Remove rel=”nofollow ugc” from links in comments

This removes the tag before it displays the comment on the page. I tested it myself.

function remove_ugc_from_links($text) {
    // replace 'rel="ugc"' with an empty string
    $new_text = str_replace('rel="ugc"', '', $text);

    return $new_text;
}
// Hook our function to the 'comment_text' filter
add_filter( 'comment_text', 'remove_ugc_from_links');
