Description
#### Steps to Reproduce
1. Listing Page - Company URL has nofollow directive
2. Listing Page - Company Description - has dofollow directive
#### What I Expected
I am using both Jobify and Listify theme. I am offering paid listing submission and since I am editorially choosing the links on my website I have the discretion to have the links on my website as _nofollow or dofollow_.
I expected the plugin to have a _feature_ that will let owners have an option to choose if they want a dofollow or nofollow directive on the links on **Company Description** and **Company Website**.

#### What Happened Instead
I've provided the images below. The first image is the Company Description where the user added several links on the description. If you noticed the users uses different anchor texts pointing to the same url. The user knows that the links would contain **dofollow**.

Second image, the Company URL has **Nofollow** directive. Since I editorially approved the link on my website, and I want to offer that the links would be **Dofollow instead of Nofollow**.

#### WordPress / WP Job Manager Version
WP Job Manager Version **1.31.0**
ListifyVersion: 2.6.0
JobifyVersion: 3.9.0
WordPress 4.9.6
#### Browser / OS Version

Thank you.

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by locating the listing-page rendering and the existing nofollow behavior for Company Description and Company Website, then trace where listing settings are exposed in WordPress. Done means owners can choose dofollow or nofollow independently for those links, with the choice reflected on the listing page.
