I wrote a guest post at the following URL:
https://wparena.com/integrate-google-tag-manager-wordpress/
At the end, you can see my author box with a URL pointing back to my site. This link is a regular "follow" link and the page doesn't have "noindex" on it.
However, I'm not getting credit for it. It's not showing up in Google search console, and it hasn't been indexed by ahrefs However, a week later the cached version doesn't show the author box.

In addition, the Moz link checker shows 0 external followed links from the page:
Can anyone help me figure out what's going on?
TL;DR Is the site hiding my backlink from spiders, and yet showing it to users on the browser? Is this legal?
rel=nofollow
orrel=noindex
tags assigned to it?
