Descripziun
Gulo Link-in-Bio turns a WordPress Page into a fully self-contained link-in-bio page — without touching your active theme. It is a self-hosted alternative to Linktree. Ideal for social media bios, creator profiles, and landing pages that collect all your important links in one place.
How it works
- Install and activate the plugin.
- Go to Gulo Link-in-Bio in the admin menu and configure your profile.
- Create any WordPress Page, select it in the settings, then publish it.
The plugin serves a standalone HTML page (bypasses the active theme entirely), so your link-in-bio page looks identical no matter which theme is installed.
Features
- Profile section — circular avatar, name, and bio/tagline
- Unlimited links — drag to reorder, toggle active/inactive without deleting
- Theming — gradient or solid background, custom button colors (solid or glass/frosted style), custom text color
- SEO options — optional noindex to keep the page out of search results
- Legal footer — optional Imprint and Privacy Policy links (useful for GDPR / German Impressum requirements)
- Yoast SEO compatible — integrates via Yoast’s own filters to avoid duplicate meta tags
- Cache aware — automatically purges the page cache on save (WP Super Cache, WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, WP Fastest Cache, LiteSpeed Cache, Cache Enabler)
- Editor access — Administrators and Editors can manage the settings via a custom capability
- Admin bar shortcut — logged-in users with access see an „Edit Gulo Link-in-Bio“ link directly on the frontend page
- Fully accessible — WCAG 2.2 AA: skip link, semantic landmarks, visible focus,
prefers-reduced-motion - Translated — ships with German (
de_DE), French (fr_FR), Spanish (es_ES), and Ukrainian (uk) translations - No tracking, no ads, no upsells — 100% free and open source (GPL-2.0-or-later)

FAQ
-
Does this replace my theme?
-
No. The plugin only affects the single WordPress Page you designate in settings. All other pages continue to use your active theme normally. The Gulo Link-in-Bio page is served as a completely standalone HTML document.
-
Can I use it on more than one page?
-
Currently the plugin supports one Gulo Link-in-Bio page at a time. Select the page under Gulo Link-in-Bio Gulo Link-in-Bio Page in the settings.
-
Which user roles can edit the settings?
-
Administrators and Editors. The plugin grants both roles the
gulo_manage_settingscapability on activation. Authors, Contributors, and Subscribers cannot access the settings. -
Does it work with Yoast SEO?
-
Yes. When Yoast SEO is active, the plugin hooks into Yoast’s own filters (
wpseo_title,wpseo_opengraph_type,wpseo_opengraph_title,wpseo_robots) instead of emitting competing HTML tags. There are no duplicate meta tags. -
Does it work with caching plugins?
-
Yes. Whenever settings are saved, the plugin automatically purges the Gulo Link-in-Bio page from the following caches: WP Super Cache, WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, WP Fastest Cache, LiteSpeed Cache, and Cache Enabler. It also calls
clean_post_cache()for WordPress’s built-in object cache. If you use a different caching plugin, purge the page manually after saving settings. -
Does it work with Matomo / other analytics?
-
Yes. The plugin calls
wp_head()andwp_footer()on the page, so any tracking code that hooks into those actions (Matomo via Connect Matomo, Google Site Kit, etc.) loads normally. -
Does the page appear in search results?
-
By default, yes. To exclude it, check Exclude this page from search engines (noindex) in the SEO section of the settings. This adds a
noindexmeta tag (and instructs Yoast SEO to do the same if installed). -
How do I add a language not included in the plugin?
-
- Run
composer run make:potto re-extract strings (requires WP-CLI). - Copy
languages/gulo-link-in-bio.pottolanguages/gulo-link-in-bio-{locale}.po. - Add translations in a PO editor (e.g. Poedit).
- Run
composer run make:moto compile the MO binary.
Or use a plugin like Loco Translate to translate strings directly in the WordPress admin.
- Run
-
Where can I report a bug or request a feature?
