About Gulo Link-in-Bio
From the official readme · v0.3.1Description
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)

Frequently asked questions
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_settings capability 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() and wp_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 noindex meta 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:pot to re-extract strings (requires WP-CLI). Copy languages/gulo-link-in-bio.pot to languages/gulo-link-in-bio-{locale}.po. Add translations in a PO editor (e.g. Poedit). Run composer run make:mo to compile the MO binary. Or use a plugin like Loco Translate to translate strings directly in the WordPress admin.
Where can I report a bug or request a feature?
On GitHub Issues.
