**Why BioLinks instead of Linktree?**

Linktree hosts your page on their domain (linktr.ee). With BioLinks, your page lives on your own WordPress site. You keep full control over design, data, and SEO.

== Installation ==

1. Upload the `biolinks` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' screen in WordPress.
3. Your page is created automatically at `/links/`.
4. Go to **BioLinks** in the admin menu to configure your links, photo, and template.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Is BioLinks really free? =

Yes, 100%. No premium version, no locked features. The full plugin, forever.

= What's the difference with Linktree? =

Linktree hosts your page on their domain (linktr.ee). With BioLinks, your page lives on your own WordPress site. You keep full control over design, data, and SEO.

= Is it compatible with my WordPress theme? =

BioLinks generates a standalone page without your theme's header or footer. It works with any WordPress theme.
