Creating Your First Bio Page
Add a new bio page#
Go to Link Bio → Add New Bio Page in your WordPress admin. You will see a title field at the top — this becomes your page slug. For example, typing links creates a bio page at yoursite.com/links.
Click Publish to save. WordPress will load the WP LinkCanvas editor in the post meta area below the title.
The editor layout#
The editor is split into sections that stack top to bottom. You configure them once and they apply across all languages if you are using a multilanguage plugin.
Slug — the URL path for the bio page. Set when you publish and editable any time. Changing the slug changes the URL, so update any links you have posted externally.
Avatar — upload your profile photo, set a display name, subtitle, and bio text. You can also add a keyframe animation to the photo (pulse, float, spin, bounce) and toggle the avatar visible or hidden per layout preference.
Social Icons — a row of icon links shown below your bio text. Social icons are shared across all languages. Add icons for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, Facebook, and 35+ other platforms, or upload a custom image icon.
Theme — choose one of five presets (Midnight, Aurora, Paper, Brutalist, Sunset) or build a custom theme using the token fields. The theme applies to all languages.
Showcase Rail — optional WooCommerce product carousel shown above or below your links. Requires WooCommerce to be active.
Language Tabs — if you have WPML, Polylang, or TranslatePress installed, you will see a tab per language. Each language tab has its own title, subtitle, bio, SEO fields, and links list. Without a multilanguage plugin there is a single tab.
Links — your list of clickable links. Use the + Add Link button to add links. Each link has a type (Button, Enhanced, Media, Embed, Shortcode, or Vidstack) and its own settings. Links are ordered by drag and drop.
Page Options — a collapsible section at the bottom for the page-level sensitive content gate.
Custom CSS — a plain text field for per-page CSS overrides, applied only to this bio page.
Adding your first link#
- In the Links section of the editor, click + Add Link
- Enter a label — this is the text shown on the button
- Enter a URL — the destination when someone clicks
- Click Save in the top right corner of the WordPress editor
The link will appear on the bio page immediately. You can reorder links by dragging the handle on the left side of each row.
Viewing your bio page#
Click View Bio Page in the WordPress admin bar, or visit the slug URL directly in your browser. The bio page uses a standalone template — it does not inherit your theme’s header, footer, or sidebar.
Multiple bio pages#
You can create as many bio pages as you need, each with its own slug and content. Go to Link Bio in the sidebar to see all your bio pages and add new ones. Each is managed independently.
