Troubleshooting

Icons not appearing

Cause: Font Awesome is not loaded.

Solution: Enable ‘Load Font Awesome from CDN’ in the plugin settings.


Analytics not recording

Cause: User did not accept the consent banner.

Solution: Analytics only records after consent. Verify the consent banner is enabled and that users are accepting it.


Geolocation data not showing

Cause: Geolocation is disabled or API is not responding.

Solution: Enable ‘Geolocation’ in settings. If using high traffic, add an ipapi.co token.


SVG QR code not generating

Cause: SVG API option is disabled.

Solution: Enable ‘SVG by API (QR)’ in settings, or use the PHP PNG generation instead.


CSV export fails

Cause: User lacks permissions or nonce expired.

Solution: Ensure the user has edit_posts capability. Refresh the page and try again.


LinkTree showing 404

Cause: Permalinks not flushed after changing base slug.

Solution: Go to Settings → Permalinks and click ‘Save Changes’ to flush rewrite rules.
