## Description

Linkmora helps you manage and display backlinks across your WordPress site. Add 
links from the admin area, then show them with the `[linkmora]` shortcode or Linkmora
widget.

The Free plugin includes:

 * Create, edit, delete, search, filter, and reorder backlinks.
 * Set Follow or Nofollow, open links in a new tab, and control where links display.
 * Schedule links with start and expiration dates, and review Active, Scheduled,
   and Expired statuses.
 * Display links with a shortcode or widget and use Linkmora’s default frontend 
   styling.
 * Import and export links with CSV files.
 * Collect and retain click counts locally, including before Pro is installed.

#### Free and Pro

Free collects clicks and preserves historical counts. Linkmora Pro displays individual
click counts, click totals, sorting by clicks, and most-clicked links. Pro also 
adds appearance customization, email expiration notifications, automatic deletion
after expiration, and sponsored link controls. Free backlink management does not
require a Pro purchase.

#### Scheduling

Start and end dates use the WordPress site timezone. A link starts at midnight on
its start date and expires at midnight on its end date (the end date is exclusive).
Both dates are required. Uncached rendering checks the dates directly, even if scheduled
maintenance is late. WordPress cron synchronizes stored status and requests cache
clearing; full-page caches require cron to run to refresh at date boundaries.

#### Privacy

Linkmora increments a local per-link click counter. It does not store raw visitor
IP addresses in its click data. A site-salted hash of the connection IP address 
and link ID is used as a local 30-second cooldown key. The key expires after 30 
seconds; physical removal depends on WordPress transient or object-cache cleanup.
Forwarded IP headers are not trusted by the plugin. Visitors behind the same connection
address may share a cooldown.

#### Usage

Add the `[linkmora]` shortcode to a post or page, or add the Linkmora widget to 
a widget area. Manage links and settings from the Linkmora menu in WordPress admin.

### External Services

Linkmora includes the Freemius WordPress SDK for optional account connections, Pro
license management, and purchasing/account interfaces.

When you choose to connect, Freemius may receive account information (such as name
and email), site identifiers and URL, plugin/version/activation state, and WordPress/
PHP version information. Optional diagnostic and marketing collection follows the
permissions you grant in the SDK. Connected-site synchronization and license operations
communicate with Freemius as needed. Opening checkout or account interfaces also
contacts Freemius; purchases may involve billing/payment information. Deactivation/
uninstall reporting and voluntarily submitted feedback follow the SDK’s connection
state and consent controls. The SDK may also make operational requests such as connectivity
checks; this description does not promise that all requests require analytics opt-
in.

First-party Linkmora code handles visitor backlink click statistics locally and 
does not intentionally send those statistics to Freemius. The core Free backlink-
management functionality does not require a Pro purchase.

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin files to `/wp-content/plugins/linkmora`, or install the plugin
    through the WordPress Plugins screen directly.
 2. Activate the plugin through the “Plugins” screen in WordPress.
 3. Go to Linkmora > Add Link to create your first link.
 4. Go to Linkmora > Settings to configure backlink management behavior.

## FAQ

### Does this work with WP Rocket?

Yes. Linkmora requests cache clearing after successful additions, edits, deletions,
ordering changes, relevant settings changes, and scheduled status synchronization.
On sites using full-page caching, ensure WordPress cron runs regularly (or configure
a server cron) so date-boundary changes reach cached pages promptly.

### Can I stop backlinks from opening in a new tab?

Yes. Go to Linkmora > Settings and turn off “Open Links in New Tab.” When links 
do open in a new tab, Linkmora adds safe rel attributes such as `noopener noreferrer`.
