Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

CardFaro connects your physical business card to an editable contact page on your own WordPress website.

Manage your contact details, introduction, portrait, branding and colors in the CardFaro editor. Publish your contact page and share its URL through an NFC tag, a message or a QR code printed on your business card. Visitors can download a vCard to add your details to their address book.

The page URL stays the same after contact updates. Its URL name becomes permanent when first published, helping existing NFC tags and printed QR codes keep working.

Features

  • A standalone editor for your digital business card, with no account registration, subscription or trial expiry.
  • Contact details, organization, introduction, portrait and logo from your Media Library.
  • Custom colors, brand text and two-line slogan.
  • German and English contact pages with browser language selection and manual switching.
  • vCard 3.0 download, QR code display and SVG download, and native sharing or clipboard support.
  • Optional links to your privacy policy and legal notice.
  • No public card listing and no automatic menu links.
  • No tracking, remote font loading, analytics or required external service.

Editor language

The CardFaro editor is available in German and English. Its language follows a saved manual CardFaro choice, then a supported WordPress user language, then the site language, and otherwise English. The editor, live preview and public contact page can use different languages without changing one another.

NFC and printed cards

CardFaro does not write NFC tags or provide physical cards. Write the contact page URL to a compatible tag with a suitable app or device, or print its QR code on your physical card. Hardware and NFC writing software are not included.

Privacy

Only information you choose to publish appears on the contact page. A published page is accessible to anyone who knows its URL. The page requests no indexing, but this is not access protection.

Unpublish the card to stop serving its contact details.

The plugin stores the contact record in your WordPress database. It does not send it to an external service. Portrait and logo are selected from your Media Library.

Deactivating or deleting the plugin preserves your contact data. To remove it permanently, unpublish and clear the fields before removing the plugin; remove any uploaded images separately if appropriate.
