The QR code is created using the ‘shortlink’.

The plugin uses the Google Charts API and (as the name applies) is stupid simple to set up and use!

There is one extra, optional feature:

In the settings you can add some text that will be appended to the URL on the QR codes. This can be used for tracking purposed. For instance, You can set it as: “&medium=qr”. That way links will look like ‘http://www.yourdomain.com/?p=195&medium=qr’ in your analytics.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did you create this when there are som many other QR plugins?

There are a bunch of other QR related plugins. However, they are mostly for including QRs in your posts. This creates QR images FOR YOUR POSTS!

My authors needed a super simple way to get the QR of the posts they create. This way the solution.

Does it do X, Y, or Z???

No, no and no.

Who uses QR codes anyway?

Good question. In my experience, they are rarely used by customers. However, this doesn’t mean that your authors aren’t demanding them anyway.

If someone wants to create QR codes:

  1. Ask them to read “QR Codes Kill Kittens
  2. What, they still want them? Use this plugin and save yourself the headache
