This sometimes happens when first installing the plugin, and occasionally if you have deactivated it and re-activated it. I’m getting a “Page not found” error when I scan my QR Code. I decided that this would be a good way to give people the option of hosting the images themselves, or letting Google do it for them. The old plugin will continue to function until Google removes the QR functionality from its Charts API.
This didn’t seem very user friendly to me.Īdditionally, not everyone may want to host QR images on their own site. Users would have had to re-save all of their old QR Redirect posts in order to generate the new images. Largely because of the new way in which the QR codes are generated.

How are your QR Codes generated?įor more information, see: Why did you turn this into a new plugin instead of just updating the old QR Code Redirect plugin? This plugin lets you point your QR code’s embeded URL to a different web address from the WordPress backend rather than changing your marketing artwork.įor example, if you are using an off-site service to host a contest, you can point a QR code at that site for the duration of the contest and later change it to point to another page with the contest winners.

In order to update them, you have to generate a whole new image (which would suck if you were putting them on flyers or some other printed medium and suddenly needed to change them). If you have previously uploaded an old image to another site, rather than hotlinking, it will still function. Printed versions of the old image will still function, but if you were hotlinking the original image somewhere outside of your website you will need to update it there. Any shortcodes in use on your site will be automatically updated. What happens if I change the size or error correction level?Ī new image with the appropriate settings will be generated and the original image will be removed from your site. Presumably this is something you won’t be doing too often, if ever.
The only time you would ever have to switch out an image is if you change your site’s settings, and thus change the s of the QR Redirect posts. The QR Code points to a WordPress on your site. If I need to change the URL I want to redirect to, do I have to update the QR Code image in all of my ads? This shortcode will be generated on the edit page for each of your QR Redirects for you to copy and paste. Where “id” is the post ID of your QR Redirect post.
