Description
QR Code Generator creates scannable QR codes for your WordPress content. Each post, page, or WooCommerce product gets a compact short URL (/go/{base36}) that 301-redirects to the original permalink.
Key Features:
- Pure PHP QR code engine — no external APIs, no JavaScript rendering
- Short URLs via
/go/{base36}with permanent 301 redirects - Works with posts, pages, and WooCommerce products
- Customizable pixel size, quiet zone, and colours
- One-click generate, download, and copy from the editor sidebar
- Lightweight — only requires the PHP GD extension
- ISO/IEC 18004 compliant QR encoding
How It Works:
- Edit any post, page, or product
- Find the « QR Code » meta box in the sidebar
- Click « Generate QR Code »
- Download the PNG or copy the short URL

FAQ
-
Does this plugin require an external API?
-
No. QR codes are generated entirely in PHP on your server using the GD image library.
-
What post types are supported?
-
By default: posts, pages, and WooCommerce products. You can select which post types to enable in Tools > QR Code Generator.
-
Can I customise the QR code appearance?
-
Yes. Go to Tools > QR Code Generator to change the pixel size, quiet zone (margin), and dark/light colours.
-
Do existing QR codes update when I change settings?
-
No. After changing settings, click « Regenerate QR Code » on each post to apply the new appearance.
-
Where are the QR code images stored?
-
In your uploads directory under
wp-content/uploads/qr-codes/. They are automatically deleted when a post is permanently deleted. -
Does the short URL work without pretty permalinks?
-
The
/go/{base36}rewrite requires pretty permalinks to be enabled (Settings > Permalinks — anything other than « Plain »).
