It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress. ![](https://ps.w.org/stupid-simple-qr/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=1624375) # Stupid Simple QR By [Nagmay](https://profiles.wordpress.org/gabrielmcgovern/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/stupid-simple-qr.1.0.6.zip) * [Details](https://fuc.wordpress.org/plugins/stupid-simple-qr/#description) * [Reviews](https://fuc.wordpress.org/plugins/stupid-simple-qr/#reviews) * [Installation](https://fuc.wordpress.org/plugins/stupid-simple-qr/#installation) * [Development](https://fuc.wordpress.org/plugins/stupid-simple-qr/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/stupid-simple-qr/) ## Description Adds a ‘QR’ button next to ‘Get Shortlink’ on published pages and posts. Your authors can click it to print out a QR image and promote what they created. 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! Note: WP4.4 hid the ‘Get Shortlink’ button. This plugin will also unhide that button. #### Options There is one optional feature. It allows you to add arbitrary text to the end of the shortcode. This can be useful for tracking purposes. ## Screenshots * [[ * Look ma, a QR button! * [[ * Pushing the button creates a QR code! ## Installation 1. Upload the `stupid-simple-qr` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress That’s it. You are done! ## FAQ Why did you create this when there are so many other QR plugins? There are a bunch of other QR related plugins. However they are for including QRs in your posts. **This plugin creates QR images FOR YOUR POSTS!** My authors needed a simple way to get the QR of the posts they create. This was the solution. How does the append option work? 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: `yourdomain.com/?p=195&medium=qr` in your analytics. For multisite, this can be set at both the site and network level. They will both be added. 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 watch [“QR Codes Kill Kittens” by Scott Stratten](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukzY4v_aOEE). 2. What, they still want them? Use this plugin and save yourself the headache. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/08ef5ef50515fd55bba25c9a6a1174cf6859682e463f3326f09d030685bc9347? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[very simple!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/very-simple-71/)󠁿 [sheldonng](https://profiles.wordpress.org/sheldonng/) MBooy 26, 2018 Simple is beautiful.
