No visitor data, personal data, or site credentials are ever sent. * **When:** only on explicit admin actions (QR preview / PNG download). Site visitors never trigger any external request. * **Service terms:** https://goqr.me/api/ and privacy policy: https://goqr.me/privacy- safety-security/ ## Installation 1. Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/` or install via the WordPress admin. 2. Activate the plugin. 3. Go to **Settings HXSR** to configure your prefix and add links. ## FAQ ### Why 302 and not 301? HXSR is designed for scheduled and changeable redirects. 301 redirects are cached by browsers and would prevent scheduled switching from working reliably. 302 is always the correct choice here. ### Does this log visitor IPs? No. HXSR only counts total accesses per link (a simple integer increment). No IP addresses, user agents, or timestamps are stored. Visitors never trigger any external request either — the QR Server API (see External services) is only called from the admin screen. ### Does clicking my own short links count toward the total? No. If you’re logged in as an administrator (`manage_options`), visiting a short link still redirects you normally but does not increment the counter — only visits from logged-out visitors are counted. You can also manually reset any link’s count to 0 from the links list. ### What is the serial number on QR codes? An optional 6-digit identifier (e.g. `SN:000042`) printed below the QR code image. Useful for tracking which physical printout or flyer a scan came from. ### What is the HX Bridge pattern? If the HXMD plugin is active, HXSR will automatically save link data as a Markdown log via HXMD. If HXMD is not installed, HXSR still works perfectly and offers standalone`. md` download. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “HXSR — Smart Redirecter” is open source software.

Expected constraint-violation errors are now suppressed at the query level. * Fix: save error message now names the conflicting slug specifically * Change: the in-modal error box now scrolls into view automatically, so it’s visible even if you had scrolled down while filling the form (e.g. adding a schedule) #### 0.1.9 * New: reset access count to 0 from the links list (small reset icon next to the count) * Change: logged-in administrators (manage_options) no longer increment the access count when visiting a short link themselves — only real visitor traffic is counted #### 0.1.8 * Refactor: removed all inline style=”” attributes from the admin template (21 occurrences) and moved them into CSS classes. Previous layout fixes had inconsistent effect because inline styles on individual elements were competing with the stylesheet; the admin UI now fully follows the –hxsr-* token system. #### 0.1.7 * Style: fixed list row layout — serial number and memo icon now sit on one line instead of wrapping separately * Style: Delete button now matches the other pill buttons instead of looking like plain text * Style: Add Schedule fields top-align consistently across URL / Post-Page / Media( was bottom-aligned, which broke when field heights differed) #### 0.1.6 * New: search by QR serial number — “SN:000001”, “000001”, or the plain ID all resolve to the link * New: serial number shown in the links list (under the short URL) #### 0.1.5 * Change: Markdown export now opens a copy-to-clipboard viewer instead of downloading a file (downloads could stall as .crdownload) * Fix: icon/text alignment in pill buttons #### 0.1.4 * Fix: serial number on QR downloads was invisible (GD colors were allocated on the source palette image — black bar with black text) * Fix: save errors were hidden behind the modal — errors now show inside the modal * New: search box on the links list (matches slug, redirect URL, and memo; uses plugin-prefixed `hxsr_s` param) * Style: Add Schedule form realigned (labels above fields, baseline-aligned row) #### 0.1.3 * Style: admin UI redesigned with the HX Series token system (HXRV-style CSS custom properties, indigo brand color) * Style: segmented control for redirect type, dashicons instead of emoji, x-cloak to prevent modal flash #### 0.1.2 * Fix: fatal error when rendering the link list after saving a link (leftover variable from template refactor) #### 0.1.1 * Fix: admin screen was blank — Alpine.js initialized before the component was defined (script loading order) * Change: moved to a top-level admin menu (dashicons-randomize) * Change: removed unused bundled htmx (admin uses fetch, visitors load zero JS) #### 0.1.0 * Initial release ## Meta * Version **0.1.13** * Last updated **1 day ago** * Active installations **Fewer than 10** * WordPress version ** 6.3 or higher ** * Tested up to **7.0.2** * PHP version ** 7.4 or higher ** * Tags * [link management](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/link-management/)[qr code](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/qr-code/) [redirect](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/redirect/)[short url](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/short-url/) * [Advanced View](https://wordpress.org/plugins/hxsr-smart-redirecter/advanced/) ## Ratings No reviews have been submitted yet.
