## Description

**The Problem:** You print QR codes, hang them up, and when you need to change where
they point, you have to reprint and replace them. Expensive, wasteful, and time-
consuming.

**The Solution:** Reusable QR Codes creates permanent QR codes that you can update
anytime without reprinting!

#### How It Works

 1. Create a QR Code and set a destination URL
 2. Download and print/share the QR code
 3. Visitors scan the code and get redirected to your destination
 4. **Update the destination anytime** without reprinting the QR code!

The QR code contains a permanent link to your WordPress site, which then redirects
to wherever you want. Change the destination as many times as you need – the physical
QR code never changes.

#### Perfect For

 * **Museums & Galleries** – Update exhibit information without reprinting signs
 * **Retail Stores** – Change product details, promotions, and seasonal content
 * **Restaurants** – Update menus, daily specials, or seasonal offerings
 * **Event Organizers** – Modify schedules, speaker info, or venue details
 * **Real Estate** – Update property information and availability
 * **Education** – Link to current classroom resources and materials
 * **Tourism** – Keep landmark and trail information fresh

## FAQ

### Do I need any external services or API keys?

No! This plugin is completely self-contained and works entirely within your WordPress
installation. No external dependencies, no API keys, no recurring fees for the free
version.

### Can I really change where the QR code points without reprinting it?

Yes! That’s the whole point. The QR code contains a permanent URL on your site (
like `yoursite.com/qr/museum-exhibit-1/`). When someone scans it, they’re instantly
redirected to whatever destination URL you’ve set. Change that destination anytime
in WordPress.

### How many QR codes can I create?

Unlimited! Create as many as you need.

### What formats can I download?

PNG (high resolution 1024x1024px) and SVG (vector, scales to any size). Both are
perfect for printing.

### Will this slow down my site?

No. The plugin is very lightweight and only loads assets when needed. The redirect
happens instantly with minimal database queries.

### Can I use my own logo in the QR code?

Not in the free version. This feature is available in the Premium version.

### Can I track how many times a QR code was scanned?

Not in the free version. Analytics and scan tracking are available in the Premium
version.

### Does this work with block themes?

Yes! The plugin works with both classic and block themes.

### Can I display QR codes on the frontend?

The free version is focused on backend management and downloads. Frontend display
via shortcodes is available in the Premium version.

### What happens if I delete a QR code post?

The QR code will stop working – visitors will see a 404 error. Only delete QR codes
you’re sure you don’t need anymore.

### Can I export/import QR codes?

Not currently. This is planned for a future version.
