Description

Slide Arts – Dynamic QR Link lets you create QR codes that point at a stable URL on your WordPress site. When someone scans the code, WordPress redirects them to any destination you set — on your site or elsewhere.

Change the destination anytime without reprinting flyers, packaging, or signage.

Features

Manual QR Links for campaigns and print materials
Auto QR Rules for Posts, Pages, Products, or any public post type
Global Design defaults with per-QR overrides (shape, dots, corners, gradients, logo)
Browser-side generation via qr-code-styling (no Endroid / no third-party QR APIs)
Scan counter with clear action
Shortcode [sadql_qr], Gutenberg block, and PHP helpers (sadql_the_qr(), sadql_get_qr())
Bulk generate and client-side repair tools
Optional import from the classic QR Redirector plugin

Shortcode

[sadql_qr id="123"] — by QR Link ID  
[sadql_qr post_id="45"] — by content post  
[sadql_qr] — current post in the loop

PHP

<?php sadql_the_qr( [ 'post_id' => get_the_ID() ] ); ?>

Privacy

All data stays on your WordPress site. Destination URLs and scan counts are stored in post meta. QR images are saved under uploads/slidearts-dynamic-qr-link/.

FAQ

Do I need to reprint QR codes when the destination changes?: No. The QR encodes your site’s /qr/... URL. Update the destination in WordPress and printed codes keep working.
How are QR images generated?: In the WordPress admin browser using qr-code-styling, then uploaded to your media uploads folder. Front-end shortcodes/blocks serve the saved image URL.
Can I style each QR differently?: Yes. Set global defaults under Design, then enable Override global design on any Manual or Auto-linked QR.
