Why use “Kaya QR Code Generator”?
This plugin creates QR Codes (Quick Response codes) through a widget or a shortCode for easy insertion into your pages, posts, sidebars, WooCommerce products, etc.
Easy install and use, generate dynamic QR Codes with your custom settings. Content can be any text, link and even a Bitcoin address or the current page URL.
The QR Code generator library is included (based on qr.js written by Kang Seonghoon) and don’t need any dependencies.
Works well, only thing missing is direct block editor support. Shortcodes are easy to use, but of course some users would find editing things within the blockeditor easier…
Uses technical jargon, and the QR code sent users to my own website, which was odd.
The settings and the code generator should be on separate screens.

This plugin was just what I needed. No subscription, easy to install and setup. Lots of display options, highly recommended. I love the option to create and download any custom link. That makes this plugin totally useful. Thanks for your work!
WordPress should not allow plugins to create their own menu, especially not if it is just a simple plugin with one function. I don’t need your stupid Kaya Studio promotional crap permanently added to my admin menu!
