Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Kaya QR Code Generator

There are three ways to add a QR code: Use the [kaya_qrcode] shortcode. Add the Kaya QR Code block in the Gutenberg editor. Use the Kaya QR Code widget in a widget area. You can also use the Shortcode generator to create a shortcode with your preferred options.

The Shortcode generator lets you configure the QR code options and automatically generates the corresponding shortcode. It also provides a QR code preview and a button to copy the generated shortcode. In the editor, the generator can be displayed fully or collapsed by default. When collapsed, only the generated shortcode and QR code preview are displayed until the generator is opened.

The Shortcode generator fields are used to build a shortcode. They are not custom fields for the post and do not modify or save anything in the post content. After configuring the QR code, copy the generated shortcode and insert it into a Shortcode block or directly into your content. If you want to configure and insert a QR code directly in the Gutenberg editor, you can use the Kaya QR Code block instead.

Dynamic content allows you to generate the QR code content from another WordPress shortcode. For a shortcode, use: [kaya_qrcode_dynamic][example_shortcode][/kaya_qrcode_dynamic] The shortcode between the opening and closing tags is processed before the QR code is generated.

Yes. Use: [kaya_qrcode]
