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
- Create a QR Code and set a destination URL
- Download and print/share the QR code
- Visitors scan the code and get redirected to your destination
- 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.

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.
