  • Works out of the box

    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...

  • Didn't work for me

    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.

  • Works like a charm!

    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!

  • Menu junk

    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!
