Linkentra for WordPress is a permanently free WordPress plugin for creating and managing dynamic URL QR codes directly on your own website.
Each QR code uses a local short URL on your WordPress installation. This QR redirect points to the current destination URL, so you can change the destination later while the printed QR code stays the same.
Features:
* unlimited dynamic URL QR codes
* destination URLs can be changed at any time
* local QR redirects on your own WordPress domain
* QR code preview
* PNG and SVG download
* print view for browser-based PDF output
* shortcode output
* simple scan counter and last-scan timestamp
* cookie-free counting without storing full IP addresses
* no license key required
The free edition works entirely inside your own WordPress installation. It does not require an external license server, has no time limit, and does not impose a usage quota.
Linkentra also exists as separate self-hosted software independent of WordPress: https://linkentra.de/ . Purchasing that software does not unlock this plugin. There is no automatic migration or synchronization in this plugin. A seven-day software demo is available at https://demo.linkentra.de/app/?page=register (QR export and printing disabled in the demo).
Third Party Libraries
The plugin includes a local QR code JavaScript library based on Kazuhiko Arase’s QRCode Generator under the MIT License. License and copyright notices are included in THIRD-PARTY-LICENSES.txt and in the library files.
