    Hi there.

    I am trying to build a website with ACF and your QR code plugin. I’m creating different courses in ACF post type called “course”.


    My idea was to geneate a QR code (that could be printed, and handed out) for each course, and have the other fields related to the course, in the QR code aswell. So if someone scans it, they would be redirected to the specific course?

    For example: [kaya_qrcode content=”[acf field=course_title] [acf field=course_date]”] and so on?

    Is that even possible? I’m trying to see if it can be part of the url, for example: website.com/course/random-course/=?course_title_course_date

    Hello,
    Thank you for your comment and for using ‘Kaya QR Code Generator’.

    In order to be redirected to the specific course when scanned, you must directly encode the URL.

    To be dynamically encoded with ACF shortcodes, you must use [kaya_qrcode_dynamic]shortcode, for example: [kaya_qrcode_dynamic][acf field=course_base_url]?title=[acf field=course_title]&date=[acf field=course_date][/kaya_qrcode_dynamic]

    The information that you include in your course address does not matter for the encoding of the QR Code, but must be a compliant URL, and correctly managed by your site.

    Best regards.
