Redirect URL not changing

    Hello, first of all thanks for the amazing tool!

    I have an issue, I create a standard qr code which works great. But When I change the Redirect URL, the qr code still redirect to the first one.

    I am using clouflare and W3 total cache, already add a rule to cloudflare for url /?rest_route=/rapi/dynamic-qr-code&qr=* (Cache Level: Bypass, Disable Performance).
    About W3 total cache I exclude the same url and empty all caches. QR code still redirect to the first one.

    I wonder if this is cache issue or I do something wrong.

    Also, noticed that when I scan a code I get good status at logs, but if I visit the QR-URL directly to a browser I got errors.

    Please let me know.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello Stergos,
    my first thought could be to exclude from the cache both the api URL (/?rest_route=/rapi/dynamic-qr-code&qr=*) and the page URL (i.e. the Redirect URL).
    I’m currently probing a (old) trick to fool the caching systems, but it would work only on the Redirect URL anyway. In case, we’ll add this change in the next plugin update.

    “Also, noticed that when I scan a code I get good status at logs, but if I visit the QR-URL directly to a browser I got errors.”
    If you want to visit a QR-URL without using a mobile device, you need to activate the Enable requests from any type of device option in the Settings page.

    Hello Stergos,
    a plugin update (version 0.9.3) should be available on your dashboard shortly.
    The Settings page now includes a new option (Enable random querystring) that could help to prevent redirecting to cached pages.
    Let us know.

    Hello, just update the plugin and also check the new option. I have exclude (/?rest_route=/rapi/dynamic-qr-code&qr=*) to both and also exclude the redirect url. When I change the Redirect URL, the qr code still redirect to the first one. But when I test it with other browser, it redirect to the new one. So seems to be browser cache issue. No worries, I will manage it now I know where to look. Thank you so much for support.
