Biggest opportunity: Add “creation”, “qr codes” and “tracking code” to your wp.org tags. You rank #8, #10 and #24 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed these are the slots worth spending.

of downloads still active
At least 2K of 63.5K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Analytics plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,007 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Analytics plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 6 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

What to do about it
- Add “creation”, “qr codes” and “tracking code” to your wp.org tags. You rank #8, #10 and #24 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed these are the slots worth spending.
- One page off on “qr”. #14 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ robertabela6mo ago
I’ve been looking for a simple QR code plugin, and this one does exactly the job. Many QR plugins are either too feature-heavy or built for very specific use cases. This one keeps things straightforward; it just generates QR codes without overcomplicating things. It’s easy to use and lightweight. Kudos to the plugin author.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ charlatana7mo ago
Installing is very easy, but then I’m lost. I can’t generate a proper code, it’s not possible to edit it and there’s no way publishing and to track anything. Unfortunately, it was a waste of time.

I have no idea how to make this plugin generate a QR code.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ mariken1.4y ago
The QR code works with the short code only. The QR block does not work or d id I do something wrong? The install is super simple.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Michael1.8y ago
After trying everything from the plugin’s documentation and video to Googling for answers, the plugin just doesn’t seem to work for my website. All it produces is an unreadable QR image void of any labeling I tried to add. And yes, I tried generating the code without the label.

Despite subscribing to the pro offer, support does not respond regarding an announced feature that does not work. This topic was modified 1 year, 10 months ago by arnaudstratogene.

The plugin is very intuitive and easy to use. Has great built in features. Wish we had started using it years ago for our QR code needs. The Developer was super responsive when we had a question, and even added new features to the plugin to help resolve our needs.

Simple, clean and it does everything I was hoping it would do. Terrific little tool. Thanks Patrick!
