 * As webmaster of the village web site I have been asked to add something which
   I don’t thinks is possible! 
   In the village is a small wild life area. At the
   gate is a notice with a QR code that leads to a YouTube video about what can 
   be seen at this time in the area. What I have been asked to do is setup a means
   of directing the person using the QR code to the village web site and from there
   redirecting them to a YouTube video appropriate for the month or season.Is this
   possible, or more to the point, easily done? If it is, I’d appreciate a pointer
   to the how.

 * Generically, if the QR code takes them to a particular page in the site then 
   auto redirects, you really just need a static file not a page and you could do
   something like:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       <?php 
       $month = date('m');
   
       if($month == 1){
       	header("Location: https://youtube.com/x");
       	die();
       } elseif($month == 2){
       	header("Location: https://youtube.com/y");
       	die();
       } elseif($month == 3){
       	header("Location: https://youtube.com/z");
       	die(); 
       } else {
          /* some default action... */
       }
       ?>
       ```
   
 * Totally untested so just an idea.
