    Hi there,

    when using the QR Code tool with the link option, it uses the postid of the page to create the clickable QR Code instead of my permalinkstructure using the postname. This leads to a 404 error, because postid’s are not accessible any more.

    Kind regards,
    Jesper

    Hi Jesper,

    Could you post here your shortcode, the resulting link, the expected link and your permalink structure? So I could reproduce the issue.

    Thank you.

    Hi Vova,

    the shortcode I use: [su_qrcode data="https://input-pflege.de/echtheitspruefung/" title="Bescheinigungs-ID scannen" size="100" margin="5" align="center" color="#ef782c"]

    The resulting link: https://input-pflege.de/?p=14145

    The expected link: https://input-pflege.de/echtheitspruefung/

    My permalink structur is set to postnames.

    I’m using the QRcode with the learndash certificate tracker by ELearning complete.

    Thanks in advance,
    Jesper

    The QR Code itself doesn’t modify the provided data. So, if you have data="https://input-pflege.de/echtheitspruefung/" in your shortcode, you will get the exact same URL encoded in a QR Code https://input-pflege.de/echtheitspruefung/.

    It seems you have a 3rd-party plugin which modifies the shortcode before it’s being rendered by WordPress. The culprit also adds the &certificate_id= part to the resulting URL. Try checking any plugins which may rely on the certificate_id part.

    Maybe it’s the learndash certificate tracker by ELearning mentioned by you above.

    Best,
