Title: QR code link not working Last modified: November 1, 2021 --- # QR code link not working * Resolved [jespernordmann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jespernordmann/) * (@jespernordmann) * [4 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/qr-code-link-not-working/) * 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 Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) * Plugin Author [Vova](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gn_themes/) * (@gn_themes) * [4 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/qr-code-link-not-working/#post-15028466) * Hi Jesper, * Could you post here your shortcode, the resulting link, the expected link and your permalink structure?

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. * Thread Starter [jespernordmann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jespernordmann/) * (@jespernordmann) * [4 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/qr-code-link-not-working/#post-15033032) * Hi Vova, * thanks for your hint.
