Good when the link is settled
A fixed QR works for a permanent WordPress page with a stable address.
Create one freeWordPress guide
Add a QR code to WordPress and keep it scan-ready.
Use an Image block, upload the original file and size it deliberately. A screenshot or over-compressed thumbnail is asking for trouble.
The reliable route
Four steps from link to finished artwork.
- 1
Choose the final public page
Open the destination while signed out. Drafts, previews and protected pages are not suitable for public QR codes.
- 2
Download the original QR
Keep an SVG for print and use a large PNG for themes or editors that handle SVG poorly.
- 3
Insert an Image block
Upload the file from your device or Media Library. Add useful alt text, but do not shrink the image into a tiny column.
- 4
Publish and test
Scan the live WordPress page and the final print proof. Caching and responsive themes can change how an image is served.
Final check
Do not approve the job until these pass.
- The page is public
- WordPress is not serving a tiny thumbnail
- The mobile page and print both scan
Working example
Scan it, then inspect the address.
This sample is deliberately plain. Reliable contrast and a clear border matter more than decoration.
