How to add custom qr-code image size

You can use hook in your theme functions.php file. Example
`add_filter(‘wqm_qr_size_presets’, function(array $presets, int $post_id = 0) {
$presets[] = 300;
sort($presets);
return $presets;
}, 10, 2);“`

Why I can`t read QR code sometimes

That happens if you disable margin around code or set it too small. In this case your QR code reader can`t detect QR code borders.

Why my device do not see all MeCard/vCard filled fields

Different devices and different software may not work with some fields which are set in the code standard. But all of them should work with basic fields as phone, email, url, name and address.

Why QR code not works when logo placed in QR code center

QR code has additional information which help read damaged code. When you place logo you actually make code “damaged”. And if you can`t read QR code after logo placed just make logo smaller or/and correction level higher

Disappointed with vCard Plugin: Persistent Scam Calls

By thidak on May 12, 2023

Installed vCard plugin hoping for efficient contact management, but it backfired. Received relentless scam calls despite taking precautions. No warning or support from developers. Do not recommend due to security concerns and lack of accountability.

Super mais à améliorer

Merci pour ce plugin. Il est fonctionnel, par contre la photo ne s'affiche pas. Ce serait top si on pouvait modifier les couleurs de fond et de texte.

Encore merci.

Working perfectly

It is an awesome plugin providing vcard mvard solution.

Great Plugin

By wah666wah on October 29, 2021

The plugin is beautiful for a dynamic vCard generation. It has options to add pictures, titles, contact information and notes with a user-friendly interface. I would love to have social media links in the coming release ASAP. Keep up the awesome work Web Marshal! Edit: The feature is there now! Now I can add multiple links to the contact for social media platforms. It would be great if the phone would detect them as social media links and not as the homepage when read by an iPhone. apart from that, it works like a charm.

Excellent Plugin - Would love to add photo

Awesome plugin guys! Really like it. I would love to be able to add an image to my vcard if possible. Would happily pay for this as an extra if you add a premium vers. Great job 🙂

Sencillo y lo que se necesita, debería tener una opción de subir datos por archivos csv. Simple and what it takes, it should have an option to upload data by csv files
