FAQ

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

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.

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.

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.
