# How to Create QR code for WordPress Users

To create QR code for WordPress users, you can use our [WordPress QR Code plugin](https://sharabindu.com/plugins/wordpress-qr-code-generator/), which allows you to embed QR codes via shortcodes and have them auto-generated and displayed on the backend on the Users page.

## Auto generated and displayed on the Users page:

Go to your WordPress site's dashboard, find the Users menu, then edit a user, scroll down, and you'll find the QR code as shown below. This feature is available in both the free and Premium version

### What is the content/value of the user's QR code?:

It works with the user's first name, last name, display name, email, website URL, and user Biographical Info as content of the User's QR code.

If you leave any field empty, it will generate a QR code, and the rest of the fields will be filled with information.
