HXSR — Smart Redirecter

HXSR (Smart Redirecter) is part of the HX Series — a collection of AI-ready, buildless WordPress plugins following the WAHX stack philosophy.

Core features:

• Custom short links — Define your own slugs: example.com/go/summer-sale
• Custom prefix — Change /go/ to anything you like (/r/, /link/, etc.)
• Scheduled redirects — Set a date/time to automatically switch the redirect destination
• Chained schedules — Add multiple scheduled redirects in sequence
• Usage memos — Note where each link is used (flyers, banners, email campaigns, etc.)
• Access counting — Track total hits per link (no IP logging, privacy-safe)
• QR code generation — Download as PNG, with or without a serial number
• Post / Page targets — Redirect to a post or page by ID; the URL is resolved at runtime via get_permalink(), so links keep working across staging and production environments with different domains
• Media Library integration — Redirect to Media Library items by attachment ID (great for PDFs and images), resolved at runtime via wp_get_attachment_url()
• Markdown export — Export any link’s info as a .md file; auto-connects to HXMD if active (HX Bridge pattern)
• 302 redirects — Always temporary, cache-safe, correct for scheduled switching

AI-friendly documentation is bundled in the plugin zip (CLAUDE.md, ai-reference.md, llms.txt) — designed for use with Claude Code and other AI coding agents.

External services

This plugin uses the QR Server API (api.qrserver.com, operated by goQR.me) to generate QR code images.

• What data is sent: the short link URL (e.g. https://example.com/go/summer-sale/) is sent to api.qrserver.com when an administrator previews or downloads a QR code in the admin screen. No visitor data, personal data, or site credentials are ever sent.
• When: only on explicit admin actions (QR preview / PNG download). Site visitors never trigger any external request.
• Service terms: https://goqr.me/api/ and privacy policy: https://goqr.me/privacy-safety-security/
