About URL Params

The URL Params WordPress Plugin allows you to access URL parameters in the Query String of the URL. You can specify default values and use the plugin to personalize landing pages and pre-fill form fields based on the query string. The plugin also has security measures in place to prevent any malicious code from being executed on your site.
