Erdo Draft Links works like Google Docs’ “Anyone with the link can view” — but for WordPress. Generate a secure link for any draft, private, or published post or page and share it with clients, reviewers, or collaborators. They can read the content without needing a WordPress account, without a password, and without you ever changing the post status.
How it works
- Open any post or page in the editor (Block Editor or Classic Editor).
- Click “Generate Draft Link” in the sidebar panel or meta box.
- Choose an expiry: 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or never.
- Share the link. Recipients can view the content — no login needed.
Features
- Works with both the Block Editor (Gutenberg) and the Classic Editor
- Supports posts, pages, and any custom post type via a filter
- Secure 32-character cryptographic tokens — brute-force resistant
- Configurable expiry: 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or no expiry
- View count tracking per link
- Visitors can leave name + feedback on the preview — collected in a “Feedback” tab in the admin and emailed to you
- Revoke or regenerate any link at any time
- Tokens are stored hashed in the database — raw tokens are never stored after the redirect
- Two-step flow: token URL → cookie → clean permalink (token never appears in browser history)
- No external API calls, no phone-home, no subscriptions
- Translation-ready (English default, Turkish included)
Developer Notes
Developers can add support for custom post types using the erdo_draft_links_supported_post_types filter:
add_filter( 'erdo_draft_links_supported_post_types', function( $types ) {
$types[] = 'product';
return $types;
} );
