Share it with clients, reviewers, or collaborators— they can read the content without needing a WordPress account. Think of it like Google Docs’ “Anyone with the link can view” — but for WordPress. #### How it works 1. Open any post or page in the editor (Block Editor or Classic Editor). 2. Click **“Generate Draft Link”** in the sidebar panel or meta box. 3. Choose an expiry: 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or never. 4. 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; } ); ``` #### Source Code The full source code including build tools is included in the plugin’s `assets/js/ src/` directory. ## Screenshots [⌊Erdo Draft Links panel in the Block Editor sidebar — generate, copy, and manage your link.⌉⌊Erdo Draft Links panel in the Block Editor sidebar — generate, copy, and manage your link.⌉[ Erdo Draft Links panel in the Block Editor sidebar — generate, copy, and manage your link.

Upload the `erdo-draft-links` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory. 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu in WordPress. 3. Open any post or page and find the **Erdo Draft Links** panel in the editor sidebar or meta box. ## FAQ ### Does this work with custom post types? Yes. By default Erdo Draft Links supports posts and pages. Add more post types using the `erdo_draft_links_supported_post_types` filter. ### Is the shared link secure? Yes. Tokens are 32 characters of cryptographic randomness generated by WordPress’s built-in `wp_generate_password`. The raw token appears in the URL only once — subsequent visits use a signed HttpOnly cookie. Tokens are stored as SHA-256 HMAC hashes in the database. ### What happens when a link expires? The recipient sees a clear message: “This draft link has expired and is no longer accessible.” The post remains a draft — nothing is published. ### Can I have multiple active links for the same post? Currently one active link per post. Regenerating creates a new token and resets the view count. ### Does this work with password-protected posts? No. Erdo Draft Links is designed for draft and private posts. Password-protected posts use WordPress’s own mechanism. ### Does this plugin affect site performance? Erdo Draft Links only runs on requests that include a `?erdo_token=` parameter or a valid session cookie. Normal site traffic is not affected. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/e8fcba5b65463ada66b912f1f0befa17c9f628da73f8b4623142828bfb75ce0a? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Exactly the tool every client workflow needs](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exactly-the-tool-every-client-workflow-needs/)󠁿 [Delta Web Solution](https://profiles.wordpress.org/desktopmoe/) Metheven 12, 2026 If you do any kind of client work, this plugin is a no-brainer. You generate a secure temporary link, send it over, and the client opens the post exactly how it’ll look live. No account, no login, no awkward exports, just a clean preview in seconds. The little details are what make it shine. You can set the link to expire after 24 hours, a few days, or never, and revoke it any time, so you always stay in full control of who can see what. It works with both the Block Editor and Classic Editor, and setup is so simple you’ll have your first link out the door within a minute of installing it. It is lightweight, does one job and does it really well, and it is completely free. If you have ever struggled to let someone preview a draft without handing over WP access, just install this, you won’t look back. Genuinely one of those plugins you wonder how you worked without. Highly recommended.
