Share draft posts with anyone via a secure, temporary link — no WordPress login required.

Erdinc Bulat

<p><strong>Erdo Draft Links</strong> 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.</p>
<h4>How it works</h4>
<ol>
<li>Open any post or page in the editor (Block Editor or Classic Editor).</li>
<li>Click <strong>“Generate Draft Link”</strong> in the sidebar panel or meta box.</li>
<li>Choose an expiry: 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or never.</li>
<li>Share the link. Recipients can view the content — no login needed.</li>
</ol>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Works with both the <strong>Block Editor (Gutenberg)</strong> and the <strong>Classic Editor</strong></li>
<li>Supports <strong>posts</strong>, <strong>pages</strong>, and any custom post type via a filter</li>
<li>Secure <strong>32-character cryptographic tokens</strong> — brute-force resistant</li>
<li>Configurable expiry: 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or no expiry</li>
<li><strong>View count</strong> tracking per link</li>
<li>Visitors can leave <strong>name + feedback</strong> on the preview — collected in a “Feedback” tab in the admin and emailed to you</li>
<li><strong>Revoke or regenerate</strong> any link at any time</li>
<li>Tokens are stored <strong>hashed</strong> in the database — raw tokens are never stored after the redirect</li>
<li>Two-step flow: token URL <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> cookie <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> clean permalink (token never appears in browser history)</li>
<li>No external API calls, no phone-home, no subscriptions</li>
<li>Translation-ready (English default, Turkish included)</li>
</ul>
<h4>Developer Notes</h4>
<p>Developers can add support for custom post types using the <code>erdo_draft_links_supported_post_types</code> filter:</p>
<pre><code>add_filter( 'erdo_draft_links_supported_post_types', function( $types ) {
    $types[] = 'product';
    return $types;
} );
</code></pre>
<h4>Source Code</h4>
<p>The full source code including build tools is included in the plugin’s <code>assets/js/src/</code> directory.</p>


Erdo Draft Links – Share WordPress Drafts with Clients Without Login


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.
