Why this plugin?
WordPress core preview links work well for editors, and Public Post Preview shares via anonymous nonces. 
This plugin adds a missing middle ground: draft previews that are secured by authentication and access control 
lists (ACLs) — role-based, user-specific, or per-email tokens — plus analytics and a one-click revoke-all.
Universal Compatibility
Works seamlessly with: 
* Full Site Editing (FSE) themes 
* Block themes (modern WordPress) 
* Classic PHP-based themes 
* All page builders including Elementor, WPBakery, Divi, etc. 
* WooCommerce product drafts 
* Any CSS framework including Tailwind CSS v4+
Key features
<ul>
<li>Create expiring preview links (default 72h; configurable).</li>
<li>Restrict by roles, specific users, or per-email tokens (no login for recipients).</li>
<li>Require HTTPS for previews (on by default).</li>
<li>Per-link analytics: allowed/denied events, hashed IP, user agent (privacy-friendly).</li>
<li>Meta box in the editor (Post/Page by default; filterable) to generate, copy, and revoke.</li>
<li>“Revoke All” for a post.</li>
<li>Everything prefixed (<code>srpl_</code>), sanitized, and aligned with WordPress coding standards.</li>
</ul>
How it works
Each generated link has a unique token, TTL, and ACL:
<ul>
<li>Role-based Access: Requires login. Only users with allowed roles can view the preview.</li>
<li>User-based Access: Requires login. Only specific user IDs can access the preview.</li>
<li>Email Token Access: No login required. Recipients receive unique URLs with email verification tokens.</li>
</ul>
When a link is visited, SRPL validates the token, expiry, and ACL, then renders the draft with your theme’s header/footer. Events are logged (when enabled) to a small custom table (<code>wp_srpl_events</code>) with hashed IP for privacy.
Privacy
<ul>
<li>IPs are hashed using <code>hash_hmac(sha256, ip, wp_salt('auth'))</code>.</li>
<li>You can disable analytics entirely under Settings → Secure Previews.</li>
</ul>
Developer Friendly
<ul>
<li>Fully documented filters and actions</li>
<li>Clean, object-oriented codebase</li>
<li>PSR-4 autoloading</li>
<li>Extensive inline documentation</li>
</ul>

<h3>Email Trouble Shooting Guide</h3>
Not receiving Drafty In Here emails?
<h4>1. Do you have any draft posts?</h4>
The email will never be sent automaticly if you do not have any draft posts. If you do not have draft posts but wish to send a test email check the box that says <code>Send a test e-mail when you save changes</code>, then save changes.
<h4>2. Have you scheduled your email?</h4>
You can check this in the plugin settings screen (see <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/drafty-in-here/screenshots/" rel="ugc">screenshots</a>).
<h4>3. Is your email address correct?</h4>
You can check this in the plugin settings screen (see <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/drafty-in-here/screenshots/" rel="ugc">screenshots</a>).
<h4>4. Have you checked your email spam folder?</h4>
Sometimes email may end up in your spam folder.
<h4>5. Are you receiving ANY WordPress emails from your site?</h4>
If you are not receiving emails for example when someone post a comment or WordPress automatically updates, there may be something wrong with the way your WordPress site is set up to send email. For more help on this issue please check out this excellent guide: <a href="http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-fix-wordpress-not-sending-email-issue/" rel="nofollow ugc">How to Fix WordPress Not Sending Email Issue</a>
<h4>6. Is your blog receiving enough traffic?</h4>
Our plugin works off the ‘WordPress Cron’ mechanism which means your email can only be sent when someone lands on your site. This can be a problem if you do not have enough traffic. For more help on this issue please check out this guide from Host Gator: <a href="http://support.hostgator.com/articles/specialized-help/technical/wordpress/how-to-replace-wordpress-cron-with-a-real-cron-job" rel="nofollow ugc">How to Replace WP-Cron With a Linux Cron Job</a>
