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>
