<p><strong>Tidy Draft Share</strong> lets you share any unpublished WordPress post with clients, editors, or collaborators — without publishing it and without giving them a WordPress account.</p>
<p>Generate a secure, time-limited link and send it to anyone. They will see the post exactly as it will look once published: same theme, same layout, same formatting.</p>
<h4>Why Tidy Draft Share?</h4>
<p>Most editorial workflows hit the same wall: <em>“Can you take a look at this before I publish it?”</em>. The usual workarounds — copying text into an email, exporting a PDF, or creating a temporary user account — are clunky and error-prone.</p>
<p>Tidy Draft Share solves this with a single click. Create a link, send it, done. The recipient sees a pixel-perfect preview of the post inside your actual theme. When the link expires, access is gone.</p>
<h4>Key features</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>One-click sharing</strong> — Generate a secure link from the editor sidebar or the posts list, and copy it to your clipboard instantly</li>
<li><strong>Flexible expiration</strong> — Choose from 1 hour, 24 hours, 3 days, 7 days, 30 days, or no expiration at all</li>
<li><strong>Revoke anytime</strong> — Disable any link immediately with one click; access stops on the spot</li>
<li><strong>Multiple links per post</strong> — Create separate links for different reviewers, each with its own expiration and view count</li>
<li><strong>View tracking</strong> — See how many times each link has been opened</li>
<li><strong>Works everywhere</strong> — Supports posts, pages, and any custom post type (WooCommerce products, portfolio items, etc.)</li>
<li><strong>All unpublished statuses</strong> — Drafts, pending review, scheduled, and private posts</li>
<li><strong>SEO safe</strong> — Shared previews include a noindex/nofollow meta tag automatically, so search engines never index them</li>
<li><strong>Preview banner</strong> — A clear “Draft preview” banner at the top of the page tells the reader the content is not published yet</li>
<li><strong>Expired link page</strong> — Visitors see a clean, branded message when a link has expired instead of a confusing error</li>
<li><strong>Gutenberg & Classic</strong> — Full sidebar panel in the block editor, classic meta box for older setups</li>
<li><strong>Quick share from posts list</strong> — One-click share directly from your posts table, no need to open the editor</li>
<li><strong>Clean uninstall</strong> — All data is removed from your database when the plugin is deleted</li>
</ul>
<h4>Use cases</h4>
<ul>
<li>Share a formatted article with a client for approval before publishing</li>
<li>Let an external editor proofread a draft without creating a WordPress account</li>
<li>Preview scheduled content with your marketing team or stakeholders</li>
<li>Send a private post to a specific person without opening it to all logged-in users</li>
</ul>
<h4>Privacy & security</h4>
<p>Every share link uses a cryptographically secure 32-character token. Token validation uses constant-time comparison to prevent timing attacks. Links are checked on every visit — expired or revoked links return a 403 immediately. No data is sent to external servers; everything stays in your WordPress database.</p>

<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>

    $types[] = 'product';
    return $types;
} );
</code></pre>
