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. #### Why Tidy Draft Share? Most editorial workflows hit the same wall: _“Can you take a look at this before I publish it?”_. The usual workarounds — copying text into an email, exporting a PDF, or creating a temporary user account — are clunky and error-prone. 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. #### Key features * **One-click sharing** — Generate a secure link from the editor sidebar or the posts list, and copy it to your clipboard instantly * **Flexible expiration** — Choose from 1 hour, 24 hours, 3 days, 7 days, 30 days, or no expiration at all * **Revoke anytime** — Disable any link immediately with one click; access stops on the spot * **Multiple links per post** — Create separate links for different reviewers, each with its own expiration and view count * **View tracking** — See how many times each link has been opened * **Works everywhere** — Supports posts, pages, and any custom post type (WooCommerce products, portfolio items, etc.) * **All unpublished statuses** — Drafts, pending review, scheduled, and private posts * **SEO safe** — Shared previews include a noindex/nofollow meta tag automatically, so search engines never index them * **Preview banner** — A clear “Draft preview” banner at the top of the page tells the reader the content is not published yet * **Expired link page** — Visitors see a clean, branded message when a link has expired instead of a confusing error * **Gutenberg & Classic** — Full sidebar panel in the block editor, classic meta box for older setups * **Quick share from posts list** — One-click share directly from your posts table, no need to open the editor * **Clean uninstall** — All data is removed from your database when the plugin is deleted #### Use cases * Share a formatted article with a client for approval before publishing * Let an external editor proofread a draft without creating a WordPress account * Preview scheduled content with your marketing team or stakeholders * Send a private post to a specific person without opening it to all logged-in users #### Privacy & security 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. ## Installation 1. Upload the `tidy-draft-share` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install directly from the WordPress plugin directory 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu 3. Edit any unpublished post and find the **Share Draft** panel in the editor sidebar 4. Click **Create share link**, choose an expiration, and share the URL You can also create share links directly from the **Posts** list without opening the editor. #### Configuration Head to **Settings Tidy Draft Share** to: * Set the default expiration for new links * Choose which post types support draft sharing ## FAQ ### Does the recipient need a WordPress account? No. Anyone with the link can view the post — that’s the whole point. No login, no account, no friction. ### What post types are supported? Posts and pages out of the box. You can enable any registered custom post type ( WooCommerce products, portfolio items, etc.) from the settings page. ### Can I create multiple links for the same post? Yes. Each link has its own expiration and view count. Handy when you want to share with different people and track access separately. ### What happens when a link expires? The visitor sees a clean “This link has expired” page with a link to your homepage. The post remains unpublished and untouched. ### Can I revoke a link before it expires? Yes. Click **Revoke** next to the link in the editor sidebar or meta box. Access stops immediately. ### Will shared drafts appear in Google? No. Every shared preview includes a `noindex, nofollow` meta tag. Search engines are instructed not to index the page. ### What happens if I publish the post while a share link is still active? Visitors who use the share link are automatically redirected to the published permalink. ### Does the plugin slow down my site? Not at all. The plugin only runs its logic when a share token is present in the URL. Regular visitors are completely unaffected. ### Is my data safe if I uninstall? When you delete the plugin through WordPress, all share link data and settings are removed from your database. Nothing is left behind. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Tidy Draft Share” is open source software. The following people have contributed to this plugin.
