Erdo Draft Links – Share Drafts, Client Preview, Secure Link

Erdo Draft Links lets you generate a secure, token-based URL for any draft, private, or published post or page. Share it with clients, reviewers, or collaborators — they can read the content without needing a WordPress account.

Think of it like Google Docs’ “Anyone with the link can view” — but for WordPress.

How it works

• Open any post or page in the editor (Block Editor or Classic Editor).

• Click “Generate Draft Link” in the sidebar panel or meta box.

• Choose an expiry: 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, never, or a custom date & time.

• Share the link. Recipients can view the content — no login needed.

Features

• Works with both the Block Editor (Gutenberg) and the Classic Editor

• Supports posts, pages, and any custom post type — toggle them on in Tools → Erdo Draft Links → Settings, or via a filter for developers

• Multiple labeled links per post — e.g. “Client A” and “Designer”, each with its own expiry, revocable independently

• WP-CLI support — wp erdo-draft-links generate|revoke|list for scripting and automation

• Secure 32-character cryptographic tokens — brute-force resistant

• Configurable expiry: 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, no expiry, or a custom date & time

• View count tracking per link, with an email notification the first time a link is opened

• Visitors can leave name + feedback on the preview — collected in a “Feedback” tab in the admin and emailed to you

• Reply to feedback directly from the admin — visitors see your reply the next time they open the preview

• Revoke any link at any time

• Tokens are stored hashed in the database — raw tokens are never stored after the redirect

• Two-step flow: token URL → cookie → clean permalink (token never appears in browser history)

• No external API calls, no phone-home, no subscriptions

• Translation-ready (English default, Turkish included)

Developer Notes

Developers can add support for custom post types using the erdo_draft_links_supported_post_types filter:

add_filter( 'erdo_draft_links_supported_post_types', function( $types ) { $types[] = 'product'; return $types; } );
