Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

Public Preview URL Manager solves a classic WordPress challenge: letting external stakeholders, clients, or editors review content before it goes live, without forcing them to create a WordPress account.

Engineered with universal compatibility for all primary page builders and block frameworks—including Divi, Elementor, Gutenberg, Bricks, and Beaver Builder —this plugin elevates rendering capabilities seamlessly at the query layer. This guarantees your reviewers see the exact page layout, custom canvas layouts, sections, and modules exactly as they will appear after formal publication, regardless of their login status.

Core Features

  • Secure Cryptographic Tokens: Links are secured using time-sensitive hashes combined with unique security salts.
  • Instant Link Revocation: Revoke access to previously shared preview links and generate fresh ones on demand.
  • Quick List Table Actions: Copy active preview links directly from the posts/pages admin list table with a single click.
  • Universal Page Builder Support: Native abstraction layer built to eliminate unauthenticated template fallback errors and blank-page canvas bugs across all builders.
  • Modern Switch Toggle UX: A native, beautiful settings wrapper using modern CSS toggles to manage link expiration.
  • Never Expire Mode: Turn on an absolute “Never Expire” mode to keep links active until publication.
  • Auto-Redirect Lifecycles: When a draft transitions to Published, Private, or Password-Protected, external preview links run an instant structural 301 Moved Permanently redirect directly to the formal live permalink.
  • Custom Post Type (CPT) Ready: Automatically supports all public custom post types like Services, Products, Portfolios, or Case Studies.
  • Generated / Expires Timestamps: The sidebar preview box shows exactly when a link was generated and when it expires, in your site’s configured date and time format.
  • Active Preview Links Log: A dedicated, AJAX-paginated table on the Settings page lists every currently active preview link with its location, creation time, and expiry time.
  • Bulk & Single Link Regeneration: Revoke and regenerate one link, a selected batch, or every active link at once, directly from the log table.
  • No Database Bloat: Contains robust cleanup uninstallation loops that scrub choices, custom options, and variables cleanly if uninstalled.
