Share a temporary preview link for unpublished content.
Enable a public preview
- Save the post as a draft (or another non-published status). The control is not available on published posts.
- In the block editor document settings (or Preview menu on WordPress 6.7+), enable Public preview.
- Copy the generated link and share it.
To disable, turn the control off. Publishing or certain status changes also unregister the preview.
Expiration
By default, preview links expire after a site-wide window (PRC default is 45 days when the Reading setting is unset). Admins can change the default under Settings → Reading → Public Post Preview (shown in days, max 90).
Editors can set a per-post expiration (days) override in the preview UI. That writes _ppp_expiration_hours (capped at 90 days). After a link expires, enable preview again (or refresh the control) to copy a new URL.
Find posts with public preview
Post list tables show a public-preview state indicator and a filtered list view for posts that currently have public preview enabled.
