Securely Share WordPress Draft Pages Without Creating User Accounts

Securely Share WordPress Draft Pages Without Creating User Accounts

One of the most common challenges with managing a WordPress website is getting feedback on content before it is published.

Whether you’re reviewing a new web page, blog post, landing page, or custom content, you often need input from marketing teams, executives, legal departments, clients, or other stakeholders. Unfortunately, WordPress doesn’t make this easy.

The typical options all have drawbacks:

  • Publish the page before it’s approved.
  • Create temporary WordPress accounts for reviewers.
  • Walk reviewers through the login process.
  • Share screenshots or PDFs that don’t accurately represent the live page.

None of these are ideal.

A Better Way to Review Unpublished Content

To solve this problem, AZTANDC developed the Client Preview Links plugin for WordPress.

The plugin allows editors to generate a secure preview link for unpublished content and share it with anyone who needs to review it.

Reviewers simply click the link and view the page in their browser — no WordPress account, login, or technical knowledge required.

The content remains unpublished and under your control until you’re ready to make it live.

Supported Content

The plugin can generate secure preview links for:

  • Draft pages and posts
  • Pending Review content
  • Scheduled future content
  • Private pages and posts
  • Custom Post Types

How It Works

Using the plugin takes only a few seconds.

  1. Create or edit your content as usual.
  2. Generate a secure preview link.
  3. Optionally set an expiration date for the link.
  4. Send the link to anyone who needs to review the content.

For example:

https://www.yoursite.com/about-us/?cp=AB123

The reviewer simply opens the link and sees the unpublished page exactly as it will appear when published.

If the preview link expires or is disabled, access is automatically denied.

Why Organizations Use It

The Client Preview Links plugin simplifies collaboration while maintaining security.

Benefits include:

  • No temporary WordPress accounts
  • No passwords to manage
  • No publishing content before approval
  • Faster review cycles
  • Easier collaboration with clients and stakeholders
  • Secure, time-limited preview links
  • Content remains unpublished until approved

Ideal For

The plugin is especially valuable for:

  • Marketing teams
  • Law firms
  • Healthcare organizations
  • Financial institutions
  • Corporate communications teams
  • Universities
  • Government agencies
  • Digital agencies
  • Any organization with an approval workflow

Built for Real-World WordPress Workflows

The Client Preview Links plugin was designed around how organizations actually create and approve content.

Instead of forcing reviewers to learn WordPress or request access, editors can securely share content in seconds while maintaining complete control over who can view it and for how long.

It’s a simple solution that removes unnecessary friction from the content review process.
