Private Post Share

Share a link to anonymous users to view private and password protected posts (or any other public post type). This plugin generates secret URLs (similar to Google Docs and other cloud services) for posts so you can share them with not-logged in users without having to share an extra password with them. For bug reports, security vulnerabilities, feature requests please visit the GitHub repository.

Note: There will be NO settings page. For an automatic installation through WordPress:

1. Go to the 'Add New' plugins screen in your WordPress admin area
2. Search for 'Public Post Preview'
3. Click 'Install Now' and activate the plugin

For a manual installation via FTP:

1. Upload the public-post-preview directory to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' screen in your WordPress admin area

To upload the plugin through WordPress, instead of FTP:

1. Upload the downloaded zip file on the 'Add New' plugins screen (see the 'Upload' tab) in your WordPress admin area and activate.

== Installation == This section describes how to install the plugin and get it working. e.g.

1. Upload the plugin files to the /wp-content/plugins/sharable-password-protected-posts directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' screen in WordPress

2.0.0 (2025-08-11): New Name & Structure This is a major release with breaking changes. These breaking changes are only important for developers extending this plugin or using the plugins functions. If you are just using the plugin, you are fine and nothing will change for you. The old plugins name was a mouth full, so we changed it to better reflect what it does. The old name was Sharable Password Protected Posts and the new name is Private Post Share.

• Breaking: New plugin structure and namespace
• The plugin has been moved to a new namespace called Private_Post_Share
• All hooks are prefixed with private_post_share/
• Meta keys and query var stay the same _spp prefix for backwards compatibility
• Plugin slug and textdomain stays sharable-password-protected-posts (for WP.org repository)
• Breaking: Update required PHP version to 8.1 and WP 6.7
• Dev: Add code quality tools and GitHub Actions for them
• Dev: Add automated tests via Codeception
