Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Public Post Preview

The checkbox is only available for non-published posts and once a post was saved as a draft.

The plugin generates an URL with an expiring nonce. By default a link "lives" 48 hours. After 48 hours the link is expired and you need to copy and share a new link which is automatically generated on the same place under the editor.

Yes, of course. Go to Settings > Reading > Public Post Preview and increase the Expiration Time setting. You can also use the filter ppp_nonce_life. Example for 5 days: add_filter( 'ppp_nonce_life', 'my_nonce_life' ); function my_nonce_life() { return 5 * DAY_IN_SECONDS; } Note: The setting UI is not visible if the filter is used.

Preview pages are sent with headers that tell browsers, proxies and CDNs not to cache them. Some caching setups ignore these headers, for example a CDN rule that caches every page, such as "Cache Everything" on Cloudflare, or a page cache that also caches URLs with query strings. Exclude URLs containing the _ppp parameter from your cache to fix this.
