Awesome Plugin

Does the work as it is advertised. Thanks for this good plugin.

What Happened?!

The preview links no longer work. Users are forced to log in when using the public preview link – defeating the entire purpose of this plugin. This used to be a must-have plugin. Unless you fix this,

Handy Add On! 🌟

Have a small team of authors? Writing influencer content for a company? This plugin comes in handy all the time to increase the expiration limit.

Should be integrated in the original plugin ! 😀

Good add-on for a good plugin

The Public Post Preview plugin is almost perfect, but I miss a configuration interface. This plugin adds a UI. Great!
