It allows preview of a draft without being logged to the WordPress admin panel. Compatible with the Gutenberg and the Classic Editor. ### How it works Content created in WordPress from the moment a post or page is added, but before it is published, receives draft status. You can send the draft to someone else, but that person must have adequate access to the wp-admin section. The problem arises when we want to show a draft of the post to people who do not have access to our wp-admin panel. For this purpose, we have created the Post Draft Preview plugin. You can find full plugin description [here](https://wpserved.com/plugins/post-draft-preview/). ### Source files You can find plugin’s source files on our GitHub repo [page](https://github.com/wpserved/post-draft-preview). ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/2dcf25684af92bd5dd4ffbf025fe0c41b798e255e433fe4b382465121ba3092f? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Not visible in Gutenberg.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-visible-in-gutenberg/)󠁿 [kentaiwan98](https://profiles.wordpress.org/kentaiwan98/) May 11, 2025 Back to Lester Chan’s Drafts for Friends, which still works beautifully. This one only works in Classic Mode. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/2d4db04e10182c0e5ef86ebd81dc54e4778ebb28ad9fa23cfebace6125ede94d? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[No longer works at all.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-longer-works-at-all-3/)󠁿 [Tyler Tork](https://profiles.wordpress.org/tylertork/) March 20, 2025 The button to activate this tool is no longer visible in the blocks editor. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/9dfac6a8949b2cedca428ffc8a15fd373e5fb556ba95dde79870ff0c60d39340? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Best plugin of all of them offering this Preview Draft need to be solved](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/best-plugin-of-all-of-them-offering-this-preview-draft-need-to-be-solved/)󠁿 [Marcus Quinn](https://profiles.wordpress.org/surferking/) July 17, 2023 3 replies This is the best implementation compared to all the other existing older plugins saying they do this. I added a suggested patch and need to Support for enabling for Pages and Custom Post Types (CPTs). Please take a look at that, and let us know if you need any more info to solve. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc22228960a28916db3c01faa11de9fdf191b0ec9f6cc7e9e91fb14858043a93? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Very simple and useful plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/very-simple-and-useful-plugin-10/)󠁿 [Michał Kowalik](https://profiles.wordpress.org/klapaucius4/) May 24, 2022 This plugin was very helpful for me [ Read all 4 reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/post-draft-preview/reviews/) ## Contributors & Developers “Post Draft Preview” is open source software.
