Frequently asked questions
What is the allowed expiration time range?
You can set the expiration time between 1 minute (minimum) and 43200 minutes (30 days maximum).
Does this work without Public Post Preview installed?
No, this plugin extends the Public Post Preview plugin, so it must be installed and activated first.
Does this work on Multisite?
The expiration setting applies network-wide to every site’s Public Post Preview links, since it filters a shared nonce lifetime. It has not been extensively tested in multisite environments; use with that in mind.
