Subscriber and Token Management pro

Published on

Subscriber and token management is a Pro feature for private podcasts.

Open a private podcast and go to Private Podcasting.

User Access Tab

The User Access tab shows people who currently have, or previously had, private feed access.

Each token card can show:

  • Subscriber name.
  • Subscriber email.
  • Token selector.
  • Access source.
  • Status.
  • Feed access count.
  • Episode access count.
  • Created date.
  • Expiry date.
  • Last used date.

Generate Access Token

Use Generate Access Token to create a private feed link.

Recipient options:

  • Existing WordPress User: choose a registered user.
  • Guest Subscriber: enter name and email.

After generation, the plugin returns:

  • Private feed URL.
  • Private browser preview URL.

The plugin also sends a notification email when email delivery is available.

Token Statuses

Active

The token can access the private feed if it has not expired and has not reached usage limits.

Revoked

The token has been manually disabled.

Expired

The token expired based on the podcast access expiry setting.

Token Actions

Copy Feed URL

Copies the subscriber's private RSS URL. Send this only to the intended subscriber.

Preview URL

Opens the subscriber's private browser preview.

Regenerate

Creates a new token URL for the same subscriber and resets usage counters. Use this if the old URL was exposed or the subscriber needs a fresh link.

Revoke

Disables the token. Use this when a subscriber should no longer have access.

Reactivate

Re-enables a previously inactive token. If the token expired and the podcast has an expiry period, reactivation may refresh the expiry.

Delete

Deletes the token row and related per-episode usage rows. Use this when you no longer need the access record.

Rotate Active Tokens

Regenerates all active tokens for the podcast and sends updated notifications.

Use this after a broad leak or when you intentionally want every subscriber to receive a new URL.

Search and Pagination

The private access list can be searched by:

  • Name.
  • Email.
  • Token selector.
  • Source reference.

Use Load More to browse additional access records.

Email Notifications

The plugin sends email for:

  • Generated token.
  • Regenerated token.
  • Revoked token.

Emails are sent with WordPress wp_mail(). If users are not receiving messages, configure reliable SMTP or transactional email for WordPress.
