Include draft posts

Hi taoski,

Thanks and glad you find the plugin useful. A permalink slug isn’t actually reserved for posts until they’re scheduled or published since they’re generated based on the final title. Inserting links for draft posts would likely lead to broken links for most people.

It’s an interesting idea and if the permalink is manually set while in draft state, it might work, so I’ll give it a little consideration next time I get a chance to work on the plugin.

Thanks,
Brady

Hi Brady

I have a similar request. I use the private publication setting to prepare a batch of related posts before making them public. It would e useful if I could cross-link between them ore easily. (But it’s not a big issue and in the meantime I can use the scheduled publication settings).

Thanks for a really useful plugin.

Hi Andy,

Private posts reserve a slug for a permalink, so that should be doable. I pushed an update to GitHub that includes support if you’d like to download it from there: https://github.com/bradyvercher/better-internal-link-search

Cheers,

Wow, thank you.
