Public Access

This feature allows you to embed the content on your WordPress site pages or posts in a way users can access the content anonymously or without the need to login into wordpress site.

 

Why?

Embedding the content as public access can allow users to access the content without the need of logging into the WordPress site pages.

 

Solution

Our Embed SharePoint OneDrive Documents plugin for WordPress provides the Public access for the embedded content feature. Using the plugin, you’ll be able to generate the shortcode for the public access and allow end users to access the content anonymously.
