Manage Magic Links in the WordPress Admin

Need to see, copy, or clean up the passwordless login links on your site? The Magic Links page under Magic Link → Magic Links lists every link with its user, status, and expiry, gives each row a Copy button, and lets you create new links and run bulk actions. The list table and the Delete bulk action are free.

The Magic Links list table under Magic Link → Magic Links is the central place to manage every passwordless login link on your site. Each row tracks one link so you can review and act on it.

Column Shows
User The account the link signs in.
Status Whether the link is active, used, or expired.
Expiry When the link stops working.
IP The IP address associated with the link.

Each row has a Copy button so you can grab a link quickly and send it.

  1. Go to Magic Link → Magic Links in the WordPress admin.
  2. Use the Create Magic Link form to select the user you want a link for.
  3. Submit the form to generate the link.
  4. Copy the link with the per-row Copy button and send it to the user.

You can also generate a link straight from the Users → All Users screen. See Create a Magic Link for a user.

Bulk actions

Select one or more links in the table, choose an action from the Bulk actions menu, and click Apply.

PRO feature

The Mark as Used and Expire bulk actions require Magic Link PRO. The Delete bulk action is free — see Bulk delete Magic Links.

To invalidate every active link for a specific user, go to Users → All Users. Each user row action and the Users Bulk actions menu include Revoke Magic Links, which invalidates that user's active links at once. Revoking links is free.

Conclusion

The Magic Links admin page is where you review, copy, create, and clean up passwordless login links across your site. Use the free Delete bulk action and per-user Revoke Magic Links to keep the list tidy, and upgrade to PRO for the Mark as Used and Expire actions. To hand a link to a single user, see Create a Magic Link for a user.
