New Custom post type notification sending emails on update not just published

Hi @thynccreative,
Thanks for your message.

How are you creating your new custom posts? Is it via the WordPress Admin or another method?

With regards to the labelling of the ‘New Custom Post Type’ notification, I’m going to make sure it says ‘Published’ at the end in the next version for more consistency between notifications.

Thanks,
Jack

Hi Jack,

Sorry yes I am creating the custom posts via the WP-Admin.

Thanks,
Michael.

Hi @thynccreative,
I’ve just tested and can’t replicate your issue.

It could be potential plugin or theme conflict. Please can you make your way through this document and let me know how you get on?

Thanks,
Jack

Hi Jack,

If I disable advanced custom fields pro – it works, but when enabled it emails for every update.

Thanks,
Michael.

Hi Jack,

It’s if the post type has any custom fields associated with it using the ACF plugin.

Thanks,
Michael

Hi @thynccreative,
Thanks for the additional information.

I’m going to do some investigation and let you know what I find.

Thanks,
Jack

I can verify that I have the same issue with the latest version. I also use Custom Fields Pro, so something is broken.

Sadly it sends notifications also on scheduled posts so NDA articles are sadly spread. We have shut down this plugin until the issue has been resolved.

this message just to be notified on follow-up answers – sorry

Same issue here, also with ACF Pro enabled.

Same issue here, also with ACF Pro enabled, but I do not know what ACF is involved in this issue

Look This!!!!! log image

Log

Postman log

So CRASY

How Can I do a downgrade version of the plugin?

Same issue with ACF Pro. You can download previous versions of the plugin here: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/bnfw/developers/

What I have done now, is to download 1.6.2, and write 1.6.3 in the code, so it dont get updated by mistake, and then I hope 1.6.4 will solve the issue, but I think the developer is very quiet.
