New Private Post Published

Hi Jean-Philippe,
Thanks for your message.

Have you tried the ‘New Post Published’ notification?

Thanks,
Jack

Yes, but this only sends an email notification for a public post, not a private one.

I tried the ‘New Post Published’ notification setting on three different sites. Works perfectly well when post visibility is set to public but fails when post is privately published ??

Hi Jean-Philippe,
Thanks – just replied to your other thread. Now closing.

Thanks,
Jack

Hi Jack,

I opened 2 threads because it’s 2 different topics.

My previous thread ‘Missing Post Status Transition’ is about email notification when a post visibility change from Private to Public. It can be solved with the hook I provide you.

The current thread ‘New Private Post Published’ is about email notification when a private post is published. This thread is still not solved.

Let me know if I can be of any help.
Thanks,

Jean-Philippe

Hi Jean-Philippe,
Ah, I see.

In the case of BNFW – I try to make the the post status transitions ‘invisible’ to the end user. As such, I’ll probably include private_to_publish as part of the New Post Published notification as essentially, the post is being published.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
Jack

Hi Jack,

I think you didn’t understand what I meant, probably because English is not my first language, I’m sorry.

The hook I provide you yesterday (and tested on my end) on another thread:
add_action( 'private_to_publish' , array( $this, 'publish_post' ) );
is for when post visibility change from Private to Public. This thread is solved.

However, if someone wants to privately publish a post (therefore post visibility is set to Private) and be notified about this, then no email notification is sent. Am I clear enough or do you need further details?

Hi Jean-Philippe,
Ah, yes – thank you. I understand now!

I’ll consider adding it as a new notification type to a future version of BNFW.

Thanks,
Jack

Cool, looking forward to updating BNFW then ??
Thank you for the great support. Have a good one!

No probs!
If you liked the plugin and support, please feel free to leave an honest review.
