Notification sent for previous post

    Every time I post a new topic, the notification sent out is for the previous topic. For example, if I post a message with the subject “Topic 1” then post another with a topic of “Topic 2”, the notification sent out is for “Topic 1”. It appears that something is out of sync between the topic reference and the notification.

    Hi Mark,

    It sounds like you have background notifications turned on. This is a good thing, because if you have a large number of users set to receive notifications, you will end up getting a 503 timeout error without it.

    The background notifications option creates a scheduled task using WordPress’ cron system. It will get triggered the next time that someone accesses the site. Because you are likely the one accessing the site during your tests, you’ll see the scheduled task for the previous test getting sent out.

    If you’d like to get the background notifications (or any wp cron job, for that matter) running without needing people to visit the site, please reach out to your host for instructions on how to enable a real cron job for WordPress. There are lots of tutorials, but it varies a bit from host to host.

    Here’s an example: https://www.siteground.com/tutorials/wordpress/real-cron-job

    Cheers,
    Vinny
