I was kinda expecting that would be the case, but wanted to run it by you anyway. Thanks for your willingness to help and respond in timely fashion.

I don’t think there are any other posts with that same post type. I did get this information from the developer yesterday. Hopefully this means more to you than it did me.

Series Engine doesn’t function as a typical CPT-based plugin, but uses its own proprietary code and database structure for its content. It does create a post for the enmse_message type when a new message is created, but it doesn’t rely on a hook to accomplish that that they could latch onto.

Thanks

I have not been able to get any information from the Series Engine developer yet as to what hook they are using to create their custom post types. They did tell me that the post type they create is “enmse_message”. I noticed that when I am in Better Notifications (with the Series Engine plugin activated), there are custom post type alert options for new “Message” post created, updated, etc. However, if I disable the Series Engine plugin and go back to the list of currently defined notifications in Better Notifications, the notification type shows ‘New enmse_message Published’ instead of ‘New Message Published’ as it was previously. If I then activate that plugin, this notification type changes back. I was wondering if that might provide any insight for you as to why the new post might not be getting triggered.

Thanks
Randy

I installed the Email Log plugin. After adding a new ‘message’ via Series Engine, I did not see an email go out for the “new ‘message’ published” notification that I set up. I did a test email from that notification to make sure I got it and I did in fact receive the test email. I then went and updated a WordPress page because I have a notification setup for “Updated page”. That email did go out and was logged in the Email log plugin. Looking at the Email log plugin, it had a system info button. I clicked on that and one of the things it lists is all the registered post types. The last one was ‘enmse_message’ and not just ‘message’. The notification type shows “New ‘Message’ Published’ without the leading enmse_ in case that is helpful for you.

Thanks

Thanks for the clarification.

Thanks for pointing out the obvious. I would have sworn that I had already turned that off a long time ago. Apparently not. Thanks again.

Yes, I should have mentioned that in my original post. I have re-enabled that setting so you can go to the link above now and see what it looks like. It does get the sidebar back to where it belongs, but it messes up the format of the Sermons display. It adds text of ‘Archive: Sermons’ at the top of the listing, scrunches the date and description together, and cuts off the Series, Date, Speaker, etc. if there is a description. As I mentioned before, you can look at the link again now to see for yourself. As a workaround, I created a page with these 2 shortcodes: [sermon_sort_fields] and [sermons per_page=”20″]. This formats properly, but for some reason the Service Type filtering does not work on that page. It does work on the …/sermons/ page when the Theme compatibility box is unchecked. It obviously does not work with it checked, because none of the filtering boxes are displayed.

Thanks for looking into this.

I think I may have misled you about the problem as I see it. There is no options in the External Media setup to supply the Secret Phrase that goes along with the Box Client ID. I believe this is necessary for auto authentication to happen. The only reason the link works the first time for me as I mentioned above is that I am already logged into Box because I was in the developer console setting up the Box App to get a Client ID. If I log out of Box.com after getting this Client ID and before trying to use the WordPress Media page, then Box requires that I enter user credentials. Isn’t the point of getting a Client ID / Secret phrase from the Box APP so that user credentials are not required each time you access Box from within WordPress Media?
