    Hi All,

    As the WP administrator i am happy to be notified when coments are made for me to check over….in fact it is essential!

    However, I also want to be notified via email (same as a comment notification) when Authors have created a new post. I have to do check for quality assurance purposes, spelling etc. I can’t wait for my Feed Reader to pick up a new notifcation as I do not always have access to my system and access my email via the web when I am away.

    Can this be done in WP2 as it is? Is there a plugin that enables this as a feature?

    Really need this feature!

    I’m also looking for this type of plugin, for the same reasons, but I’m curious how do you get notified through your feed reader?

    do you have your authors publish or just save as draft?

    thanks.

    Sorry…probably not using the correct terminology there. I use IntraVnews to collect my feeds within Outlook i.e. published posts, commnents once approved etc. However, I get my admin emails whenever anyone submits comments awaiting approval, new subscriptions etc. These are handled seperately within outlook when using intravnews.

    What i want is for email notifcation directly to me from the wordpress system when the authors make a post due to me not having constant access to the feed coming into outlook (as I do not always have my personal computer with me and use a webmail system). My regular email account in outlook doesn’t see the post notifications only IntraVnews does, even though it is within the outlook program and the webmail does not see the feed posts. It’s catch 22.

    Stillno responses on this. Hopefully, a feature in an upgrade.

    2nd question. I trust the authors and so i get them to publish. However, I always proof check everything once I get the ‘notification’ via IntraVnews. All of the authors only have access to their own posts and no others unlike myself at administrator level.

    One issue is that there will be some new authors soon who will be posting that I don’t neccessarily trust as much. I think I will be getting them to post a draft only, for me to publish when I’ve checked it. I’m not thrilled by this as it adds to my work load to a degree, but it is neccessary in my case….instructions from above.

    Hope this helps.
