Here’s an example modified from the example on the Codex for the save_post hook:
<?php
function erfans_new_post_email( $post_id ) {
// If this is just a revision, don't send the email.
if ( wp_is_post_revision( $post_id ) )
return;
$category = 'x'; // Category ID, name or slug. You can use an array to pass more than one Category
if ( !in_category ( $category, $post_id ) ) // If the post is not in your required category/s
return;
$post_title = get_the_title( $post_id );
$post_url = get_permalink( $post_id );
$subject = 'A post has been updated';
$message = "A post has been updated on your website:\n\n"; // You can edit the message body using content from the post
$message .= $post_title . ": " . $post_url;
// Send email to specific address.
wp_mail( 'erfan@example.com', $subject, $message ); // The email address you wish to send to
}
add_action( 'save_post', 'erfans_new_post_email' );
?>
tnx. but i want to send mail when it published, not when it’s state is ‘pending’.

OK, so you’ll need to add a conditional line to check the post status. You should use get_post_status. See if you can work out how to use it. Report back here if you get stuck.
I used this:
function post_published( $new_status, $old_status, $post ) {
if ( $old_status != 'publish' && $new_status == 'publish' ) {
// Post is published
$category = array('3','4','5','6','7','8'); // Category ID, name or slug. You can use an array to pass more than one Category
if ( !in_category ( $category, $post ) ) // If the post is not in your required category/s
return;
wp_mail( $to, $subject, $message ); // The email address you wish to send to
}
}
add_action( 'transition_post_status', 'post_published', 10, 3 );
It works!
Thank You hiphopinenglish !
