Publicize Does Not Work

Disconnected and reconnected.

Those first two articles referenced were scheduled prior to 4.2. The last two articles were scheduled under 4.2.

I have a plugin I wrote that hooks scheduled to publish posts to send the author an email that their post has been published. I also give contributors the ability to upload media (otherwise disabled), as well as edit their own published posts – also normally disabled. There’s a few other things in there for email notices.

Here it is to make things clearer.

I’ll give it a shot. I have another post setup for Sunday morning, so I’ll give an update then.
