# Category Only Notifications ?

 * Hi,
 * **Nice plugin!**
 * Question: I can easily see where if I have a new post, that this will fire off
   a notification…however, is it possible to have it fire off a notification _ONLY_
   if a specific category has a new post ? And if so, how ? Or are we talking new
   functionality ????
 * Miles!

 * Hi magicmiles,
    Thanks for your message.
 * I’m currently about to start work on an add-on that does this very thing. I hope
   to have something out in the near future.
    If you want to stay in the loop about
   new add-ons, I recommend signing-up to the BNFW mailing list [here](http://voltronik.us2.list-manage2.com/subscribe?u=57c012217219b2d81dda0085f&id=28eebdab28).
 * Thanks and hope you continue to enjoy using the plugin.
    Jack

 * Hmmm….well that doesn’t help me out in the immediate. 🙁
 * That being the case I have to deactivate your plugin Jack. :-((((( I really like
   what it just did for me.
 * I’ll sign up for your list….and I hope that I get back to it.
 * But I have to deactivate the app.

 * While I’m at it, may as well make the request for Custom Post Types. Or does 
   it handle that as well….if it does, then I’m in business right now moving forward….

 * Hi Miles,
 * Yes, it does custom post types!
    Just make sure your CPTs are set to ‘public’
   and they should show up when choosing a notification.
 * Hope this helps.
 * Thanks,
    Jack
