    I am able to successfully send notifications when I create a new ‘post’ or ‘page’, but when I set a notification for my custom post type ‘bulletin’ (which is set to public and appears as an option in the notification dropdown list) – nothing comes through. I have checked all my email folders, including Spam.

    Can someone help me resolve? Thanks!

    Hi splendasaurus,
    Thanks for your message.

    Can you install the Email Log plugin and re-test? If it’s logged in their but you’re not receiving it, it’s possible that it’s being picked up by the server for some reason.

    Let me know how you get on.

    Thanks,
    Jack

    Great idea! I did as you instructed and it logged the notification email being sent out. However, I never received the email in my inbox. Any ideas?

    Thanks for your speedy reply πŸ™‚

    Hi splendasaurus,
    It sounds like it’s being caught by your server – possibly as spam. Are you able to change the content to something more simple just to test with and then slowly add content / shortcodes back in until you find what might be causing the problem?

    You can start by just typing something in the subject and body fields to start with.

    Thanks,
    Jack

    Not a problem!
    If you like the plugin, please feel free to leave an honest review.

    Thanks,

    We experience a problem with your plugin, this is our test site http://03-gbville.4thshift.co/

    We have a custom post type called meet and greet, which is related to a user as part of their profile. This is how the site works, when a user is sign up and login for the first time s/he will be redirected into a page(http://03-gbville.4thshift.co/provisioning/) with form which the information for the said post type is collected, the form content is submitted via ajax, the post/data/form content is submitted and inserted successfully to our db.

    I have set a notification(to be send to admin which is me) using your plugin which will trigger once a post is published, the problem is I didn’t receive any email even if I tried to create new post(wp default post) or new item on the custom post we have. But when I change the notification trigger to be send once a post is updated, that’s the time your plugin works and send me an email.

    I think you can help me with this a lot.

    Thanks in advance and God bless.

    Hi gabbyville,
    There’s a filter that was introduced int he latest version of the plugin that might help with situations where the theme is directly inserted the post into the database without passing it through any of wordpress’s post statuses, which I think is what is happening to you.

    Please see the bottom of the FAQ on details of how to add this.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks,
    Jack

    function bnfw_insert_post_hook_for_theme( $themes ) {
    $themes[] = ‘VozX Child’;
    return $themes;
    }
    add_filter( ‘bnfw_insert_post_themes’, ‘bnfw_insert_post_hook_for_theme’ );

    I used the code above but, didn’t work. I also notice that no notification is send even when I try to change the notification trigger( form trigger when new post is published to trigger when post is edited).

    What should I do is there something wrong in my code?

    Hi gabbyville,
    Are you using a front-end form to both create AND edit your posts?

    Jack

    Hi voltronik;

    Yes, they are custom form, which saves data via ajax. I also use the WP back end to submit or edit a custom post, but no luck no email is being sent.

    Thanks

    Hi gabbyville,
    Can you confirm that you’ve set-up a notification for the custom post type that you’re using and not a notification for the regular, built-in post type?
    If your post type is called ‘Movies’ for example, then you’ll need to create a “‘Movie’ Updated” notification.

    Does your theme send out any notifications itself – i.e. ones that aren’t controlled via BNFW?

    Jack

    Hello voltronik;

    Yes I already set up a notification for that particular custom post type, the trigger I created on the notification is when a new post is published and when a post has been edited(the post type is “Meet and Greet”).

    I also have a email notification on sign up/registration I used “Theme My Login” for that part.

    The only problem I have with your plugin is no email notification is sending when I do the two(add and edit post on particular custom post type) trigger I created on your plugin. Even if I am using the add or edit on the WP back end, no email is sending.

    Thanks

    Hello voltronik;

    It’s working now on my custom post type “Update via AJAX” after I update the plugin, but the sad part is that the add new notification is not working.

    Thanks

    Hi gabbyville,
    Can you make your way through this help document?
    I imagine that the problem is with your theme as opposed to with BNFW.

    Let me know how you get on.

    Jack
