 * I’ve used this great plugin along side the ACF plugin on a couple sites to notify
   admins of new posts submitted via a front-end form, these posts have always been
   created as drafts and then published by the site admin from the dashboard.
 * This time though, I can’t get the plugin to send a notification if the front-
   end form is set to publish the post straight away. Works fine if posted as a 
   draft and then published laster from the dashboard.
 * Any ideas? Thanks!

 * Hi [@leanda](https://wordpress.org/support/users/leanda/),
    Thanks for your message.
 * That’s correct – there is no notification for ‘Publish to Publish’ posts / pages
   as they can cause conflicts with other plugins that immediately publish posts.
   If possible, continue using draft to publish as this will ensure that BNFW continues
   to work correctly.
 * Hope this helps.
 * Thanks,
    Jack

 * Thanks for the reply. That’s a shame, I’ll use wp_mail instead. I was hoping 
   to use your plugin because it’s a really nice way to allow non technical clients
   to edit the messages.
 * Thanks

 * Not a problem. If I find a way to make it work in the future, I’ll include it.
 * Thanks,
    Jack
