Email Post Notification Not Being Sent Out When Custom Role Publishes Post

I too was thinking this must be a role/capability issue.

The CPT is all scripted. Not created by a plugin. The role was created through a plugin.

Under the CPT is have ‘capability_type’ => array(‘team-post’,’team-posts’)

And under the role I have given access to edit_team-posts, delete_team-posts, publish_team-posts, delete_published_team-posts, edit_published_team-posts.

As I dig through this plugin I have located a tab called Notifications. It includes bnfw(your plugin) the capability for this custom role is not ticked. I suspect this is my issue. I will tick and confirm but if you have any additional feedback please let me know.

I have just completed my testing. In the custom role, now with the notifications box checked to grant access to your plugin, using the User Switching plugin I have changed to a User in that custom role. I published a post and NO email notification was sent. I switched back to my admin user role, published a new post and YES, a email notification was sent.

I was really hoping that the issue was just setting the capability for that role to allow for notifications but after testing it seams the issue may be greater.

I look forward to your response and feedback.

Thank You.

I just published a test post in my CPT as an Author/Role and I did not get a notification using that role.

Yes, it is set to public and I will research further into Custom Roles and post what I discover. Please do the same.
