Awesome!! Seems to work great now, thanks so much.

ALSO – in case there is any confusion – when referring to acf form or acf front-end form, I’m talking about the great Advanced Custom Fields plugin and its fantastic acf_form function:

http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/using-acf_form-to-create-a-new-post/

See, that’s what I was thinking too, but I already had a notification set up for post updates (specifically, “Work Instruction” updates), but it wasn’t triggering that notification either. I just re-tried it to make sure.

Also, The “Work Instruction” updates notification sends if the update is made on the site back-end, but not if the update is made on the front-end acf form…at first, I just thought the plugin wasn’t compatible with acf front-end forms, but if a post is created on the front-end, it send out the “Work Instruction” pending notification no problem.

So, really, I have two problems – notifications not sending when a post status is changed (from Pending to Published) and post update notifications are not sending from the acf front-end form, even though other notifications do work

any thoughts on this? if the answer is in that link that samboll posted, I just don’t see it, can somebody please explain?

hmmm.. thanks for the link, but I had already read this. this seems to only be relevant to using the_content(); with a more quicktag. I need to use the_excerpt(); so it’ll be automatic. I don’t want the client accidentally leaving out a quicktag and breaking my layout.
