Delayed notification after status change

Hello,

you can avoid that by setting the postmeta “npn_notified” to “1”.

Posts with this postmeta attached will never fire a mail. This postmeta is attached automatically when first publishing the post and prevents wordpress from fireing more emails if you change the post later.

Posts published prior to plugin-activation need to get the postmeta attached manually.

Kind regards…

Thank you for your explanation. But I cannot see how to do it besides I apply sql and phpmyadmin.

Make sure you display “Custom_Fields” on your Edit-Page (for posts in the backend).

There you can add a new field. “npn_notified” should be already in the dropdown. Set the value to 1 and click add.

Thank you, this is a very nice and important feature.
A wish for the future: it would be very comfotable to have a quick edition or mass edition for setting notififaction.

After some month I forgot this custom field and slight changes of a lot of old posts fired the notification as new ones. I suggest following additional test for mail notification in the line 62:
… AND ( $_POST[‘original_post_status’] != ‘publish’ )
If now some author wants to send notification mail after changing post he/she can set it to draft and then again to publish.
