Guttenberg Editor

Oh well actually it is big deal, because Postnotif 1.5 is not longer working with Guttenberg.

I do not understand fully what is going on with Guttenberg, because suddenly post-notif is back to work, using the WordPress-Backend. Maybe it was just me doing something wrong to schedule new posts with Mobile-App. But still, you can’t adjust notif-settings in Editor anymore.

Hi rh0,

Thanks for the heads-up regarding the Gutenberg (in)compatibility. I have chosen to focus on Post Notif’s successor, built from the start to work with Gutenberg, so the existing plugin has admittedly been neglected (not to mention version 1.1.5 which, by definition, is frozen in amber, being a past version as it is ?? ).

I’ll admit I’m somewhat conflicted as to how best to proceed, since I do not presently have the bandwidth to simultaneously work on Post Notif itself AND its replacement. In all likelihood, the existing Post Notif will remain non-compatible with Gutenberg. I know this is not what you (and probably many others) want to hear and for that I apologize. I hope you are able to get what you need from it, as it “works” now, or, if not, are able to find another one of the solid post notification plugin options out there to better suit your needs.

Thanks,
Devon

Hi Devon,

of course it makes no sense to make already outdated 1.1.5 compatible to Guttenberg.

I have to confess because of the _now_ inconsistent behavior of the Plugin at it‘s current state I switched Plugin to something which is approved to work with Guttenberg as well. Sorry for…

This does not mean I not with testing your upcoming Successor. I am still on board. ??

Hi Ruediger,

I appreciate your understanding and willingness to test even though you’ve moved on from Post Notif. You have zero reason to apologize for switching to another plugin that better suits your needs! I am glad to hear you have found something that works for your situation – that’s the beauty of WordPress (and open source software overall) – freedom of choice and a lot of alternatives to choose from.

Take care,
Devon

Hi Devon,

Do I understand that Post Notif is not compatible with Gutenberg / WP 5.0? As you may know, I still use version 1.1.5 because of problems with version 1.3. But if those problems continue and it does not work together with Gutenberg, I will have to switch to another plugin. Unfortunately, because I like Post Notif.

Regards,

Theo

Hi Theo,

Yes, you are correct – Post Notif is not going to be upgraded to address any plugin-related changes necessitated by WordPress 5.0.

As you probably saw, in my pinned note, I am 3/4 of the way through my couple of months away from WordPress, so I have no definitive statement right now about whether the future contains a Post Notif “v2”.

I am sorry that this likely means you’ll need to find another post notification plugin, particularly since it has been working well for you, according to your complimentary comments and patience about/with Post Notif, despite its shortcomings.

Sorry for the hassle,
Devon

Hi Devon,

I’ve made a decision. I’m using another plugin now.

Thanks for your efforts and wish you all the best for the future.

Regards,

Theo

hi Devon – i’m wondering if, off the top of your head, you might be able to recommend a good plugin or two to replace yours

i’m searching through them and have not been able to find one that is maintained and written by an ethical developer

cancel that request – after hours of searching i think i answered my own question: there aren’t any! ??

i’m going to continue to use PN with the hope that v2 will become reality (and that the Guten-Blocks-whatever editor, which seems to be the cause of a lot of fuss, gets a stake driven through its heart)

i find it hard to understand how anything as widely detested (given its ratings) as Blocks gets pushed into the core, but i’m betting there’s $$$ involved

Hi werdpres,

Again, thanks very much for your compliments about Post Notif! I am reserving judgment on Gutenberg, as I have admittedly not spent much time at all experimenting with it. But, I do know there are a lot of people who would prefer to leave the editor as-is, since it is familiar and suits their needs.

Thanks,
Devon

Hello! There are two issues I am having with the plugin as it is now, with WordPress 5.1…
1. Notifications are set to be sent automatically. And works fine.
But if an update is made, a new notificiation is sent TWICE.
2. I set notifications to be sent MANUALLY, but I don’t see the option anywere to finally send a notifications when desired.

THANKS! Any insights to if this will be resolved?

Hi Heather,

I wish I had an answer for you but I have not had much appetite for going deep on Gutenberg. I do not like what I’ve seen from it so far and have installed the Classic Editor plugin so I can keep (very) sporadically blogging myself.

I have no plans, at the present, to build Gutenberg compatibility in to Post Notif so I’d suggest you consider an alternative post notification plugin that does support it.

Sorry,
Devon
