New post notification only on first publish

    Hi,

    I was doing some testing and noticed that notifications were firing when I published my custom post for the first time (as expected), but they were also firing if I unpublished a post, then re-published it.

    Is there a way to only fire the notification the first time the post is published? Otherwise people will get flooded with emails if you decide to un-publish/publish the post in the future.

    Thanks

    Hi okragly,
    Thanks for your message.

    Not currently, no. BNFW checks the post status transitions and if it moves between two set statuses (draft and publish, for example) then it will trigger the notification.
    Publishing-unpublishing-re-publishing isn’t a scenario I’ve come up against too often from users which would require BNFW to ‘track’ posts by assigning something to it (like a custom field) in the database then not firing notifications if the post has that custom field.

    Can you give me an example scenario where you would un-publishing and then re-publishing a post as opposed to just updating a post?

    Thanks,
    Jack
