Possible to subscribe to new posts in CPT in custom taxonomy?

    I have a use case where we are going to have a custom post type, with custom taxonomies. There will be hundreds of terms in the taxonomy.

    Is there a way for users to include themselves into a subscription to a taxonomy? The intent would be that anytime a new post is published with that taxonomy, the user gets notified.

    I’m envisioning a “Subscribe to this taxonomy” link, or form, on the taxonomy archive page that the user can use to add themself.

    Is something like this within the realm of this plugin? I’ve been reading through the docs and support forum but haven’t understood if that use case is possible.

    This is possible with Subscribe2.

    You would need to allow ‘Membership’ on your WordPress site so that Subscribers can be classed as Registered within Subscribe2 and have access to the admin area so that their subscription can be set based upon taxonomies.

    If that is something you can work with you’d need to register the CPT and taxonomy in Subscribe2 using the API using the s2_post_types and s2_taxonomies hooks as documented here.

    Got it, this is very helpful and points me in the right direction.

    Thank you for the information!
