Send mail when private page is updated

Hello @dogmadesign,

This can be done with some custom code:

//Send an email to the user when his private page was updated
function cpc_send_email_on_page_update($post_id) {
	$author_id = get_post_field('post_author', $post_id);

	$user = get_userdata($author_id);
	$to = $user->user_email;
	$site_name = get_bloginfo('name');

	$subject = '['.$site_name.'] Private page updated !';
	$message = 'Your private page was just updated !';

	wp_mail($to, $subject, $message);
}
add_action( 'save_post_private-page', 'cpc_send_email_on_page_update' );

Either add this inside the functions.php file from your theme or follow the instructions found at the top of this page.

If you changed the default slug of the private page, you need to change it on this line as well:
add_action( 'save_post_private-page', 'cpc_send_email_on_page_update' );

Replace private-page with it.

Let me know if this works.

Regards.

Unfortunately it is not working. I made a plugin and activated it, but when I change and save a private page, no e-mail is sent.

Hello @dogmadesign,

Send me a screenshot from Users -> Client Portal Settings.

Regards.

Click here for the screenshot.

This is in my plugin file:

Hello @dogmadesign,

Please open a support ticket on our website so we can pursue this further.

Regards.

Can you please share how you made this work?
I need this also!!!

Thank you!

I didn’t make it work. They asked me to open a support ticket and I did, but I never heard anything after that.

I got to work by adding the above custom code to the function.php in my theme.
Works great now!

Maybe it is because I used Themler to build the theme or because I use Visual Composer

Hello @dogmadesign,

I can’t find the ticket anymore. But I remember answering it myself. The code works as it is, it needs to be debugged on your website so we can find out why it breaks.

If you wish to open another ticket go ahead, just make sure you supply a correct email address that we can reply to.

@chuckglenn,
That’s all you have to do, add it to your website. I’m glad that it’s working.

Regards.

I tried with another theme and then it works fine. So there must be something in my theme causing a problem.

It was indeed a Themler thing. In Themler you cannot add code to the functions.php, but you have to add the code in the theme in Themler:

It is working great now!

Great that it’s working.

Regards.
