As this plugin looks like it’s no longer supported, I took a look and found something similar can be done without a plugin: https://www.janes.co.za/embed-latest-video-from-channel/

Same here! Any update?

This is how a developer I work with was able to get the plugin working with a custom post type we created:

Line 77 ($category = get_the_category( $post_id );) in db_notification.php was commented out and replaced with $category = get_the_terms( $post_id, ‘category’ );. The get_the_category function does not work with CPT’s and get_the_terms is universal.
    CPT args included the following: ‘taxonomies’ => array('post_tag', 'category')
    Since the plugin only works when a category is assigned, the taxonomy 'category' was added to the CPT blog. Posts have a default category of ‘unassigned’ which is why it works with the plugin so I added an action for when posts are saved to add the category ‘unassigned’ if a category isn't assigned.

add_action( 'save_post', 'set_default_category' ); function set_default_category( $post_id ) {
 // Get the terms
$terms = wp_get_post_terms( $post_id, ‘category'); 

 // Only set default
if no terms are set yet if (!$terms) {
 // Assign the default category $taxonomy = ‘category';
 wp_set_object_terms( $post_id, 1, $taxonomy );
 }
 }

Please let me know if you have any questions and if similar functionality will be included in a plugin update. Thank you!

In the settings I don’t see anything to use a custom post type. It seems by default notifications work for the default blog post type of ‘post’ and I don’t see settings to choose a custom post type instead. My blog instead is using a custom post type with custom fields as well.

So custom post types are not supported? Any idea how I’d be able to modify the plugin to send a notification for a new entry of a custom post type with custom fields?

Not sure if it will fulfill your requirements, but you can use the chart editor and easily embed HTML in post/page:

Found the issue.

Just read Theme Development:

A theme can optionally use a functions file, which resides in the theme subdirectory and is named functions.php. This file basically acts like a plugin, and if it is present in the theme you are using, it is automatically loaded during WordPress initialization (both for admin pages and external pages).

I won’t be editing any more core files. I added a functions.php with the code in my theme directory and I’m good to go ??
