Description

This plugin sends an email notification when a new post, page, or custom post type is published.

  • Targeted Notifications: Set different email recipients (BCC) for each post type.
  • Simple Interface: Manage recipients easily from the settings page, separated by Posts, Pages, and Custom Post Types.
  • Smart Sending: Notifications are only sent when BCC recipients are configured for that post type. The site administrator’s email is used as the “To” address.
  • First Publish Only: Emails are sent only on the first publication, not on subsequent updates.

This is perfect for notifying team members or stakeholders when new content goes live.

Installation

  1. Upload the post-publish-email-notifier folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
  3. Go to the “Post Notification System” menu in your WordPress dashboard to configure the recipient email addresses.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a separate SMTP plugin?

It’s not required, but highly recommended. For reliable email delivery, using an SMTP plugin like “WP Mail SMTP” and configuring SPF/DKIM records is the best practice.

Who receives the email?

The “To” address is the site’s admin email. The email addresses you configure on the settings page are added as “BCC”. If no BCC addresses are set for a post type, no email will be sent.
