Send admin notification when a new post published - WordPress
In some WordPress sites, may there will be a chance for too many editors and authors. They can add and publish the content.
In such situation, I like to notify my admin about publishing a new post. If you like to do so, use the below code snippet.
function mquetr_notify_admin_on_publish( $new_status, $old_status, $post ) {
$post_type = 'your_post_type';
if ( $new_status !== 'publish' || $old_status === 'publish' )
return;
if ( ! $post_type = get_post_type_object( $post->post_type ) )
return;
// Recipient, in this case the administrator email
$emailto = get_option( 'admin_email' );
// Email subject, "New {post_type_label}"
$subject = 'New ' . $post_type->labels->singular_name;
// Email body
$message = 'View it: ' . get_permalink( $post->ID ) . "\nEdit it: " . get_edit_post_link( $post->ID );
wp_mail( $emailto, $subject, $message );
}
add_action( 'transition_post_status', 'mquetr_notify_admin_on_publish', 10, 3 );
