Email Post Changes (original) (raw)

Each time a change is made to a post or page, those changes are emailed to the users and email addresses you specify.

Optionally, you can set what types of changes to email (post changes, page changes, attachment changes, or changes
to any other ‘post type’ defined by any other plugin).

The changes are emailed as a unified diff. If the email client supports HTML emails, the diff will be colorized.

After uploading and activating the plugin, go to Settings -> Email Post Changes to set up the plugin.

You can change what email addresses to use and for what post types you want change notifications.

This plugin used to work, but it hasn’t been updated in nearly a decade, and it doesn’t work with newer versions of WordPress. A question about ongoing development went unanswered, so I guess that’s all the answer you need. This plugin is dead.

It ’s hard to imagine that the plug-in 6 years ago is still available!Thank you so much!

Email notfication on updating a specific post is what I need. In the GUI I cannot configure the ID of a specific post where I need the alert so I had to adapt the code. This works for me, now.

Nice work and also fulfilled my requirement.

This plugin has near no settings – you can only select e-mails to which an e-mail will be sent after any post/page change. That’s all.

I have it only enabled on a custom post type. Tried several times…nothing. Really wanted it to work. :/
