If you have any multi-user WordPress site that you administer, this post is for you. I run one particular wordpress blog that has another user who writes stories as a contributor. When he is done, he presses “submit for review” and by default, he would have to email me and tell me that there was a new posting that I need to review and publish. This is a bit clunky and inconvenient for both of us. Someone created a solution to this problem however.
There is a plugin called “WP Status Notifier“. The name is not very intuitive to the function but it solves the exact problem I mentioned. After you install and configure it, whenever one of your contributors pushes the “submit for review” button, you(the administrator) will receive and email notifying you that there is a new block post pending review for you to publish.
If you like the content on this site, please support it by using this link to order from Amazon. You know you were going to go there and buy stuff anyhow so why not help me pay the hosting bill.
Hello,
I have a question about the plugin. Does the plugin ony notify the admin if a contributor submits a post for review? Will this also notify if a editor or author submits a post for review? And one more question. Does this work with pages?
Thanks
Gene
I’m not sure. I have only used it to notify the admin when contributors submit normal blog posts for review. It’s a fairly small and unobtrusive plugin though so you could always give it a shot or try commenting here
