Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Notification - Custom Notifications and Alerts for WordPress

No 3rd-party plugins needed. The Notification plugin comes with a built-in logger — activate it in Settings > Debugging and you'll see all notification parameters in a log visible only to you.

First, check if WordPress sends any emails at all — try resetting your password. If that email doesn't arrive, the issue is your server configuration, not this plugin. Use any SMTP plugin to fix that. You can also activate the debug log in plugin settings to confirm whether the notification is being triggered.

Absolutely. The plugin has an intuitive visual interface in the WordPress Admin — no coding skills required. Developers get a powerful API on top of that, but it's entirely optional.

Create a new notification and select the Post Published trigger. Add an Email carrier and set the recipient type to Email/Merge Tag with the value {post_author_user_email}. Use merge tags like {post_title} in the subject and {post_permalink}, {post_publication_datetime} in the body.

WordPress doesn't send these by default — it's one of the most requested missing features. Create a notification with the Post Pending Review trigger. Set the recipient to the Role type and choose Editor (or Administrator). Use {post_title}, {post_author_user_display_name}, and {post_permalink} to build a useful message.

First, disable the default WordPress new user email in Notifications > Settings > Integrations. Then create a notification with the User Registered trigger. Set the recipient to Email/Merge Tag → {user_email}. Use {user_login}, {user_password_setup_link}, and {site_title} in the body to create your branded welcome message.

Create a notification with the User Login Failed trigger. Set the recipient to the Administrator role. Include {user_login}, {user_IP}, and {user_login_failed_datetime} in the body to see who tried to log in, from where, and when.

Use the Post Updated trigger. Set the recipient to the Administrator role (or any role/email you prefer). Include {post_title}, {post_permalink}, {post_updating_user_display_name}, and {post_revision_link} in the body to see what changed and who changed it.

Create two notifications — one with the Plugin Activated trigger and one with the Plugin Updated trigger. Use {plugin_name}, {plugin_version}, and {plugin_activation_date_time} in the message body. Similar triggers are also available for themes.

Create a notification with the User Role Changed trigger. Set the recipient to Email/Merge Tag → {user_email} so the affected user gets the notification. Use {user_display_name}, {old_role}, and {new_role} in the body.
