Configuring\u00a0Automatic Email Notifications<\/h2>\n
The Email Post Changes plugin allows you set up automatic emails so that each time a change is made to a post or page, those changes are emailed to the users and email addresses you specify.<\/p>\n
Download Email Post Changes<\/a>\u00a0from the WordPress Plugin Repository. Install and activate the plugin.<\/p>\n Now, go to Settings > Email Post Changes<\/strong> to configure the plugin. Below that, you will find a list of email addresses that you want any\u00a0notifications sent to. Generally, I would\u00a0recommend only adding admin email addresses to this field.<\/p>\n If you check your personal email address more often than the email associated with the WordPress website, you can add email addresses that aren\u2019t associated with website\u00a0account. This will ensure you get notified more quickly.<\/p>\n Finally, select whether\u00a0you want to\u00a0be\u00a0notified for only post modifications, page modifications or both.<\/p>\n The last option is if you want email notifications for only published items or also for items saved as drafts. Check this option if you want to avoid spam or have strict quality control guidelines.<\/p>\n For example, if you\u2019ve edited and scheduled an article by a contributing author to be published on a specific day and the contributor logs in and make changes that you haven’t approved, if you’ve ticked this box you will receive an email alerting you to the fact the post has been altered. If you leave this box unchecked, the post would be published \u2013 complete with unapproved changes \u2013 and you would be none the wiser.<\/p>\n After you click “Save Changes” you will start receiving emails whenever modifications are made to posts or pages. The notifications will include the name of the author and the time the changes were made.\u00a0A neat feature is that you will also\u00a0see two versions of the post \u2013 a version before the changes and a version after the changes, with the changes highlighted.<\/p>\n WordPress allows for post revisions, an in-built feature that automatically saves a post every 60 seconds. Every time a new auto-save happens, the old auto-save is replaced with the new one. Not to confuse this with drafts, this auto-save feature comes handy if your computer suddenly crashes or you forgot to save your\u00a0draft.<\/p>\n You can see the number of revisions for each post on the post\/page edit screen. Click the browse button besides the number of revisions.<\/p>\n A screen comparing the latest revisions will show along with a scrollbar on the top. Use the next button to navigate between the revisions. The name of the author who made the changes, at what time and if the revision is an auto-save or a draft will be displayed.
