Disable 'your scheduled post is now published' notification
-
Recently I started getting these in the WP notification area. They’re basically spam, can they be turned off or deleted? The only thing they add is another two or three feet I have to scroll to get to the notes that matter.

Hi there,
That feature was added because many users asked for a way to see once a scheduled post goes live. There is no way to switch off a specific type of notification, but if you click the notifications icon you can switch between different types of notifications at the top of the drop-down. That way you can see notifications for only comments, likes or follows, if you don’t want to see the other types.

That makes no sense – a scheduled post goes live at the time you schedule it to go live. I understand it’s truly ‘live’ when someone visits your site but since the notifications have no time-stamp that isn’t a consideration.
Thank you, I know of the filter buttons, but there isn’t one for ‘telling me what I already know.’
If many users asked for this I’m sure there are many users that don’t want it too. Why not please everybody and provide a menu for us to configure what notifications we see? There’s one for email notifications so I imagine it would be just as useful. Or maybe a little “X” in the upper-right of each note so we can delete the ones we don’t want or need? -

I heard back from a developer on this and it’s possible from our side to turn off an entire class of notifications, but not a specific type like here. But someone is looking into this. I can’t make any promises that this will change, though.

Thanks for checking, I guess this has become a pet peeve. Seems to me a notification is to tell you something you don’t know, you got a comment or a like for example. Your post schedule is something you DO know. It’s like a note saying “You capitalized your name!”
And if you’re seeing this notification you’re in the WP web interface or in the app and there’s a big button that says “All Posts” and you know what you can find there – yep, your scheduled posts.
And funny, but I scoured these forums and googled across the internet and couldn’t find a single request for a scheduled post notification on wp.com. A couple (literally, 2) for wp.org plug-ins but that’s it. And the plug-in isn’t that popular. Just an observation.
Put the post title and a time stamp right up front here maybe, but this just isn’t helpful – is that possible?

We get feature requests via private support requests (email/livechat) as well.
Including the post title and time stamp in the notification is a good idea, I agree. Especially for people who make many scheduled posts. I’ll pass that along to our developers as well.
