  I don’t get notified when my users post, resulting in pending posts (I am the administrator) what gives?
  Thx
  Dan

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  You have two separate email address settings at WordPress.com.

  Blog notifications for the admin (like comment moderation, Likes, new subscriptions, etc) are sent to the email address at Settings -> General in the Dashboard.

  Personal notifications (like comments on your post, subscription emails, and upgrade renewals) are sent to the email address at Users -> Personal Settings in the Dashboard.

  Be sure to check your email client spam/junk mail filter for the verification email after you make the change.

  Thank you, I believe that both emails are the same for me. However as the administrator shouldn’t I get notified if one of the users is trying to post? So I can review and publish? Currently they are pending and I don’t know that they are.
  How do I remedy this?
  Thank you for you help, it is much appreciated

  There actually is not a built-in system for notifications on posts that are “Pending Review”. It would be hotly requested for group blogs, though.

  Webhooks have been suggested, but I don’t ever remember seeing anyone in the forums implement it. http://en.support.wordpress.com/webhooks/

  I understand…yes, it’s greatly needed at least for my blog. Thank you so much for your response. I’ll look at webhooks

  If you figure it out, please let the rest of us know.

  This feature was added in 2010 http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2010/04/14/hook-line-and-sinker/ and like I said, I’ve never seen anyone actually mention they implemented it on their site.

  Best wishes.

  I looked at it, somewhat convoluted, at least for me. I’ll keep on looking for something, I can’t believe that of all the notifications. A user’s post sits pending and the administrator has no idea… There is got to be something which solves this. What do other admins do? Scan every hour?
