Sites with multiple authors can take advantage of collaboration and teamwork. With Email Post Changes, you can keep track of changes being made to your site’s content by other users you’ve approved to work on your site.
📌
This feature is not available on sites with plugins installed.
To enable this Email Post Changes:
- Visit your site’s dashboard.
- Go to Settings → Writing.
- Toward the bottom, next to the “Enable” section, check the box for “Send an email when a post or page changes“.
- Select the users that should be notified whenever a post changes. The user’s display name, username, and email address are all shown for existing site users.
- If you want to notify someone who is not a site user, or maybe a group of people via an email list, you can type those emails into the Additional Email Addresses text field. Make sure to only add one email address per line.
- You can choose to be notified of changes to your posts, pages, or portfolio projects.
- Note, the projects option will not always appear. Projects only appear when the project custom post type is activated.
- Email Post Changes will only watch published items by default, but if you’d also like to keep an eye on drafts, check the box next to Drafts for Email changes to drafts, not just published items.
- After you have configured all the settings, click the “Save Changes” button at the bottom of the page. Whenever a post changes, you’ll receive an email similar to the following so you can see the changes that were made.
- This will include HTML added so that all changes can be reviewed. When using the default WordPress editor, it will show the code for each block.
📌
The Email Post Changes feature will notify you of changes to existing posts or pages, but it isn’t meant to notify you about newly published posts. To receive emails about newly published posts, you can follow the blog instead.
