Pending Submission Notifications Reviews
Doesnt send emails to CPT
Way to basic, and I think it only works for posts. Its not working for my custom post types.
A little configuration be better
It will be nice if we can have configuration to avoid this condition : ! user_can( $post->post_author, 'publish_posts' ) This topic was modified 7 years, 8 months ago by minimax59. This
