Doesnt send emails to CPT
by amityweb·6 years ago

Way to basic, and I think it only works for posts. Its not working for my custom post types.

A little configuration be better
by minimax59·7 years ago

It will be nice if we can have configuration to avoid this condition :
! user_can( $post->post_author, 'publish_posts' )
