Reset to default 0This should work — make sure to change my_custom_type to the correct CPT slug:
add_action( 'transition_post_status', 'notify_author_on_publish', 10, 3 );
function notify_author_on_publish( $new_status, $old_status, $post ) {
if ( 'publish' !== $new_status ||
$new_status === $old_status ||
'my_custom_type' !== get_post_type( $post ) ) {
return;
}
// Get the post author data.
if ( ! $user = get_userdata( $post->post_author ) ) {
return;
}
// Compose the email message.
$body = sprintf( 'Hey %s, your awesome post has been published!
See <%s>',
esc_html( $user->display_name ),
get_permalink( $post )
);
// Now send to the post author.
wp_mail( $user->user_email, 'Your post published!', $body );
}
