You can register TheDeadMedic’s function to fire on the save_post
action, which runs every time a post is saved, regardless of whether or not the status changed.
add_action( 'save_post', '__notify_admin_on_publish', 10, 3 );
Then, comment out these lines in his function:
//if ( $new_status != 'publish' || $old_status == 'publish' )
//return;
To prevent getting an e-mail for autosaves, add this code to the top of the function:
global $post;
if( ( defined( 'DOING_AUTOSAVE' ) && DOING_AUTOSAVE ) || $post->post_status == 'auto-draft' )
return;
Here’s the fully merged code:
<?php
function __notify_admin_on_publish( $new_status, $old_status, $post )
{
global $post;
if( ( defined( 'DOING_AUTOSAVE' ) && DOING_AUTOSAVE ) || $post->post_status == 'auto-draft' )
return;
$message="View it: " . get_permalink( $post->ID ) . "\nEdit it: " . get_edit_post_link( $post->ID );
if ( $post_type = get_post_type_object( $post->post_type ) )
wp_mail( get_option( 'admin_email' ), 'New ' . $post_type->labels->singular_name, $message );
}
add_action( 'save_post', '__notify_admin_on_publish', 10, 3 );
