Today’s featured WordPress tutorial will surely be very helpful to blog owners who run a multi-authored blog or blogs with lots of guest authors. This useful snippet is taken from a portion of one of Daniel Pataki’s SmashingMagazine articles regarding WordPress hooks.

For now, let’s find out how you can automatically send emails to your various authors once their posts get published on your site. Believe it or not, all it takes is copying one short series of code (shown below this paragraph) and then pasting it on your functions.php file.

function wpr_authorNotification($post_id) {

$post = get_post($post_id);

$author = get_userdata($post->post_author);

$message = "

Hi ".$author->display_name.",

Your post, ".$post->post_title." has just been published. Well done!

";

wp_mail($author->user_email, "Your article is online", $message);

}
 add_action('publish_post', 'wpr_authorNotification');
