Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

Who is waiting for that article? A press office that sent you a press release, a client who paid for a sponsored post, a guest author, a colleague. PostNotify emails them automatically the moment the post is published, with the title and the direct link — so you no longer have to write “it’s online, here is the link” by hand every time.

PostNotify is not a newsletter plugin and does not manage subscriber lists. You choose the recipient post by post, right in the editor.

it, an Italian online magazine since 1998, where it notifies press offices every day that their press releases have been published.

Who it is for

  • Online magazines and news sites: tell press offices and agencies their press release is online, so they share the link while the news is fresh.
  • Press offices and PR agencies running their own site: notify the client as soon as an article goes live.
  • Companies: inform a partner, a client or another office when you publish a news item.
  • Multi-author blogs: let guest authors know their post has been published.
  • Associations: notify a board member or a partner organisation about a new announcement.

How it works

  • Set the sender name and email (SMTP optional but recommended).
  • Write your post and enter the recipient’s address in the PostNotify box.
  • Publish: the notification email is sent automatically, once.
