Hello Gordon,

When an author posts a new blog post, they will not be notified because it wouldn't really make sense if you are writing something and you get notifications when you write that article.

Mark,

I guess you didn't understand the issue. All posts are scheduled to be published, not immediately published. We are using the moderated workflow. Blog posts are submitted to be approved. When they are approved, they are scheduled to be published on an upcoming publish date. When the date arrives, everyone gets notified except the blogger that submitted the post. Authors are anxious to see their posts on the site frontage on the publication date. This is unfair to the blogger who submitted the article that they are excluded from the notification.

We occasionally have trouble with the email subsystem being unreliable or severely delayed due to our hosting service, so the bloggers are anxious for confirmation that their blog post has been published to all subscribers and for anyone coming to the site to see.

Can you see why it makes no sense to exclude the blogger from being notified along with everyone else? It confirms that the site is operating correctly.
Can't this exclusion be eliminated?

Hi Gordon,

What Mark means is, if a blogger write a blog post, when the blogger get a notification of new blog post that created by the blogger, then this dont make sense because the blogger already know there will be a new blog post

Anyway, when the blog post get approved, did the blogger get a notification about his / her blog now approved?

Anyway, if you want to notify the blogger who created the blog post, then you will need to customise your EasyBlog code. Edit the file 'JOOMLA/administrator/components/com_easyblog/tables/blog.php' and look for below code at line 1215:

		if( isset( $emails[ $author->user->email ] ) )

		{

			unset( $emails[ $author->user->email ] );

		}

Replace the above code with the following:

		// if( isset( $emails[ $author->user->email ] ) )

		// {

		//	unset( $emails[ $author->user->email ] );

		// }

Let me know if the above method work for you or not.
Hope this help and have a nice day
