Sites with multiple authors can take advantage of collaboration and team work. Our Email Post Changes feature makes it easy to keep track of changes being made to your site’s content.
📌
This feature is not available on sites with plugins installed.
These instructions are referring to the WP-Admin interface. To view this interface, click the View tab in the upper right corner and select Classic view.
To enable this feature:
- Go to Settings → Writing.
- Toward the bottom, next to Enable, check the box for Send an email when a post or page changes.
- Select the users that should be notified whenever a post changes. The user’s display name, username, and email address are all shown for existing site users.
- If you want to notify someone who is not a site user, or maybe a group of people via an email list, you can type those emails into the Additional Email Addresses text field. Make sure to only add one email address per line.
- You can choose to be notified of changes to your posts, pages, and/or portfolio projects.
- Email Post Changes will only watch published items by default, but if you’d also like to keep an eye on drafts, check the box next to Drafts for Email changes to drafts, not just published items.
- After you have configured all of the settings, click the Save Changes button at the bottom of the page. Whenever a post changes, you’ll receive an email similar to the following so you can see the changes that were made.
- This will does include HTML added, so that all changes can be reviewed. When using the default WordPress editor, it will show the code for each block.
📌
The Email Post Changes feature will notify you of changes to existing posts or pages, but it isn’t meant to notify you about newly published posts. To receive emails about newly published posts, you can follow the blog instead.
