Post Status Notifier Lite vs Events Manager – Event Cancellation

Notify every WordPress post change! You want to be notified when one of your contributors have submitted a new post for revision or an editor published one? Vice versa you want to notify your contributors when their posts got published? This is just the beginning of what you can achieve with Post Status Notifier (PSN)! It works with all kind of custom post types, supports all custom taxonomies like categories and tags other plugins are using. You can grab all these taxonomy values and custom fields attached to a post and use them as placeholders in your custom notification texts. PSN has a powerful conditional template syntax featuring many filters and functions to get the most out of the placeholders! Define as many notification rules as you need with all kind of settings, like custom CC, BCC and FROM emails addresses. PSN is extensible! Build your custom module to implement a new notification service. PSN works great with plugins like WP Job Manager (read more), Calendarize.it (read more), Crowdfunding by Astoundify (read more) or Advanced Custom Fields, just to name a few. The possibilities are endless. Want to automate your publishing workflow with Buffer? No problem!

Requires Events Manager (free plugin) to be installed & activated. Unfortunately, you sometimes have to cancel a planned event. In Events Manager it can be quite cumbersome to make sure you have done everything. This add-on makes that extremely easy! Just change the Post Status to “Cancelled” and this add-on will automatically: Close the Booking Form by adjusting the Event cut-off time to the timestamp of cancellation; Change the Event Category to the new “Event Cancelled”; Change the Booking Status to the new “Event Cancelled” for selected booking statuses; Send the new “Event Cancelled” Email to notify your customers. After cancelling an event, it will still be visible in the front end, but the booking form will be closed. This prevents 404-errors for visitors and search engines. Refunding online payments remains a manual procedure. This add-on is fully integrated with the Events Manager Dashboard. These new options will work exactly the same as the built-in ones. Supports EM in Global Tables Mode If you are running Events Manager on a WordPress MultiSite with Global Tables Mode enabled, you will probably have noticed that (by default) some features are missing on the sub-blogs. Unlike what the EM Dev told me, it is possible to filter the Admin Events List per Event Category if Global Tables Mode is enabled. Since version 2.0 this add-on is (almost) fully compatible with that. The only thing still missing, is selecting Events Categories in the Quick Edit menu on sub blogs. But all other features of this add-on run smoothly. Compatibility with EM – Ongoing Events: If you cancel a main event, all sub events will be cancelled as well, but if you cancel a sub event, the rest of this Ongoing Series will remain unchanged. How to test it? Simply create a test event like any other. Publish it and add yourself as a participant. Then set the test event to “Cancelled” and watch the magic happen.
