What I’m trying to achieve is to implement a function that will enable an author, when registered and browsing the front-end, to have the option of following other authors of the site and receiving notifications via a front end message when the followed authors post. Is this something that can be achieved with WordPress?
How can an author be subscribed to the posts of another author and receive notifications of the new posts?
I am using the WP Subscribe Author plugin which does the job.
I did some tweaking to the email that is sent in the PHP file as the default email didn’t include a link to the post.
