I am working on a plugin that sent an email when a post is published using 

 add_action('save_post','my_function');

 my_function($post_id)
 {
  //do everything here
 }

its working fine whenever a new post is published or its being updated from quick edit,

but the problem is that its not working when a post is schedule for future publish, for this I googled it, and find the following 

  add_action('publish_future_post', 'my_function');

this is the same function as used for above action,

I also found following action on some results, 

  add_action('future_to_publish', 'my_function');

but the last 2 action not working , mean its not sending any email,

can anyone help me to figure it out ,

    here is my complete function,

      function my_function($post_id) {

   $post= get_post($post_id);

    if ($post->post_type == 'post' && $post->post_status == 'publish') {

     global $current_user;

  get_currentuserinfo();

  $usernamme = $current_user->user_login;

  $email= $current_user->user_email;

  $fname = $current_user->user_firstname;

  $lname = $current_user->user_lastname;

 $disname =  $current_user->display_name;

 $id =  $current_user->ID;

 $user = new WP_User($id);



if ( !empty( $user->roles ) && is_array( $user->roles ) ) 

{

    foreach ( $user->roles as $role )

        $user_role = $role;

        $upper = ucfirst($user_role);

}

$email_post_options = get_option('email_post_options');

$adminemail =(!empty($email_post_options['adminemail'])) ? $email_post_options['adminemail'] : get_bloginfo('admin_email');

if(isset($email_post_options['rol']))

{

            $msg = '';

            $postdet = get_post($post_id);

            $title = $postdet->post_title;

            //$excerpt = substr($postdet->post_content,0,150);

            $pdate = $postdet->post_date;

            $permalink = get_permalink($post_id);

            $price = get_post_meta( $post_id, '_my_meta_value_key', true );

            $date = get_post_meta( $post_id, '_my_meta_date_key', true );


    foreach($email_post_options['rol'] as $mailrol) // the roles which are saved from the plugin settings page, which is telling that who's role email will be received when a new post from the user is created.

    {


         if($mailrol==$upper)

         {
             $name = $fname.' '.$lname;
            $usename = ($name!=' ')? $name : $usernamme;


            $msg .='Full Name / Username : ' .$usename."n";

            $msg .='Title : '.$title."n";

            //$msg .='<p>Content : '.$excerpt.'</p>';

            $msg .='Link = '.$permalink."n";

            $msg .='Price is = '.$price."n";

            $msg .='Added date = '.$date."n";

            $msg .='Published date = '.$pdate."n";

            $msg .='Total Posts : '.count_user_posts($id)."n";
            echo $msg;
            if($email_post_options['npemail']==1)

            {

                wp_mail($adminemail, 'New Post', $msg);

            }



         }

    }

}

  } // end if

} // end function

    its my function , if you have any confusion in this please let me know.

  2. On line 3 you’re checking the post_status of the post and explicitly checking for publish, which is only set for posts that (you guessed it) are published. When a post is scheduled to be published later, it’s status is set to future. For your example, the first three lines:

    function my_function($post_id) {

    $post= get_post($post_id);

    if ($post->post_type == 'post' && ($post->post_status == 'publish' || $post->post_status == 'future') ) {

    Let me know if that works for you.
