Hi guys,
once before a had this issue and we solve this, but obviously this does not work again. I'm sending to post author notification about expired post. We are notifying author 7 days before expiration. I'm doing this on add and edit post form, not sure if I need to add on both forms this notifications.
This is what I send as a message:
Dear %%USER_FIRST_NAME%%,
your Listing %%POST_TITLE%% (%%POST_LINK%%) is about to expire. You have 7 days to reset expiration date. After this time, your Listing will not be visible in Businesses for Sale page.
Best Regards

Hello,
The post expiration feature of Toolset Forms plugin is based on WordPress CRON job, so if you add post expiration setting in both creating post form and editing post form, it will add two CRON job for each post, and your users will get two email notifications.
What do you mean this:
once before a had this issue and we solve this, but obviously this does not work agai
Please elaborate the question with more details, provide detail steps to reproduce the same problem, thanks

Sorry Luo, I hit the send button to early...
I'm sending those messages when the post is about to expire. For some reason earlier we had a same issue, and one of your support tech guys give me those shortcodes, which are not available from GUI. And this has worked. We have now again some complaints that expiration notification emails do not have those placeholders (Listing Title, User First Name, ... and so on...). I need there assistance. Why is this happening?
Also, we have three notifications, one for post author, one for site admin and one for me. Author is receiving those messages, but two others are not send out.
Also, you told me that if I add notifications to both forms (ADD and EDIT) the expiration notification messages will be send out two times. What is the best practice, to add only on post creation or when the post is edited? I believe when the post is created, I just need your confirmation for that.
If you need further explanation, please let me know
Best regards

Hi Luo, can you just please tell me where should I add those messages. To ADD post or to EDIT post form?
I will replace those shortcodes with those above. Thanks

It depends on yourself, if you want setup the expiration email notification when user create the new post, then setup it in ADD post form.
If you want setup the expiration email notification only after edit the existed post, then setup it in EDIT post form.
In my opinion, you just need to setup it in the ADD post form.
Thanks Luo, I leave that as it is. As we have option where broker/agent can create and edit listings on the website from cred form, we need to leave this option as it is. We are creating expiration date when the listing is created, but also expanding that date if the listing is edited.
I will give you feedback if I have any other issues with this configuration.
As always thanks a lot.
