[Résolu] wpv-post-author not working in email notifications when post set to expire

Ce fil est résolu. Voici une description du problème et la solution proposée.

Problem: I would like to add the post author's first name to an email notification, but the wpv-post-author shortcode doesn't behave consistently.

Solution: Add the post ID placeholder for more specificity:

[wpv-post-author format="meta" meta="first_name" id="%%POST_ID%%"]

I have a CPT set to expire. The form contains 3 email notifications all set to be sent to the post author. The first is sent when the form is submitted, the second 5 hours before expiry and the third 3 minutes before expiry. Each email contains a greeting:-

<p>Hello [wpv-post-author format="meta" meta="first_name"]</p>

I've noticed that the wpv-post-author shortcode returns the user's name in the first email but not in the second or third (the notifications triggered by conditions based on the expiry date). See Images 1 & 2.

This wasn't an issue prior to the recent upgrade to CRED 2.1.

This is a test install so I can't provide access. Please endeavour to test this yourselves or provide private fields for me to provide a zipped database dump and a zipped files dump. Thanks.

Hi, please add the post ID placeholder for more specificity, like this:

<p>Hello [wpv-post-author format="meta" meta="first_name" id="%%POST_ID%%"]</p>

Aha that seems to be working now - thanks!
