Hello wpForo Support Team,
I’m developing a plugin that integrates wpForo with Telegram to send notifications when a post is approved (i.e., when its status changes from "Not Approved" (status = 1) to "Approved" (status = 0)). I’m currently using the wpforo_after_add_post hook to detect new posts, but this hook does not fire when a post’s status is updated (e.g., during moderation approval).
Could you please tell me which hook or event is triggered when a post’s status changes, specifically when a post is approved by a moderator? I’ve tried wpforo_after_update_post and wpforo_after_approve_post, but they don’t seem to work in my setup (wpForo version [2.1.6]).
Thank you for your help!
Best regards, Stanislav
Hi @aima-forum ,
You can use the wpforo_post_status_update action hook, it has two parameters:
do_action( 'wpforo_post_status_update', $post, $status );
Please note that if $status === 1 the post is unapproved, if it's $status === 0 the post is approved.
