* Hi
* I was wondering if someone could help fix a problem I’m having with sending emails
* I’ll try and explain it the best I can, I have developed a website for a golf
club I’m a member at. The first part is just a basic WordPress site that displays
information about the club and displays competition results, the competition
results are pulled from a MySQL DB using embedded PHP Code (XYZ PPH Code Plugin)
* The second part I have written myself and is used to add competition results
to the DB. When a new competition is added to the DB is also sends a API call
to WordPress and this will then post the news on the news feed and tag it with
the correct category
* Results – Men
Results – Ladies Results – Juniors
* (Under Posts and Categories)
* This is the bit I’m having issues with, in Email Subscribers I have created 4
groups people can subscribe to
* Club News
Results – Men Results – Ladies Results – Juniors
* I also have 2 templates, one for Club News and one for Results Men\Ladies\Juniors
* Next up I have 4 post notifications
* Club News Template \ Club News Subscribers Group \ Club News Post Categories
Results Template \ Results – Men Subscribers Group \ Results – Men Post Categories
Results Template \ Results – Ladies Subscribers Group \ Results – Ladies Post
Categories Results Template \ Results – Juniors Subscribers Group \ Results –
Juniors Post Categories
* If I login to the WordPress admin site and create and new post and say tag it
with Results – Men, it will then post the news, email all subscribers to Results–
Men and also use the correct template, so I know the system is working fine
* When I use the API to add the news post, it will post the news fine, have the
correct category of Results – Men, send the email but it won’t have the correct
template and something I haven’t checked yet is it emailing the correct people.
It will have the Club News template
* This is the code used to post the news
* ```
if ($agcfcat == "Men")
{
$wpcat = "3"; \\Results - Men
}
if ($agcfcat == "Ladies")
{
$wpcat = "4"; \\Results - Ladies
}
if ($agcfcat == "Junior")
{
$wpcat = "5"; \\Results - Juniors
}
$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
CURLOPT_URL => "http://www.***.com/index.php?rest_route=/wp/v2/posts/",
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
CURLOPT_ENCODING => "",
CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,

CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1,

CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array(
"Authorization: ***",
"Cache-Control: no-cache",
"Postman-Token: ***",
"content-type: multipart/form-data; boundary=----WebKitFormBoundary*****"
),
));
$response = curl_exec($curl);
$err = curl_error($curl);
curl_close($curl);
if ($err) {
echo "cURL Error #:" . $err;
} else {
echo "
News Posted
";
}
```
* Clearly I’m missing something, should I be adding anything else?
