Drip Content

The Drip Content addon ensures a structured learning flow by enabling content release either on specified dates or in a set sequence.

Settings in Drip Content Addon

There are several options for how you can set the sequence for course content.

WP Dashboard > MS LMS > Sequential Drip Content

Sequential Lesson Lock

Lessons will be locked in terms of the order, and students will not be able to get access to the second lesson until they complete the first one.

This is a global setting and will be applied to all courses. However, inside the main settings of the course, you can turn on this functionality for each course individually.

When the Sequential Lesson Lock is enabled, custom dependencies in the Course Builder can not be set, as they will be configured sequentially according to the setting:

Lock the Lesson Till Its Start Time

The lesson will be locked till its start time. You can define it when editing the lesson in the Course Builder.

The lesson will be unlocked at its start time (for example, at 6:50 PM as in the screenshot), until then, students will be able to track the countdown.

• Unlock the lesson after a certain time after the purchase - The lesson will be available a certain number of days after the purchase:

Lock Lessons in Order

This is the individual application of the global Sequential Lesson Lock setting, and will be applied to this course only. If it is enabled, lessons will be locked in terms of the order, and students will not be able to get access to the second lesson until they complete the first one.

The setting will be disabled if Sequential Lesson Lock is enabled.
