How it Works
Post Dripper Extension allows you to set how many selected sites receive the content at each interval. The Extension will post to all selected child sites. Once the Post/Page is published on all selected sites, the drip session ends. It will never publish the same content to one child site multiple times.Example 1
Publish this post to 1 site every 1 day (20 child sites selected)- Day 1: the article gets published on one selected child site
- Day 2: the article gets published on another selected child site
- Day 3: the article gets published on another selected child site
- …
- Day 20: the article gets published on the final selected child site
Example 2
Publish this post to 3 sites every 2 days (20 child sites selected)- Day 1: the article gets published on 3 selected child sites
- Day 2: nothing gets published
- Day 3: the article gets published on another 3 selected child sites
- Day 4: nothing gets published
- Day 5: the article gets published on another 3 selected child sites
- Day 6: nothing gets published
- …
- Day 13: the article gets published on the final 2 selected child sites
Example 3
Publish this post to 5 sites every 1 week (20 child sites selected)- Day 1: the article gets published on 5 selected child sites
- Day 2: nothing gets published
- Day 3: nothing gets published
- Day 4: nothing gets published
- Day 5: nothing gets published
- Day 6: nothing gets published
- Day 7: nothing gets published
- Day 8: the article gets published on another 5 selected child sites

- Day 10: nothing gets published
- Day 11: nothing gets published
