What it does
Many online courses open every lesson at once, which lets students skip ahead or feel buried under material. This add-on gives instructors a way to pace the curriculum. Lessons can open a set number of days after a student enrolls, on specific calendar dates or only after earlier lessons are finished. Students move through the course in the order you planned, and foundational topics come before the material that builds on them.
The add-on works inside LearnPress and requires it to run. Drip settings sit in the lesson and quiz settings, so you configure release rules where you already build course content. You can combine conditions, such as finishing one lesson and then waiting three days, and write a custom message that tells students why a lesson is locked and what they need to do. Once rules are set, content opens automatically without manual work.
Best for
- LearnPress sites selling structured, multi-week online courses
- Instructors who want students to finish lessons in order
- Training programs with prerequisite-based learning paths
Features
Drip by time
Open lessons automatically a set number of days after a student enrolls, or on fixed calendar dates, to keep a steady study rhythm.
Drip by completion
Keep new lessons or quizzes locked until a student completes the prerequisite activities you have chosen for that part of the course.
Prerequisite lessons
Mark specific lessons as prerequisites so students follow a logical learning path and cover the basics before moving on.
Combined drip conditions
Mix several conditions for one item, for example completing Lesson A and waiting 3 days after enrollment, to match your course structure.
Custom locked content messages
Show students a message of your choosing when content is locked, explaining the progress requirements they still need to meet.

Once rules are in place, lessons and quizzes open on their own according to schedule or progress, with no manual unlocking needed.

Questions about Content Drip LearnPress
Does this work without LearnPress?
No. Content Drip LearnPress is an add-on built for LearnPress and requires the LearnPress plugin. It adds drip rules to the lessons and quizzes you create in your existing LearnPress courses.
Can I release lessons on specific dates instead of after enrollment?
Yes. You can open lessons a set number of days after each student enrolls, or set fixed calendar dates. Date-based release suits cohort courses where everyone moves through the material together.
Can I require students to finish one lesson before the next opens?
Yes. You can set lessons as prerequisites and keep later lessons or quizzes locked until those are completed. You can also combine this with a time delay, such as finishing a lesson and then waiting a few days.
What do students see when a lesson is still locked?
You can write a custom message that appears when content is locked. Use it to explain what the student needs to complete or how long until the lesson opens.
