How to Set Up a Drip-Feed Lesson

We already know that by default the LearnDash setting tab has a Lesson Release Schedule with three options.

Enrollment-based: The lesson will be accessible after X days of enrollment.Specific date: Lessons will be available on a specific date and time.

How to Set Up a Drip-Feed Lesson

Drip-feed Content Extended for LearnDash adds one more option, Lesson based, here.

Choose the Lesson-based option when you want to release a lesson at a specific time after the completion of a specific lesson.

By default, it is set to 0, minute(s) and select lessons.

Select the minimum number, and choose between minute(s), hour(s), and day(s). Also, select the lesson from the drop-down after which you want to release this lesson.

For example, if I want to release my lesson – “lesson 2” three hours after the completion of “lesson 1”, my option would be something like this.

If you scroll down, you will find a text box for a restriction message that applies to this lesson.
