MainWP Post Dripper Extension allows you to deliver posts or pages to your child sites over a pre-scheduled period of time.
The Extension allows you to drip:
- Posts
- Pages
- Boilerplate Posts (only if the Boilerplate Extension is installed and activated)
- Boilerplate Pages (only if the Boilerplate Extension is installed and activated)
How it Works
Post Dripper Extension allows you to set how fast you want to publish content on the selected number of sites during 1 session.
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 the first child site
- Day 2: the article gets published on the second child site
- Day 3: the article gets published on the third child site
- …
- Day 20: the article gets published on the 20th child site
Example 2
Publish this post to 3 sites every 2 days (20 child sites selected)
- Day 1: the article gets published on the first 3 child sites
- Day 2: nothing gets published
- Day 3: the article gets published on the second 3 child sites
- Day 4: nothing gets published
- Day 5: the article gets published on the third 3 child sites
- Day 6: nothing gets published
- …
- Day 13: the article gets published on the last 2 child sites

Publish this post to 5 sites every 1 week (20 child sites selected)
- Day 1: the article gets published on the first 5 child sites

Important Notes
If you want to make sure that WP Cron jobs are regularly triggered on your MainWP Dashboard, you can Authorize the Uptime Robot service and add your dashboard site as a monitor. The Uptime Robot will ping your dashboard site regularly and make sure that all scheduled events are occurring.
