How to drip content

    I am able to restrict content to non registered users but for registered users I want certain pages to be available a couple of days later.

    So I created an access level; selected some pages and chose Drip content “20” days for example, and for another page “0” days”.

    At options I chose: Subscriber > Redirect > Activate > Singular & Archive (No idea what the latter 3 mean).

    Unfortunately a registered user is able to access all pages while he is not a member of the site for more than 20 days. What am I doing wrong?

    It should be made more clear that Content Drip only works for Access Levels that are not synchronized with roles.

    The reason for this is that when synchronizing the Level, it is not possible to know when the user were “assigned” to the level, and therefore there is no date to calculate from.

    So if you make the Level unsynchronized and add members to it, then Content Drip should work.

    As for the 3 options:
    “Redirect” means that unauthorized users will be redirected to the “Activate” page. If you chose “Tease”, the users would not be redirected but instead shown a teaser from the restricted content along with content from “Activate” page.

    “Singular & Archive” determines that you target both “singular” content (posts, pages, posts with category X etc.) and Archive content (blog page, archive pages, category pages etc.)

    Let me know if this solves your problem.

    Ok this works, thanks for the explanation! How can I automatically add all registered users (and users that will register)?

    ..any idea?

    Currently this is not possible without custom code. If you only have tens of users, it should be quick to do under the Members tab in the level editor, but if you have thousands, I can see that it will be cumbersome.

    It does make sense to integrate the levels with user registration, and it is on the roadmap.
