Setup & everyday use.

Everything below reflects the current release (v1.0.1). Install to first live sequence is typically under fifteen minutes.

Before you start

You need WordPress 6.0+ on PHP 7.4+, an administrator login, and the plugin zip plus licence key from your purchase email. Installation never touches your theme or content.

Setup, step by step

  1. Install the plugin

    In wp-admin go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, choose the zip from your purchase email, install and activate. Run one edition only.

  2. Enter your licence key

    Open Content Drip → Licence and paste your key. Unlicensed, sending pauses safely — sequences and subscribers are kept, nothing is lost.

  3. Check your email deliverability

    The plugin sends through your site's own mail. For best deliverability pair it with any SMTP plugin (WP Mail SMTP, FluentSMTP and similar all work) — the same setup you'd use for WooCommerce receipts.

  4. Brand the emails

    On the Design tab set your logo, accent colour and footer line. Merge tags personalise each send; every email carries a one-click unsubscribe automatically.

  5. Build your first sequence

    On Sequences → New: search your library, add your best posts, drag them into order. Choose full-post or teaser delivery. The live timeline preview shows exactly when each email would land for someone enrolling right now.

  6. Set the trigger and schedule

    Trigger: new user registration, a role being assigned, a completed WooCommerce order, or manual enrolment. Schedule: daily, weekly, monthly, or every N minutes/hours/days/weeks/months — day-based schedules land at your chosen send hour in site time.

  7. Test, then activate

    Use Send test to deliver any step to your own inbox. Happy? Set the sequence to Active. New enrolments start at step 1 from that moment.

Everyday use

The screens you'll actually live in.

Subscribers

See every subscriber's position in the series, enrol someone by hand, pause or remove them. Duplicate enrolments to the same sequence are blocked automatically.

Pausing safely

Pause a sequence and everyone holds their place; reactivate and sends resume on schedule. Nobody restarts or gets skipped.

The send log

Every send recorded as sent or failed (with the error), per subscriber and step — your receipts when someone says "I never got it".

Throttle

Cap how many emails go out per 5-minute tick in Settings, to stay friendly with your host's mail limits.

Unsubscribes

The tokenised unsubscribe link works without login and takes effect instantly, shown on a branded confirmation page.

One edition rule

Run one edition of the plugin at a time — the other bails with a polite notice if both are activated.
