## 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.
Post Dripper Extension allows you to set how many selected sites receive the content at each interval. The Extension will post to all selected 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.
Post Dripper runs through the `mainwp_post_dripper_cronposting` scheduled event. If you rely on WordPress cron, keep **MainWP Dashboard > Settings > Advanced Settings > Use WP Cron** enabled and make sure your MainWP Dashboard site receives regular cron triggers.
