PMS Content Dripping is a specialized add-on for Paid Member Subscriptions that allows site owners to release content to members over time. It creates schedules based on when a user signs up, ensuring that specific posts or categories only become available after a set duration. This prevents users from downloading all resources at once and then cancelling their subscription.
WPExclusive members get access to Content Dripping as part of a full plugin and theme library — plans from $9.99/month. See the full Paid Member Subscriptions collection →
What Is PMS Content Dripping?
PMS Content Dripping is developed by Paid Member Subscriptions and is a membership plugin for WordPress. It belongs to the membership category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for content protection and user management.
This add-on solves the problem of “hit and run” subscribers who consume all premium content in a single day. Administrators use it to build structured courses or long-term membership experiences by staggered content delivery.
PMS Content Dripping Features
The feature set is built around time-based access control and automated content schedules.
Automated Content Schedules
Content Dripping allows for the creation of unlimited content dripping sets. Users can show individual posts, pages, or custom post types based on custom time intervals from the start of the member’s subscription. This ensures that different members receive different amounts of content based on their individual join dates.
Category and Taxonomy Control
Beyond individual posts, Content Dripping can target entire categories and taxonomies. If a site organizes its material by week or module, the administrator can release the entire group of posts at once. This simplifies the management of large-scale membership sites that host high volumes of data.
Shortcode Integration
The plugin includes a specific [pms-cd-contents-table] shortcode to place a Table of Contents anywhere on the site. This list dynamically shows users what content they currently have access to and what is coming next. It provides clear visual progress for subscribers following a curriculum or training program.
Pricing
Check current pricing on the Content Dripping sales page — WPExclusive members access it as part of their plan. The add-on is typically included in the Agency and Pro licenses of the parent plugin.
| Plan | Price | Sites | Includes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Official Pro Plan | $149/year | 1 Site | Add-ons + Updates |
| Official Agency Plan | $249/year | 10 Sites | Add-ons + Updates |
| WPExclusive Membership | From $9.99/month | Unlimited | Content Dripping + full library |
For developers managing multiple sites, a WPExclusive membership covers Content Dripping plus hundreds of other plugins and themes — usually less than one premium license.
Latest Version
The plugin receives regular updates to maintain compatibility with the core Paid Member Subscriptions framework. WPExclusive updates plugin files promptly after each release, ensuring members have access to the latest security fixes and features.

Use Cases
Online Course Delivery
Instructors use Content Dripping to release lessons one week at a time. This keeps students focused on current material within a membership plan rather than jumping ahead to advanced topics without prerequisite knowledge.
Tiered Subscription Retention
Site owners utilize schedules to reward long-term loyalty. By making high-value bonus content available only after the third or sixth month of a subscription, the plugin provides a tangible incentive for members to maintain their recurring payments.
Agencies and Developers Managing Multiple Client Sites
Developers use WPExclusive to deploy sophisticated membership features across multiple client domains without purchasing individual $149 licenses for every site. This significantly reduces project overhead while maintaining professional standards.
