Reset the Drip Schedule on a Course with AI
Change how a whole course releases, from weekly to any cadence you want, without opening every lesson.
Prerequisites
A connected site running LifterLMS 10.1 or newer and a course with its lessons already in place.
I use LifterLMS on my WordPress site. Reset the drip schedule on my course [course name] so that lessons release [describe the cadence, for example one lesson every 7 days after enrollment]. Use the LifterLMS abilities. First work out the lesson order: get the course content to list its sections in order, then list the lessons in each section, ordering by the field called order rather than menu_order. Run the cadence continuously across the whole course instead of restarting the count in each section. Unless I said otherwise, make the first lesson available immediately and start the interval from the second one, and tell me plainly which reading you used so I can correct you. To make a lesson available immediately, set its drip method to none, because LifterLMS refuses a drip of zero days. Show me the full plan as a table of lesson title, current drip setting, and new drip setting, and wait for me to confirm before you change anything. Count the delay from enrollment unless I told you otherwise; if I asked you to count from the course start date, check that the course actually has a start date first and tell me if it does not instead of guessing. Then set the drip method and days on each lesson. Do not change lesson content, order, or status, and do not touch any other course. When you are done, re-fetch the lessons and show me the drip settings that actually saved.

Run the “Reset the Drip Schedule on a Course with AI” recipe from the WPVibe cookbook on my connected site.
Drip settings live on each lesson, one lesson at a time. Moving a twenty-lesson course from weekly release to every other week means opening twenty lessons and editing the same two fields in each one. Lose your place halfway through and you have no way to tell which lessons you already did.
You describe the cadence you want and the AI walks the course in order and sets the drip fields on every lesson. It shows you the plan first, as a table of which lesson gets which delay, and waits for your go-ahead before it writes anything. Lesson content, order, and status are left alone.
Paste the prompt with your course and the cadence you want. Drip changes land on students who are already enrolled and partway through, so tell your current students before you stretch a schedule out. Two details catch people: releasing a lesson a set number of days after the course start date only works if the course actually has a start date, and the first lesson, the one available the moment somebody enrolls, is stored as having no drip at all rather than a zero-day drip, so it will look different from the others in wp-admin.
Outcome
Every lesson in the course releases on the schedule you described, with the saved settings read back to you.
