The Drip feature allows you to automatically create blog posts using products from your store at regular or random intervals. Drip Settings is a dialog box where you configure how the Drip feature works.

How to configure drip settings

• Drip function: Click "Enabled" to turn this feature on; by default, the Drip is disabled.
• Post categories: Configures how you want dripped products organized.
  • Copy store structure: creates new blog categories which will match your store's category hierarchy.
  • Move all posts to the following category: puts all products into 1 blog category which you specify.
• Drip intervals: Allows you to set a minimum and maximum number of minutes for a product to be posted to your blog. For example, if you put Minimum: 180 minutes and Maximum: 360 minutes, a new blog post will be created using a product from your store every 3 to 6 hours.
• Query string: You can specify a specific category to use in your drip.  Read more about query strings usage here.
• When drip is done: Allows you to choose how Drip will behave after after it has run through all the selected products: Stop Drip: turns the Drip feature off; Restart queue: starts Drip again from the beginning of your selection. NOTE: if you restart your drip, your blog will contain duplicate posts.
• Post options: Provides additional options governing your dripped posts.
  • Post in draft mode: allows you to manually edit or reschedule posts before publishing.

  • Enable comments: by default, comments are not enabled on dripped posts.
  • Enable pings: by default, pings are not enabled on dripped posts.
  • Replace '-' in tags with ___: allows you to select a character to replace the default '-' within multi-word tags. For example, the tag "rock-climbing" could be changed to "rock+climbing".
