@ss0530,
Unfortunately there isn’t a way to set a users stage in the course with regards to drip content.
Is the use-case here that your migrating your course from somewhere else and importing students?
I haven’t ever seen this requested before but it is theoretically possible.
If your drip is based off course enrollment date your could back-date their enrollment date in the course (you’d have to do this manually via the database). If that sounds like an option you’d be comfortable pursuing take a look at our database docs: https://lifterlms.com/docs/lifterlms-database-description/#table-wp_lifterlms_user_postmeta
You can adjust the “_start_date” meta item for the students after you’ve enrolled them. Not perfect but could work.

Yes, I have various clients all in different stages of the program right now. So I want to make the correct sections available to them… and then drip from here on out.
That’s exactly what I was hoping to be able to do from the back-end. Just change students course start date to open up the lessons that should be available to them.
I’m not a database guru by any means, but I might be able to pull it off….
@ss0530,
We have a ton of options and settings and I’m not omniscient… I haven’t ever had this request before. This is the best I can do today but Ill consider the need in a future release.
Sorry this isn’t a feature 🙁

ok, So I changed the user “enrollment date” in the database but it didn’t change the enrollement date in Lifter LMS. I just wanted to let everyone know for future reference. It was definitely worth a shot though. Thanks for the suggestion and potential fix.
@ss0530,
How are you confirming that the enrollment date didn’t change after changing it in the database?
Can you send a screenshot of the database value and the value you’re using for confirmation?
This should work…
