Understanding Public Content Limits
The public content limit system is designed to help you manage how much content can be made publicly accessible. This ensures that you maintain the value of your subscription offers while allowing some content to be freely available.
Default Configuration
Default limit: You can set up to 10% of each content type as public.
Minimum floor: Regardless of the percentage, at least 10 public items are always allowed per content type.
Dynamic limit: As your content library grows, the number of allowed public items increases.
Disabled: You can set the limit to 0% to disable public content limits entirely.
How the Limit Scales
The public content limit grows with your library. Here’s how it works:
If you have 5 recipes, you can have 10 public items (minimum floor).
With 50 recipes, you still have 10 public items.
At 100 recipes, you can have 10 public items.
With 200 recipes, you can have 20 public items.
At 500 recipes, you can have 50 public items.
This means new users start with a generous allowance of 10 public items, and as they grow their content library, they can make more items public.
Content Types Affected
The following content types are subject to public limits:
Recipe
Meal Plan
Challenge
Resource
Exempt: Blog posts can be 100% public.
Defining "Public" Content
Content is considered "public" when:
The visibility is set to PUBLIC.
The publish date is not null and is in the past.
Draft content is not counted towards your public limit.
Managing Content Limits
When you delete content, the public content ratio may exceed your configured limit. In this case:
Existing public content is not automatically made private.
You will receive an email notification if you exceed the limit.
You cannot add more public content until you are back under the limit.
Tips for Managing Public Content
Regularly review your content library to ensure you are not exceeding your public content limits.
Consider the balance between public and members-only content to attract new subscribers while maintaining value for existing ones.
Use tags and collections to organize your content effectively, making it easier to manage visibility settings.
