Build & Sell Online Courses with WordPress (Using Free Plugins) LearnPress & Elementor

[@IdeaSpot]

👋UPDATE👋 in 2021 I'd recommend using TutorLMS rather than learn dash - I have a setup tutorial here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmrQoYt-ZbNpaJI TutorLMS has a much better signup and payment process using WooCommerce! It's also free too!

[@cocis911]

Yes but it isn't free to use the Woo Commerce payment for courses with that. Unless you know of a way? My understanding is that Woo Commerce is only free to use if selling physical products but LMS and membership type services you have to pay?

[@TarotReading4Love]

After searching all over the internet for solutions, I came across your video where you use Astra Theme with Elementor and you are actually building a course! You completely took the headache out of the process and made it look simple and easy! You just made my day. And you have a pleasant voice and a calm way to explain things. Wish there were more videos like this. A HUGE THANK YOU!!!

[@goodtreeministries3751]

Tarot Cards are a bad idea. They have spirits that guide them. Unfortunately they are bad spirits. I used to be an atheist, but now I see people get instantly healed of bad knees, broken bones, bad backs, deaf ears when praying for them in the name of Jesus. Repent of sin and believe in Jesus Christ for eternal life.

Honestly, I've been exhaustively searching for a way to sell my courses on WP and there just aren't tutorials as good as yours. I really appreciate it! Thank you so much! BTW, your voice is calming.

[@tobiascrow2792]

Just perfect! so much valuable information, clear and concise. Best tutorial on the subject by far

Thank you very much for this awesome tutorial. Just a quick question, instead of paypal, can we use stripe payment method for this example ? From my country, paypal cannot be used.

[@learnwithgemar9797]

This is awesome tutorials, the missing I think is showing your screen about the emails they get when students enrolled. But anyways you are awesome. No one can beat idea spot when it comes to "cleaner design" I love it

Hello ..I loved these videos .but there is an error at the end 1:02:35 it shows directly from the putting a title to an already configure username and password.Those steps were not showing up in the video..I will be waiting for you to fix this so I can fix the web site that Ia mn trying to follow up with you..Again, thank you in advance!

Thanks Victor @59:10 I show how to build the login page using the 'login with ajax' plugin and adding the shortcode to Elementor. Hopefully that part explains it some more. Good luck, Alex

Hi. Great video! Is it possible to users (membership website) to add courses without using the dashboard? I see on the video in 20:11 that you use the dashboard. I want to have the possibility to add courses from front end. Thank you.

[@oficialreinaldoneves]

Great video. Thank you. But I can't see all the courses just like when you show on 42:00. It simply appears on the console: Error: Incorrect contents fetched, please reload. On the page, instead of showing the courses, it shows the courses page name with a link to nowhere. Someone that is passing through the same problem can help me?

[@francisbaluyot7397]

This is cool. Almost complete! Except for the Login button in the header even if you're already logged in. I guess a new page and a new menu will do for logged-in users. Great video!

[@IdeaSpot]

Hi Francis, thanks - it's possible to change the button based on being logged in: wordpress.org/support/topic/change-button-text-when-logged-in/ but it takes a little dev work... thanks for watching, Alex

[@inspiredmuslimah4542]

Thankyou so much. Was feeling a little lost on how to start my page. Your videos are straightforward and beneficial. Another guy I was watching just kept promoting his own courses and links. Thankyou I'm going to subscribe. Keep up the good work 👏

I can change the color of the phrase but the link stay in blank :/ I tried to use CSS but unsuccesful for the moment. - Do you know how to change the title text "Connexion" because in french it's written "Connetion" with a T and I have to change the letter.

Also, doesn't look like the Learnpress developers will help unless you are on the paid plan.

yeah, it can be tricky adding learnpress to some themes & websites - I'd only consider it if building a fresh site. If you need a free option try TutorLMS or otherwise LearnDash is probably the best overall.

Hi, I talk about Vimeo pro a little in this video - it’s probably the preferred option. Note that you’ll never be able to perfectly protect videos, even using encryption - a user can still use a screen recorder to download and share the files.

Hi, Your video was so useful and I successfully built a course website for a friend. They now want me to change their existing company website to match the style of the course website. In your opinion how easy would that be to do. The company website is a WordPress site as well. Could I install the same theme plugins and use elementor from this video and match up the websites?

[@IdeaSpot]

Hi, yes that's possible. Better take a copy of the company site first and try on a test area (duplicator or all-in-one migration to do this) then when you're happy with the test site, you can copy it back over

Let me start by saying you've got the coolest teaching voice ever! 🙂 Awesome and helpful video. Can I ask please? can I use this process to build a free online language course? I want a simple language course website that is accessible for free, but in the future as my domain grows, some part of the course will be accessed by premium members only while some will still be free. I have no tech knowledge, have tried building a website on wix and WordPress and its been a disaster. So am so thankful that I found your video, I wasn't sure which host is safe, reliable and not break the bank for a free course too😁 I will greatly appreciate your reply. Thanks

[@IdeaSpot]

This method should work well - and another method that will work well is tutor LMS, I did a guide here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2nLnYh_o7Kto5I These both have free versions, so it's worth testing them both and seeing which one you prefer. Good luck - Alex
