Great video! What is the largest file size of videos you can upload for your course? My videos are high-resolution so they are all at least 1gb.

[@wpbeginner]

We would recommend using a site like Vimeo to host videos that large. we would recommend taking a look at our guide below for more on videos: www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/why-you-should-never-upload-a-video-to-wordpress/

[@rightpadding]

I just purchased the plugin. Is there any way I could make the first lessons free then the rest are paid? For LearnDash they call it 'sample lesson' but I cannot seem to see a setting like this?

[@rightpadding]

I tried to create a rule by lesson but it seems it doesn't show an exception.

[@wpbeginner]

You would want to reach out to the plugin's support for if this is an option or if it would require a specific setting.

[@rightpadding]

@@wpbeginner thank you. I guess I have to really send them a message

[@yourbiggestfannn]

is it enough to use bluehost for an online course website? I've heard if you have shopping function and even online course function on your site you might want to use VPS as your server to make it more stable.

[@wpbeginner]

It would depend on how much traffic is going to your site, for most beginner sites Bluehost is perfectly fine and you can upgrade if your site starts to grow too much for the starting plan.

[@yourbiggestfannn]

@@wpbeginner thank you so much!

[@drbilalal-zubaidi8714]

It seems so complicated for me, I would like to create a CCW cars2sell, however I want to add some rules and conditions, so my students must sign those papers before the enroll in class, can you please create a video where to show all those steps, please know that the CCW course it's something serious, I would like my students to sign some paperwork

[@wpbeginner]

It would depend on how you would want your users to sign up for the courses but we would recommend reaching out to MemberPress' support and elaborate on how you want your users to sign up and they should be able to assist!

Hi - would I need to add a plugin indicating course/website under construction before working on setting up the website and adding material?

[@wpbeginner]

It is not required but if you wanted a plugin to do that, you may want to take a look at SeedProd :)

[@SewSimplyCreative]

Great video! Perfect timing for me because I'm also working on a course. Can we embed our unlisted or private videos from KZbin in the lessons?

[@wpbeginner]

You would want them unlisted to embed the video on your site.

[@nicolelaurentLMHC]

Can I embed video lectures into the course? Using this particular plug in?

[@wpbeginner]

Yes, you could embed videos into your courses if you wanted :)

[@DesiFelibert]

Thanks, #WPBeginner When you have a site all ready, and you want to create a course do I need to have a subdomain to install the plugin?

[@wpbeginner]

No, you don't need a subdomain to use a plugin like this but if you prefer you can set up a plugin like this on a subdomain.

[@DesiFelibert]

@@wpbeginner Thanks for your response. I installed it on my site, right now working on my course. Really appreciate your videos 🙏🙏🙏

[@ajitsah25]

Super

[@wpbeginner]

Thanks

[@orkhanmammadov8020]

Thanks for the great video. So I understood that we can create course and make it purchasable for users. Couple of questions: Can I place video also on this course ot I need extra plug-in for that? Can I create quiz or exam with the plug-ins you showed, or we need extra for that? Thanks in advance

[@wpbeginner]

You can certainly add a video to your course and unless there is a very specific feature you want with your quiz you don't need anything additional to add a quiz.

[@WBT-p9b]

Hello Great video! Thank you so much for the information. just to make sure.., Is memberpress free?

[@wpbeginner]

MemberPress is a paid plugin

[@russelynwilliams9698]

Can we add worksheets for them to download?

[@wpbeginner]

You would normally use Word or Google docs for creating those but you can certainly add those to your WordPress site to download!

[@FirstClassFlipping]

Great video..thanks! Question, where do they actually log in to access the information once signed up?

[@wpbeginner]

They can either use your wp-login or wp-admin page or you can create a custom login page using our guide below: www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-create-custom-login-page-for-wordpress/

[@FirstClassFlipping]

@@wpbeginner Great..thanks!

[@stefanpfadt4353]

Hey any chance this can be done from frontend too? WHat if its not me seling the courses but other people on my website? Can they also offer courses? And is it possible to live stream the courses after paying for them? Cheers :)

[@wpbeginner]

We do not have a recommended method for creating courses from the front end of your site at this time.

[@fabianschultz6527]

Is it possible that other people can offer their own live stream webinars on my website? So, I am only admin but others can stream tutoring classes?

[@wpbeginner]

We do not have a recommended method for that at the moment. If you reach out to MemberPress' support they may have a few recommendations for what you're wanting to do: memberpress.com/contact/

[@healingfirefly]

What is the difference between wordpress and bluehost?

[@wpbeginner]

WordPress is the tool to make your site, BlueHost is a hosting provider so users can find your site on the internet.

[@tusharrana1447]

How to put watermark of name and number or email when video runs online ??

[@wpbeginner]

We do not have a recommended method for that at the moment but KZbin and Vimeo have tools to prevent videos from being embedded on other sites at the moment.

[@tusharrana1447]

@@wpbeginner what if your students capture your video from your site and sell at cheapest rate on other platforms like fb , telegrams or like.... So need some kind of security related to this.... If you have any kind of suggestions in this regards....

[@coolcentbigman2542]

Great video! Please, I don't have PayPal and I don't want to use it for my transactions. How can I use direct bank transfer as my payment option? I also want to carry out my courses on WhatsApp, so pls how can I make them receive the link my WhatsApp group after making payment? I am patiently wanting for your response.

[@wpbeginner]

At the moment we do not have a recommended method for setting that up but if we find a method we would recommend we will be sure to share.

[@coolcentbigman2542]

@@wpbeginner Alright thanks a lot.

[@the.shift_23]

What is license key?

[@wpbeginner]

You would get your own license key when you purchase the pro version of the plugin.
