[@lizetjames]

amazing video thank you so much!! /I watched 4 hours of video tutorials on how to open an online course in wordpress and with your 17min video I have learnt more than i did i 4 hours!! Thank you!! and your voice is soothing :) makes it very easy to learn.

wow :) thanks Lizet

Nice informative video on Tutor LMS - WooCommerce connections!

[@SelfDiscovery2024]

This was the best tutorial that I came across on this subject. Thank you for sharing this information so clearly. I have a question. I noticed that there is no logout button in the course. Is this something that I can create? On one video I saw a logout button under the students profile image...but we don't have that either. Any additional information that you can provide on the subject would be greatly appreciated.

[@GraceRaisedMeUp]

Answer to my prayers. God bless you sir.

[@shamankatie]

Thank you this helped me iron some things out that I couldn't otherwise grasp on my own. I appreciate it.

[@ace2044]

wow thanks so much. I kept getting error "Registration disabled. Please ask site admin to enable registration" and I couldnt figure it out anywhere until on your video you say Settings > Membership > Enable 'anyone can register' then it worked finally. Thanks!

[@MiltonReales]

Hello.. very nice video..!!! I have a question: In the Astra theme that you use, is it not possible to change the colors? Thank you.

[@IdeaSpot]

Hi, yes it has some color styling options: www.themeum.com/tutor-lms-v1-3-0-update/

[@codedbychavez8190]

You've just earned my subscription!

[@wheres_bears1378]

Where do you host the videos ? And what page do you embed the video once the course is paid for ?

[@IdeaSpot]

Hi Sam, there are quite a few options for video hosting - there's a decent article here www.wpbeginner.com/showcase/best-video-hosting-sites-for-bloggers-marketers-and-businesses/

[@wendyfinlayson9308]

That was very helpful thank you. You've earned my subscription! I notice in your WP dashboard you had Memberships. Does that mean you need a membership plugin to create and monetize a course with TutorLMS? I'm guessing not from your tutorial but just want to check. I'm trying to find an alternative to having an LMS and membership combo as it makes troubleshooting very difficult. Does Tutor LMS have any reporting capability? That is reporting about students who still aren't completed etc?

[@IdeaSpot]

Hi, no need for a membership plugin - didn't use one in this tutorial. There is a reporting fuction in the pro version, not sure if it meets your needs exactly though. The best option maybe learndash - it has LOADS of options for reporting (www.learndash.com/support/docs/add-ons/3rd-party/) I have a tutorial for learndash here too: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4e7poibip1nqpo

[@ОлжасТольмухамет]

Thank you for this, can you please share a manual how to configure themes with Tutor LMS?

[@thebigquestion]

To preview /run the course. You make the course free (clicking the check button) and can then preview it while signed in as admin. If you're not signed in it asks you to create an account.

Hi, 1. When I try to upload video (Lesson) through html5, it says max filesize 40MB. Can you tell me if there is a way to upload large files? 2. Is there an option for LIVE STREAMING and then upload the recordings? Thankyou:)

[@IdeaSpot]

Hi there is this: wordpress.org/plugins/upload-max-file-size/ But there is usually a limit in place by your hosting too, you'll need to find out what that is. I don't think live streaming is possible with this plugin, you could use some other video capture software then upload after the stream. good luck with your project :) Alex

[@VinceLeeMiller]

Does this service Tutor LMS remind people by email to complete the next lesson?

[@joshuarobert9528]

Thanks alot, this is awesome. The only area am not cleared is the best method to add a video, obviously not through KZbin I mean. Can I add a video directly from my laptop or google drive? What's the best method to use actually?

[@IdeaSpot]

For a free course, KZbin is easily the best - if you are selling members only courses then the paid plans from vimeo.com are probably best value. Adding videos directly into your WordPress media library will need a pretty powerful server to be an effective option - something like vimeo would be more cost effective usually.

[@joshuarobert9528]

Alright. Thank alot

[@bornpeanut]

Thank you very much that's extremely helpful .. Will you please tell me how to add a login system so that students will have to log in before taking any courses? Tutor LMS doesn't exactly have any widgets for a log in system for the website. Thanks in advance

[@dm.aditya]

i made a course but my students dashboard they are getting the option of edit word press and wordpress dashboard on the top of page. will you please tell me how can i turn it off so that my customer can't edit the page by wordpress.?

[@IdeaSpot]

Not sure what would cause this but you could try a plugin like this: wordpress.org/plugins/hide-admin-bar-based-on-user-roles/ Or do it manually: www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-disable-wordpress-admin-bar-for-all-users-except-administrators/

[@housefitza7440]

Hey man, its perfect. Just one issue. How to I turn on auto fufillment so people who purchase my course can start straight away??

Hi, it should do that by default, in my example the woocommerce product is set as 'virtual' and 'for tutor' as soon as the payment complete the user account will be active.

[@PieterMarais12]

I've tried Tutor LMS, but I think Academy LMS is a much better option. It offers a lot more features for free compared to Tutor LMS. Additionally, many features that are premium in other plugins, like Multi-Instructor and Nested Course, are provided for free by Academy LMS. Overall, I think Academy LMS is the best choice.

[@IdeaSpot]

Thanks, did you try masterstudy lms too? It was pretty good

[@KP-oj7lj]

Thank you for this video. Could you please make a video on how to sell the entire website course (LMS website) on membership plan (let's say, we have 2 subscriptions plan 1. Access to entire website courses for 6 months with a particular price and 2. Access to entire website courses for 12 months with a particular price) using Woocommerce Subscription and PMPro plugin. I can't find a video on this. It would be a great help !!! Thanks

[@mbronec]

Great tutorial! I wonder, what would happen if the course wouldnt be for free. Is it possible to sell a course with WooCommerce through Direct Bank Transfer and then enroll the use manually? Most people in my country dont use Paypal.

[@IdeaSpot]

Hi Miki, you can do manual enrolment with the pro version. Alternatively, you could it with the LearnPress plugin, make new users in the WordPress dashboard yourself, assign them to a course and send them the login/password. I have a LearnPress tutorial here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4XXeYhngbN4j6c Another way I think might work (but haven't tested...), require new wordpress users to have the registration manually approved with a plugin like "New User Approve" or something similar. Then you can use WooCommerce Direct Bank transfer, and wait until the transfer is complete before you approve the new user - this could be perfect for you - worth a try! good luck with your project, Alex

[@mbronec]

@@IdeaSpot Thank you Alex! I will give it a try.

[@divinehealingmadesimple3866]

@Miki, WooCommerce integrates with so many Payment gateways worldwide, chances are your most popular payment gateway in your country will be supported by WooCommerce, such that you use that instead of PayPal.

[@dorthekramer5932]

Wonderfully explained. Thank you so much! I only have one question: When I make the changes in Woocomerce so the buyer has to set up an account will that process affect all my other products, too? I would prefer clients to be able to purchase other products without setting up an account.

[@IdeaSpot]

Yes it will - so you might like to have a separate wordpress site for your course like course.yoursite.com or a separate site for your items likes shop.yoursite.com - that would let you have two different Woo setup methods.

Hi, double check the woocommerce account settings and also make sure the buyer is logged into the WordPress site to access the course

[@thejourneywithterence3898]

Hey I found the answer! You have to go to orders in woocommerce and click the order that was just placed then click the drop down at the top and mark that order as complete. THEN that person will be able to begin the course. I'm currently trying to find a scrip to add to the CSS where orders can be marked as complete automatically

[@thejourneywithterence3898]

bingo part 2 go here: docs.woocommerce.com/document/automatically-complete-orders/ and download the code snippet plugin and paste that code. Once you do that it will automatically complete every order and so after your customer pays they will automatically have access!
