Really great video Alex. Very practical and easy to follow through, all the information is concise, clear and right on time. And still very relevant three years later. Thanks for your work!

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you very much for this video. At 13:13 where you mention that in WP settings you must check allow "new registrations" is so important. I was struggling for 2 days for not getting the register new user field when a user clicks on buy a course.... You saved my day !

Yes it had me stuck for a long time too :) glad you found it helpful! Alex

[@brianwoodland5859]

Great course. It got to the point without unnecessary verbal diarrhea that so many 'experts' resort to. Concise and informative. One question.. every time I access the course, it defaults to the curriculum page rather than the course overview which I would prefer. Is this because I am already registered as a course student?

[@IdeaSpot]

Hi Brian, Glad it was helpful :) try loading the page in an incognito window to see what it would look like for a new user cheers Alex

For my course I want users to be able to buy access to a video. How can I use learnpress to do that?

Thank you for the video. The payment settings kept on returning to free. How do I ensure it remains in payment mode?

[@shantanupethe]

Very clean and precise video. You are great.... 🙏.. really appreciate your efforts. I had one query.... Can we make lessons access conditional... Like once student finishes the lesson 1 he can access lesson 2 only on clearing the associated Quit of lesson 1..... And so on ...

[@AMBIDEXTROUS0912]

Great Tutorial. I was looking for a free LMS for my website, your tutorial explains a lot and now I am going to try Learnpress. I am on a tight budget so having this as a trial for my courses will help me decide if I will purchase the one-off payment. Thank you and great job on this. Keep it up.

[@AMBIDEXTROUS0912]

How can I remove the side bar in my course? And the title of the course is missing once I use the css that you provided.

[@IdeaSpot]

Hi, sorry I didn't have those issues so not 100% sure. Your issues sound like they are related to your theme settings rather than LearnPress settings. Try your theme customizer to check your blog settings, sidebar and title can often be customized through that. For themes, I can recommend using astra (in this example) or one of the official learnpress themes.

[@AMBIDEXTROUS0912]

[@IdeaSpot]

no worries - best of luck on your project, very happy to help :)

[@majahorvat9913]

Thanks so much for this really clear tutorial. As well as for the CSS! I was really annoyed by those crumbs so it was perfect! I have one question because I was not able to find it anywhere. It's about the duration of the course. Do you know if it's possible to set when each section of the course opens...like for example I would like my course to last 4 weeks so each week next section would open so that students really internalize the content before they continue? TIA

Hello, and thanks for your good work, can I add students manually? Let’s say it’s a paid course but I want to add 2 of my previous student to a particular course as a bonus? Thanks

Hello! Are you able to track individual student progress with Learnpress, to see how far they are in the curriculums they have set up and what their quiz scores are?

[@nicknamednickify]

This is an outdated video. The problem I'm running into is the course editing screen no longer looks like the one in the video and I can't find the option to edit the course. I see no options to change the curriculum. How does one add lessons and quizzes to a course you've created?

👋UPDATE👋 in 2021 I'd recommend using TutorLMS rather than learnpress- 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!

What do they have in terms of student management. I'd like to have courses, have the student create an account and then "request" to begin a course, and then have an admin "approve" for the student to take the course, and then be able to see that the student took the course (viewed the lessons) on the back end.

[@ardovenglish6297]

Hello! Have you ever experienced problems with videos on LearnPress? At some point they just stopped loading at the front end (just blank space in the lesson ) while being perfectly embedded at the back end.

Great video than you. How did you manage to get a picture in the instructor profile, have been trying to do this but can't seem to do it.

[@AS-qh3zr]

Thanks so much for the video. I've created a 50 question multiple choice maths quiz. I was wondering if there is a way, after completing the test, that the student can review the questions and see the calculations that led to the final answer?

[@IdeaSpot]

You can do something like this to show correct answers: Review Questions - Allow re-viewing questions after completing quiz. Show Correct Answer -Show correct answer when reviewing questions. but I don't think you can show calculations. Maybe the assignment add-on could be better for what you want, since if you add an assignment after the quiz you can provide detailed info after the assignment is done.

Awesome thank you very much for the info. I want to ask, where can I find an option to make quizes in a "plug in answer" format. For instance a student plugs in a solution of a math problem and the program checks if its 3-4 percent within the correct answer. This would be so perfect. Many thanks.

You need paid add-ins to integrate others, but it's a lot cheaper than most of the other LMSs. The Theme Bundle package at a one-off fee of $69 includes every function except assignment setting and front-end course editing/management. (I'm only just learning about LMSs myself - have yet to implement one but this one looks like a good bet!)

Accordingly, I have a question. I was able to use your CSS code to remove the instructor tab, but how to actually add another tab e.g. Itinerary? Thanks!

[@IdeaSpot]

Hiding things with CSS is pretty easy, but building new functions requires some developer level skill - you'll need to learn how build new things using php... you could also look at hiring a php developer to do this for you. Otherwise, you could just design your virtual tour using Elementor - if you wanted to get fancy you could do the custom fields with a plugin like ACF - wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-custom-fields/ Good luck with your project
