I just got tasked with learning and editing a WP site that utilizes LearnDash. Thanks for the create video. I will be going over your video a few more times, and others. My client said to use the existing blocks and rename, then edit in the new course.

My WordPress client's former web developer was creating learning blocks with Net Fusion and doing a cut & paste into LearnDash. I've been tasked with creating more education blocks going forward. When I first opened a learning block that is currently live, the working page is all html code. No front end editing, just the html code page. I was told to copy an existing block (duplicate) and replace it with the new content and video links manually. I know there's an easier way after reviewing your tutorials.

Great question. You can’t use Google Drive because they don’t offer embeddable players. Instead, you could try ScreenPal (witandwire.com/screenpal) or Bunny.net (witandwire.com/bunny.net)

I would like to add a course to my business website thats on WP. How can I add the course that is developed through LearnDash as a tab in my header? Or, woud I require to have a new website setup for the course only? I would like companies to onto my site and from there select courses in the header, and from the header into the learndash course. Is this possible?

@witandwire Жыл бұрын

Great question! The short answer is yes. If you use LearnDash (witandwire.com/learndash), you have the choice to add it to your current website using a plug-in OR you could create a new site under a new domain. It sounds like you’d want to use the plugin. If you add the plugin to your current WordPress site, then your LearnDash students would all be added as users to your existing site, and your courses would be part of your site’s content, built with the plugin (as you see in the video). I hope that helps.

I'm a little confused: I need a subdomain for sure. Does this mean I have to register a new domain with a domain host? Further, I'll have several different courses. Do each of these need me to set up separate domains with a domain host?

@witandwire 9 ай бұрын

Subdomains are at no additional cost. If you own the root domain, you can create subdomains for it via your domain registrar. You’d likely use one subdomain per platform, so everything under LearnWorlds would exist under one subdomain. I hope that helps.

Hello, I have a question. We have created our website with WordPress, and we wanted to create courses in WordPress. Is it fine to have courses and a website in WordPress? Or do we need to create a new account in WordPress so it doesn't have any conflict with both courses and website?

@witandwire Жыл бұрын

Great question! It’s up to you. I’ve seen business owners add a plugin like LearnDash to their primary website, but I’ve seen others use a separate website and URL. There’s not a right or wrong answer, and there are pros and cons to each. So it’s definitely possible if your preference is to have one WordPress account. (In that case, you would install a plugin like LearnDash on your existing site.)

How do you make the video from a link only viewable for paid subscribers? Wouldn't the video be public on the platform, or private and then only viewable to you? I'm not getting this part. Thanks for your help in advance!

@witandwire Ай бұрын

Great question, although it will depend which video hosting platform you choose. In general, the video will only available through your course as long as it’s set to private (or a similar label) in the video hosting platform.

Excellent review Melissa - may I ask if you recommend this plugin for WordPress over others such as Sensei? Do you use it yourself?

I don’t currently use a WordPress plugin, and admittedly I haven’t tested Sensei. You can see a full list of the independent course platforms I recommend in our free Course Creation Toolkit here: witandwire.com/coursetoolkit-youtube
