LearnDash Course Access Manager

LearnDash Course Access Manager is an official extension designed for WordPress sites that already use LearnDash as a learning platform and need finer, more granular control over who accesses each course, when, and how. It is intended for online academies, membership sites, corporate training programs, and educational institutions where access management is no longer a simple process.

This tool allows you to create and sell simple access levels and assign them to one or more courses, as well as protect pages and content that do not belong to the LearnDash ecosystem. With it, you can configure free or paid access levels, sell them via integrated PayPal, and place purchase or join buttons anywhere on your site using shortcodes. You can also charge a one-time fee or set up recurring payments, as well as auto-upgrade users to higher levels after a certain number of days.

Its most notable features include enrollment restrictions with prerequisites, custom access control rules, drip content management to control the availability sequence of lessons, permissions based on WordPress user roles, and group-level access management to administer users in bulk. Additionally, it allows you to configure the visibility of courses in catalogs and listings, set automatic expiration dates for enrollments, and log and monitor when users access courses and lessons.

The extension integrates seamlessly with LearnDash courses, lessons, topics, and quizzes, and offers compatibility with JigoShop for selling access levels. It is important to note that it is not intended to replace advanced membership plugins, but rather to complement LearnDash's native course protection features with additional basic membership capabilities.

If you manage a complex learning environment where different user groups need different access levels and enrollment paths, LearnDash Course Access Manager gives you the control you need to manage enrollments, permissions, and course visibility with precision, without leaving the WordPress ecosystem.
