It might be nice to have a couple of free classes on the demos so that we can actually test :)

Please try with sample credit card details shared in the checkout page. example

Please, include something like: P2P (peer-to-peer) activities

There is a whole activity module in WPLMS wherein users can interact via activity. Please share more details on this, we’re interested in adding more details if required.

In moodle there is a module called Workshop, in which students must upload an activity, such as a task, but instead of the teacher qualifying it, the system automatically sends that task to one or more students for evaluation.

In pedagogy it is called co-evaluation, or peer-to-peer evaluation.

In this video, from the minute 10:51 she talk about the co-evaluation: https://www.ted.com/talks/daphne_koller_what_we_re_learning_from_online_education?language=es#t-639895

It is an extremely useful form of evaluation in the social sciences or where the answers are not closed or exact as in mathematics for example.

Thanks for sharing the video. Currently, peer review can only be done via forums. If we can plan a full feature on this it would be great, if you can share more light on how we can achieve it, we might add it. The starting point could be the assignments.

1. I cannot find the “Add new” course link/menu in the frontend. 2. What page to use for “Buddydrive”? Do I need to create one, if so, how? 3. Is it possible to force new members to choose a payment plan before/when they sign up? 4. Is it possible to try different demo themes after installation, If so, How to change?

and then some error: When I edit a course and click/switch between “Visual” and Text” in the text-area, the area get’s all white – and the text disappear.

Thank you for the help

It is styling in the child theme, check this link for more options.

OK. Sorry…. But I don’t get this to work. Think I need some support or jelp with this. Thanks

Please post this in our support forums, refer link

i have few questions. 1. Course register : is it available my customer register their own course? 2. Course register : I’ve seen screenshot of registering course, i will make a japanese site. can I translate guidance of registering course?

1. Yes it is possible.
2. Yes, we have many Japanese users using WPLMS and it can be fully translated.

Hii..i got a few questions 1. Can i make students who enroll to a course to select the instructor? 2. Can i make some kind of subscription fee for instructor?

Thanks

1. Possible by using our addon “Wplms batches” refer link
2. Comin up in upgrade of Wplms woocommerce plugin releasing this week, I will share the link to the tutorial as soon as it is released.

Hi, when I look at your one instructor demo ( http://themes.vibethemes.com/wplms/skins/oneinstructor/all-courses-instructor/ ), when I scroll down, the menu becomes completely white (I am using Chrome). Can you fix this bug?

And here is a table showing the result of a complete test that I did on your demo: http://www.phylacterecola.com/strob/wplmsTest/WPLMSdemoTest.jpg

You can see that only the One Instructor has no bug at all. All the other have some problems but I understand that they are just setup problems and not really bugs that prevent you theme to work. So I will buy it soon it’s really the best theme for this usage! I will still like if you could correct those installation problems on the demos cause we can’t check the course navigation if we can’t use the sample credit card…

Thank you for sharing detailed report. I will try to resolve them soon.

Hi! How are you doing? Did you have time to resolve them?

Hi,

A few question to enquire, not sure if the system is unable to handle this currently or i missed the setting.

1. Free course. I realise when users, be it administrator, instructor, or registered students click on free course, the student count automatically increase by 1. Is it able to change this to only when user click start course then the counter increase by 1?

2. Finished course. When a user revisit finished course, after evaluation from instructor or administrator. There is no notice on that specific course page, is it possible to input some message when validated that course is completed by student? (e.g course is completed, view your stats or certificate here.)

3. Evaluation. Understand that to have auto-evaluation, there must be at least a quiz in course. Is it possible to auto-evaluate 100 marks for zero-quiz course?

Problems: 4. Front-end course creation. I can’t find any certificate template when there is, during the front-end course creation with instructor role.

5. Certificate. The print & pdf button is not visible, though the option is on.

6. Certificate. [CERTIFICATE_STUDENT_DATE] when used, the date is not grabbed. Show the shortcode instead.

Look forward to your reply. Thanks

Please create a support topic on this and we’ll check this issue right now on your site. Share the link with me once you’ve created the topic in our forums.

Thanks, we’re working on the topic.

Hi @VibeThemes,

Please reserve a minute and answer my questions from the comments above. Thank you!

Replied on comment :)

I am trying to install the theme and the following is the error I am getting. Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function is_embed() in /xxx/xxxx/xxxxx/xxxxx//wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/includes/class-wc-template-loader.php:45 Stack trace: #0 /xxxxxx/xxxxx/xxx/wp-includes/plugin.php(213): WC_Template_Loader::template_loader(‘xxxx/xxxx/xxxx/xxxxx/...’) #1 xxx/xxx/xxx/xxx/xxx//wp-includes/template-loader.php(73): apply_filters(‘template_includ…’, ’/xxx/xxx/xxxx/xxx/...’) #2 xxx/xxx/x/xx/xwp-blog-header.php(16): require_once(’/xxx/xxxx/xxxx/...’) #3 xxxx/xxxx/xxxx/xxxxx/xxxxx/xxxxxx/xxxx/index.php(17): require(’/xxx/xxxx/xxxx/xxxx/...’) #4 {main} thrown in xxxxx/xxxxx/xxx/xxx/xxxx/xxxxx/xxxxx/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/includes/class-wc-template-loader.php on line 45

Can you please let me know what is going on here?

The error is coming up form the core WooCommerce files and the error is reported in a core WordPress functions. Please login to your site via cpanel and make sure WordPress is properly installed in your site. Also make sure the permissions of wp-content folder is set to 755 and files is set to 644. Also check if your database is optimized and not crashed.

as requested created request for feature

http://vibethemes.com/documentation/wplms/forums/topic/to-add-number-of-courses-along-with-instructor-in-course-directory-filter/

can you please add this in trello and reply with the trello link.

Thanks

This is already released. There is anew setting in the widget to display number of courses along with category and instructor.

I setup the theme in my local machine with SAMPLE DATA. Everything was fine. But now the front page slider is not appearing. Some of the plugins showed Ajax issues while installing.

Also the menus are missing. It says “SETUP MENUS IN ADMIN PANEL”

The menus need to be rebuilt, this happens because the demo has some pages and links which are not imported because the feature was not active. For example : The demo has link to Forums, public and private, but in case you did not activate the forum feature in the site setup wizard the menu will have blank entities which causes this type of issue in the menus. We’re trying to fix this issue in our updates and replace them with valid links.

I think I enabled all the features. Do I have to rebuild the menu manually or is there a workaround?

I am sure you will not be using the standard menus anyways, so its best to build the menu again.

Can a student can create quiz for his/her after choosing questions from a category

We just got a similar request in our forums, I will be sharing a custom shortcode for this.

A presales questions, Can I categories academic years so that I can have different levels of education? I can only see course. I would like something like this, High School> Year 1 > Biology + Physics + Chemistry College> Year 4> Complex Analysis+ Macroeconomics + Java Programming

Level of education> Academic Year> Courses > Units

Such that a student can purchase Year one and get all units under the courses.

I really have no idea what this is (Make sure you’re creating the topic in “support” and not in “general” or “feature requests”)

Support has replied on the topic.

presales question … can i create several courses but seel them under a single membership? Example – 4 courses but all tied to a single membership/woocommerce purchase?

Yes it is possible. There are two ways you can do this : 1. Course bundle, create a product which gives access to 4 courses at once.
2. Create a membership and connect 4 courses with the membership.
The difference between membership and bundle is that while a bundle is a one time sale, in memberships you can add more courses which the users will get automatic access.

Hi,

I have some questions before purchasing.

I have a student database that will need to be constantly updated because some students stay and some students go. How to manage this on your WPLMS.

1. Do I need to bulk upload all current students each week? If yes, then what would happen to the existing students comments on assignments? Would it overwrite them?

2. Also, what would happen with students who have left? Would it delete them and make their comments hidden?

3. Also, is there a way to sync the student database with my inhouse software such as Workday.com ?

Thanks and best

Every course in WPLMS maintains two things for users : User Status and Membership status. A User status is the status like user started course, user completed course, a membership status is like user is active on course and user’s access to course is removed. So, I am assuming that when users leave it is identical to user go into the expired state and you do not need to remove them from the courses. No there is no way to sync with WorkDay, you can however bulk import the users into courses.

Thanks for the prompt reply.

When we bulk import users into WPLMS, is there a CSV template with predefined fields that we can use? Some of the important fields that I would need are: first name, last name, email, membership status.

Yes, refer this tutorial, you can add bulk users via CSV to multiple courses, with course and membership statuses. If the user does not exist, the importer would automatically create the user and add it to the courses.

Thanks for sharing the link, support is working on it. Today’ we’re working on the update, so the support is a bit slow. Thanks for patience.

I have one question. How to clean up courses and units ? I think that includes quiz and assignments. After a while, instructors delete courses but deleting courses leave units in the system. So, those units become standalone not belonging to any courses. Is there any way to identify those units effectively and delete from the system ?

Like clicking a button and show us a list of units without attached to any courses and we can go ahead and delete those units. Thanks.

I would stick to original WooCommerce plugins, like product vendors instead of third party vendors. We have almost all the WooCommerce plugins so we can test them and help you better.

Thank you for your feedback. Our problem is we want users to be able to upload their products from front-end and the original woocommerce plugin doesn’t support such feature I think. That’s why we are coming to the conclusion of using 3rd party plugin. One thing we are only worried is the plugin might crash or have some sort of conflicts with WPLMS Courses because it uses woocommerce as well.

You do not need to worry about that. WPLMS uses WooCommerce from the outside, we’re using the recommended approach as mentioned by WooCommerce which is why it is compatible with majority of WooCommerce plugins. In case conflicts occur, we’ll try our best to help you out if the issue can be resolved from WPLMS code.

for offline courses, how to remove clock and time in curriculum

Thanks

You’ll need to use CSS for this, can you post this request in forums we’ll give you the fix.

How can I add click meeting embed code to unit? When I add it shows nothing on unit page :(

Are you using any plugin for this ? Can you share a sample code with me ?

no its just a simple embed code like youtube. It works with standart pages but not with units. <script type=”text/javascript” src=”https://embed.clickmeeting.com/embed_conference.html?r=175627671016536&w=1024&h=768”></script>

If you can post this in the support forums, I can prepare and give you a shortcode for this. The shoertcode would only require you to add the conference ID and it will work as expected.

Hello,

I know we had a private conversation on email but I must ask you this, as it’s a very important aspect for me: You say this theme offers front-end adding course for Instructors / teachers but then I tested it, I ended in accessing the wordpress admin area. Why is that? I need instructors to register themselves and create courses without accessing wordpress admin area. Also, how are commissions established? Is there a way to setup different commissions for different instructors? Something like… levels, depending on the skills / certificates that instructors have?

Also, when logged in as Instructor (Napoleon Hill), I clicked on an expired course and then clicked on “Click to renew” button and nothing happens, the page just refreshes and that’s all.

Also, is it normal for instructors to be able to take courses?

Also #2. On macbook > Safari, when viewing profile (Napoleon Hill) there is a horizontal infinite scroll. I’m pretty sure that’s a bug and I wanted to highlight this as I know you plan to release the update this week. Maybe you’ll squish that bug also.

Also #3. In the menu, here: http://vibethemes.com/demo/wplms/members/amit/ under Pages > Buddypress > there are two buttons for members. The first, opens a blank page, the second, opens the correct page of all buddypress members, but when I click “Add friend” nothing happens. If I open a member’s profile, there isn’t any “Add friend” button. So, how can I add friends?

Also #4. The blue message box in Private Forum, that’s under Private: Private: Private Forum, displays some white link-text on the light blue background and that’s pretty useless as nobody can read that.

Also #5. The menu is not responding very well when you are at the top of the page and position the cursor over Courses. When you take the cursor out, the drop-down menu is still there but half displayed and it’s quite annoying. It gives a feeling of buggy website.

Also #6. I’m not sure, but the whole “Notes and Discussion” area feels like it’s not working correctly. It feels like there are some bugs. I click to edit a discussion and the field becomes editable but there is no button to save the modifications.

Hope that my comment is constructive and you will consider it. I’m waiting for a reply from you as I became a little skeptic about the stability and bugs in WPLMS. Still looking forward to buy it though :D

Please give me some time to reply on this, we’re working on the update. I will reply on this as soon as we release the update (in hours now).

Congrats on the update! Sad to notice that there isn’t any new demo version or new features added, but this product is an awesome product already. :)

Got another question: The Batches plugin that you sell separately (29$) is a similar feature like “For Enterprise” Coursera.com uses? Eg: https://www.coursera.org/enterprise

By the way, the drop-down menu still have some buggy feel. It drops down ok, but sometimes, when you move the cursor from the menu, just a half of the menu disappears. You can replicate the bug here: http://themes.vibethemes.com/wplms/skins/demo6/course/basic-of-nature-photography/ Move the cursor over “Courses” , then move it over “Blog”.

Thank you and still waiting for your answers to my questions from above.

Kind regards,

We’ve already prepared new demos and will be releasing this week. Yes that is correct. Thanks for reporting I will check this, note this weird behaviour is actually connected to a safari bug which is why we need to add CSS to bypass this bug, my assumption is that this should be fixed in safari updates.
