You’ll get eligible all the updates. There is no time or number constraint on updates. And the best part all the updates are automatic , you just need to click on the update button

Hi,
I get your point. We have question tags for every question, so there is a provision in the theme using which this can be achieved. But this is a lot of custom work and as of now Sections can not be created in a quiz, so this is not possible as of now.

Tried a few minutes later and it solved itself. Not sure why it didn’t work initially

The Start Course page worked. Thanks! I’m liking this theme a lot so far. I want to add a second vote @metalforever. Would also like to integrate with BadgeOS and start building some gamification elements.

Great. If you face any issues, you can create a support request in our support forums

Let me know if you need more…

1. Is it possible to make a course of the event or webinar?

2. is it possible to sell a digital goods in a shop? Example: digital books or card.
3. Whether the user can invite friends from social media?
4. Can instructors to sell their products in the Market?

My Recommendations
1. Make a module that will motivate users to invite friends. For example http://flocktory.com/
2. Make a recommendation search service courses. For example, use an algorithm http://mahout.apache.org/
3. Make an affiliate program White Label. This will significantly expand the horizons of partnership.

1. Events is currently not inbuilt in WPLMS. But it will be available in future updates.
2. You can embed youtube/vimeo videos in any unit using the shortcode generator.
3. This not inbuilt in the theme but you may be able to use a BuddyPress plugin for this.
4. Yes.
Thanks for suggestions

Hi,
This Feature is called as Drip Feed. In a drip feed course each successive unit unlocks for the student after a certain period of time. So, the student can not complete a 10 day course in 1 single day, because to go to next unit a student has to wait for a certain time duration and to complete the course all units needs to marked as complete.This is an inbuilt feature in WPLMS. You can enable drip feed for a course and enter the time duration among units to unlock.
Yes, you can combine multiple courses and sell them as a single product. This product can be both One time buy or subscription type.
Thanks for notifying, will check this.

1. No. This is custom subscription inbuilt the WPLMS package.
2. This is currently in our feature list and coming up next updates.
3. Any WooCommerce Affiliate plugin will work with this theme.

Hi, The instructor commission has now been implemented. Check this out : http://vibethemes.com/envato/wplms/instructor-commissions/

Yes, all the payments are actually paid to Administrators account.
The administrator can calculate commissions for each instructor using the above feature and send out payments.

Yes i got it now ! Thanks for your prompt reply. Can instructor create a Quiz and sale like the course ? And get the commission for that ? Can you give me a temporary instructor access ?

No. Only courses can be for sale. You can use the Instructor credentials given in the Item Front page.

Hi,
I would need some clarification on classes. We use course and units. Assuming classes = course, here are my answers:
1. Yes, Free course feature is inbuilt in the theme. Free courses are accessible to all the students in a course. Each course can be connected to multiple products, so you can have one product which sells the whole course and another product for the same product which sells it as a subscription and the student gets access to it for a limited period of time. You can also sell a combination of courses in a single product which can be sold individually or as a subscription for all the connected courses. Refer to this screenshot for more clarifty: http://goo.gl/3dGQGa

2. Yes, you can do all three at a time.

3. Yes. You can hide them from Settings->BuddyPress->Components

4. This feature will be available in the next version.

5. Check the next version with this fix..

6. This is a manual process. The demo shows a simple form which sends an email to the Administrator that someone want to be an Instructor. After this the admin manually changes the role of the user from student to Instructor and then she gets access to course creation and evaluation etc..

7. Yes and No, this means they get access to the course for 4 weeks. There is a maximum duration of the course which is larger than this say: 150 days. The course goes in expired status the course is not completed within the stipulated time limit, which is minimum of the above two values.
“No”, because it depends upon the course type. If the course is a drip feed course, which puts a restriction when the next unit will be available. The subscriber can not complete a course in 4 weeks. However, if the course is not a drip feed course then the course “can” be completed within 4 weeks.

Hi, Direct checkout implemented. Test here: http://vibethemes.com/demo/wplms/course/software-training/

We’re in touch with LearnDash on this. So, this is definitely in our queue.

Hi, use the instructor credentials given in the themeforest front page.

Hi,
1. Live Events: There are multiple aspects to this. Live classes would involve real time relay servers, which goes out of the scope of the theme. You may look for an alternate solution like private Google hangouts which can be embedded in units using plugins. Each course is extendable, so you can add units to a course at any point of time. Units can be termed “FREE” units which are accessible to everyone.
Other than this, we’re working on an events plugin for WPLMS, this plugin would seamlessly integrate with WPLMS courses.
2. Yes, thanks for suggestion. Adding this to feature request.
3. This is a customization request.
4. This is inbuilt in the Theme. Login as instructor, go to your Course -> Admin -> Members section. Click on the stats icon for the student to see the status of the student.
5. This is already added as feature request in our queue.
Thanks

Thank you for the detailed responses.

Hi, The feature for instructor commissions has now been implemented. http://vibethemes.com/envato/wplms/instructor-commissions/

As of now No. But we already have this in our Feature requests list.

Front end course creation is now live, you may want to check it out on the instructor demo

No, WPLMS quiz system works on WordPress Custom Post types. The quiz plugin you’ve mentioned above, sets up 10 database tables in WP and stores information in a custom format. Throughout WPLMS we’ve followed the standard WordPress/BuddyPress architecture and used the inbuilt classes, functions and queries, because WordPress db queries are secure, faster and optimized.

Thank you. So, there is no way existing quiz/questions can be imported? We have to manually create new questions?

Our existing system has multiple quiz each with 100+ questions. The wp-quiz-pro has compatible XML format that many other quiz plugins readily support.

I understand that there is no need for WMPLMS to be compatible with the plugin – but it should be able to provide import features for importing quizes from existing plugins, I believe. Otherwise, creating everything from scratch would be impossible. If such importers are provided with compatibility for existing plugins, we can easily move to this new WMPLMS system.

Hi,
Yes, I get your point. We’re working on an add-on plugin which will facilitate admin to import questions into WPLMS from a CSV type format.

No, Instructor has limited access and certainly can not access WordPress settings. I might have missed this in the demo video. You can try logging in as instructor in the new demo created specifically for this. The details are given on Themeforest front page.

Thank you – will try.

Hi,
1. Yes, this is a feature of BuddyPress 1.9, you can have any number of fields. Fields can also be combined into field groups, you can set required status, type of field {text, textarea, checkbox, radio}.
2. We are open to ideas and these are some nice suggestions.
3. Yes. Refer to these two pages : Course stats and Admin Stats
4. This is possible but this would require a lot of customizations and the road in this field would never end. I would suggest using Google analytics for tracking these.
5. We’re working on integrating courses made with Articulate storyline and Scorm Packages. So, work is currently under progress in this area.
6. As of now all activity is stored in Buddypress Activity. An Instructor can see activity of students in her course. Apart form this, the rest like country, state, city, mobile would require custom work as the fields for each WPLMS setup would be different.
7. This is again custom work as SMS gateways are different for different countries and is outside the purview of theme development.

No, but you can test the Instructor interface details are given in the Themeforest front page.

No, but we have a Filterable posts section which allows you to create courses or any other CPT with filters, example: http://vibethemes.com/demo/wplms/filterable-courses/

that’s exactly what i meant. thanks! great theme – full of features. will buy soon

Thanks !
