This is an independent plugin by LmsCrafter, not affiliated with or endorsed by LearnDash. LearnDash LMS is required and is not included. The plugin supports: * A single learner or many learners. * A single course or many courses. * Exact learner and course combinations. * LearnDash group and WordPress role selections. * One-time, daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly schedules. * Optional direct-course unenrollment. * Downloadable pre-reset impact reports. * CSV reference export and controlled CSV reset import. * Separate course-progress, quiz-attempt, and assignment controls. * Frontend self-reset, group-leader management, or approval requests. * Learner archive history with course progress, quiz attempts, and certificate links. * Administrator archive reports and filtering-ready CSV files. * Reset and request email notifications. #### Safety Vault Every real reset first creates an integrity-checked snapshot. Authorized administrators can restore the affected course progress, quiz attempts and statistics, graded essays, LearnDash activity records, direct course access, and course assignments during the configured retention period. Selected assignments and essays are held in a private Safety Vault status so their files and feedback remain available for restoration. Retention is adjustable from 1 to 90 days and defaults to 30 days. The Safety Vault is a database snapshot, not an encrypted backup. Protect WordPress database backups and limit administrator access appropriately. #### Lightweight by design The backend uses WordPress-native markup, a small vanilla JavaScript file, and a small CSS file. It adds no frontend framework, page builder dependency, remote admin asset, tracking script, or background queue. ### Shortcodes ``` [lmsc_progress_reset] displays the current learner's direct reset or request form, according to plugin settings. [lmsc_progress_reset mode="manage" button_text="Reset progress"] displays the permitted management form for an administrator or group leader. [lmsc_progress_archive] displays the current learner's archive history. ``` ## Screenshots [⌊Choose learners and narrow the course scope.

Download an impact preview before the first production reset. ## FAQ ### Does it delete courses, lessons, topics, or learners? No. It resets selected learner records. Selected assignment and essay posts are held in a private Safety Vault status until restoration or expiry; they are not sent through WordPress Trash cleanup. ### What happens to learners whose progress is already zero? They are excluded from the affected-record count unless matching quiz attempts or assignments exist, or direct-course unenrollment is selected and applicable. ### Can group leaders reset every learner on the site? No. Group leaders are restricted to learner-course combinations that intersect with groups they lead. Administrators retain full access. ### Does unenrollment remove group access? No. The unenroll option removes direct course access. LearnDash group membership continues to control group-based access. ### Are scheduled resets guaranteed to run at the exact second? Schedules use WordPress Cron. On a low-traffic site, configure a real server cron to call WordPress Cron regularly. ### Is Safety Vault data encrypted? No. Snapshots are compressed and integrity-checked, but not encrypted. They follow the configured retention period and integrate with WordPress personal-data export and erasure tools. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “LmsCrafter Progress Reset & Restore for LearnDash” is open source software.
