Build a course from sections called Elements, add Lessons and Quizzes, and publish it: no lengthy tutorials required to get to grips with it. This free version gives you everything needed to get set up right away. If you need to deliver basic health and safety or induction training to employees, this is one of the simplest ways to do it: build your library once, and yearly refreshers and new starter inductions become routine from then on. Should you require additional features, the Pro version adds the extras found in larger academic LMS platforms. The interface looks deliberately uncluttered out of the box, but a lot of the plugin’s flexibility lives in Settings, where every visual element: sidebar, header, buttons, ticks and crosses, can be recoloured to match your own branding. It’s a genuinely lightweight, configurable platform for delivering structured training. #### Features * This free version doesn’t handle user registration or login itself, it assumes your WordPress site’s user access is already set up. * Any logged-in user automatically gets a personal dashboard and can enrol in courses. * A clean, distraction-free interface for students. * Courses are structured as Elements (sections) containing Lessons and Quizzes, with a left sidebar and Previous/Next navigation to move through them in order. * Add a quiz at the end of each Element to reinforce what was just covered, or include as many quizzes as the course needs. * Quiz feedback is configurable: a student can see whether each answer was correct after every question, as a summary at the end, or not at all. The number of retry attempts allowed is configurable too. * Any quiz can be marked as the course’s Final Test, typically the last one, with its own feedback style, retry limit and passmark. * A built-in Question & Answer panel for every lesson lets students ask questions and tutors reply, using WordPress’s own Comments system. * An automatic, pausable study timer per lesson, so a tutor can see genuine time spent, not just whether a lesson was clicked into. It automatically stops counting after 10 minutes if left running, so time isn’t credited if a student is away from their keyboard. * A student dashboard shows enrolled courses and progress at a glance, plus a wishlist for queuing courses to take later. * Tutor-side Reports give a full lesson-by-lesson and quiz-by-quiz breakdown of every student’s progress. * A tutor can reset a student’s course back to un-enrolled status at any time, useful when a retake is needed after a briefing. * Mark any user as a Tutor from their WordPress profile screen to have them appear in the course Author dropdown. * Also from the WordPress profile a user can be blocked from the dashboard and all course content, without affecting their access anywhere else on the site. * Full colour and branding control from Settings: sidebar, header, buttons, ticks and crosses, all themeable. * Uninstalling leaves your data untouched by default. Turn on one setting if you would rather remove everything from your WordPress database permanently. ## Screenshots [⌊The native course builder meta box (create the elements, lessons, quizzes and nominate the final course test).⌉⌊The native course builder meta box (create the elements, lessons, quizzes and nominate the final course test).⌉[ The native course builder meta box (create the elements, lessons, quizzes and nominate the final course test).

Select Add New 2. Search for Webpapa LMS 3. Activate Webpapa LMS from your Plugins page ## FAQ ### Does Webpapa LMS cost anything? No, Webpapa LMS is completely free. Webpapa LMS Pro is a separate, paid add-on for extras like downloadable certificates, but the free version is fully functional on its own. ### Can I sell access to my courses? Not in the free version, there’s no built-in payment or checkout. Students enrol in courses for free once logged in. Selling paid access is planned for Webpapa LMS Pro. ### Who is Webpapa LMS for? Webpapa LMS is built for small businesses that want a training portal for their own employees: streamlined and simple to use. The free version covers everything needed to run an internal training programme. If you need a full academic feature set with multiple tutors, multiple payment gateways, and a matching settings screen, that’s a different, more specialised kind of plugin, which this free version does not cater to. ### Does Webpapa LMS work with any WordPress theme? Yes. Webpapa LMS doesn’t depend on any particular theme, it uses standard WordPress templates for courses, lessons and quizzes. It’s built to integrate closely with WordPress, so it feels like a native part of your site rather than a bolted-on add- on. ### Is Webpapa LMS easy to install and remove? Yes. Install and activate it like any other WordPress plugin, no configuration required to get started. If you ever want to remove it, there’s a “Delete all data the next time this plugin is deleted” option in Settings, switch that on first and Webpapa LMS will clean up everything it created: courses, lessons, quizzes, enrolment records and settings, leaving your WordPress installation exactly as it was before. It’s off by default, so nothing is removed unless you choose to. ### What’s the difference between Webpapa LMS and Webpapa LMS Pro? The free version covers everything needed to build and present a course library: courses, lessons and quizzes, with detailed reports on student progress and the ability to reset courses and quizzes on demand. Webpapa LMS Pro then adds extras such as downloadable certificates, while keeping the same straightforward interface. ### Does Webpapa LMS handle user logins and access control? Not directly, the free version assumes your site already handles user registration and login the normal WordPress way. Any logged-in user can reach their LMS dashboard and start taking a course. If you need tighter control over who can access your training content, Webpapa LMS Pro adds a dedicated access layer built on WordPress’s own security features. ### Does Webpapa LMS have its own course builder? No. Webpapa LMS sticks with WordPress’s own post screens and standard meta boxes to structure and manage a course, rather than a separate custom builder. ### Will I receive updates? The core is built to be lean and stable, so at this basic level there’s often nothing that needs changing. That said, WordPress itself evolves, and the occasional bug fix or compatibility tweak is inevitable over time. Whenever an update is needed, or a worthwhile small feature comes along, it’ll be released, always free, for the lifetime of the free version. ### Why doesn’t the free version include certificates? A certificate builder is a significant amount of code for what it does. In many workplaces, training just needs to be tracked, not certificated. Where it does matter, for competency sign-off, PQQs, or reassuring clients that training is current, Webpapa LMS Pro adds this as a dedicated feature: certificates are issued automatically on successful course completion, a tutor can choose which courses offer one, and each certificate carries a unique reference that third parties can check for validation. ### Can students ask questions during a course? Yes, the free version handles this using WordPress’s own Comments system. Each lesson has a Q&A panel where a student can ask a question; it shows up for the tutor in the normal wp-admin Comments screen, where they can reply directly, no separate messaging system to manage. ### Is there any lesson tracking? Yes. Each lesson has an automatic timer that starts as soon as the page opens, and can be paused if the student steps away, so it only counts genuine study time. This records how long a student has spent on each lesson, which the tutor can see in Reports, useful for gauging real engagement rather than just whether a lesson was viewed. ### Is Webpapa LMS open source? Yes, like any properly licensed WordPress plugin, the free version is fully GPL. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Webpapa LMS” is open source software.
