Course Access Extender for LearnDash<\/strong> solves a common gap in the LearnDash + WooCommerce integration and adds a complete student management dashboard.<\/p>\n\n

\n

Disclaimer:<\/strong> This plugin is an independent third-party tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by LearnDash or its parent company. \"LearnDash\" is a trademark of its respective owner. This plugin is simply designed to be compatible with the LearnDash LMS plugin.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Core Fix<\/h4>\n\n

If a student buys a Course Extension product before<\/strong> their current access has expired, LearnDash does not extend the access correctly \u2014 it either resets or ignores it. This plugin intercepts the order and adds the extension days on top of the existing expiry.<\/p>\n\n

Example:<\/strong> Student has 30 days left \u2192 buys 90-day extension \u2192 gets 30 + 90 = 120 more days. \u2705<\/p>\n\n

Students Dashboard<\/h4>\n\n

A new Students<\/strong> tab under WooCommerce \u2192 Course Access Extender lets you:<\/p>\n\n

    \n
  • View all enrolled students with their course, expiry date, days remaining, and status (Active \/ Expired).<\/li>\n
  • Filter by course, status (active\/expired), expiry window, enrollment date range, or search by name\/email.<\/li>\n
  • Sort by student name or expiry date.<\/li>\n
  • Adjust any student's expiry date<\/strong> directly from the table with a date picker.<\/li>\n
  • View a student's full purchase history<\/strong> in a modal \u2014 showing all course-related orders with dates, products, quantities, totals, and order status.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

    Activity Log<\/h4>\n\n

    A full audit trail of every access grant, extension, admin adjustment, and profile change with filters for course, action type, keyword search, and date range.<\/p>\n\n
