 * Hi Sensei LMS Team,
 * First of all, love your plugin. It’s a fantastic tool to create all kinds of 
   courses and learning programs.
 * Here’s my problem: there is a page with slug ‘courses’ that exists on my site.
   It is at: domain.com/courses/
 * I need to edit this page.
 * However, when I go to ‘Pages’ in my WordPress dashboard, this page does not exist.
   Here is a screenshot for you to see: [https://enrollmentmasterclass.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/screenshot-pages.png](https://enrollmentmasterclass.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/screenshot-pages.png).
    - Where is this page?
    - How does it exist on the server, but doesn’t exist in my WP pages overview?
    - How can I edit it, or replace it?
 * Thank you for your help!
 * Robert

 * Hi there, [@robertmista](https://wordpress.org/support/users/robertmista/),
 * Thanks a lot for your positive feedback! We love that you are enjoying Sensei
   so far. Now onto your question:
 * > there is a page with slug ‘courses’ that exists on my site. It is at: domain.
   > com/courses/
   > I need to edit this page.
 * The page with the slug ‘courses’ that you’re seeing is being dynamically generated
   by the Sensei LMS plugin, which is why it doesn’t appear in the Pages section
   of your WordPress dashboard.
 * Pages like these are actually handled by a custom post type or through a “virtual
   page” created by the plugin, instead of being a traditional WordPress page.
 * To edit that, you can work on the course archive page as follows:
 * 1. Create a new page – you can call it anything you like. In the new page, you
   should ensure it is blank with no templates applied to it.
 * 2. Then, navigate to Sensei LMS > Settings > Courses. Here, you can select the
   page you just created in the ‘Course Archive Page’ setting and save. This will
   replace the default /courses URL with this new page.
 * 3. Now you will find this ‘courses’ page in your WordPress pages, and you can
   edit it like any other WordPress page.
 * Please note that this might likely overwrite the structure of the course page
   as set up by Sensei LMS. You would then need to try adding the Sensei shortcodes
   to ensure your course still shows up on this page. You can test and add the `[
   sensei_courses]` shortcode in your ‘courses’ page to show all your courses. This
   shortcode outputs your course loop.
 * Hope that’s all clear! Let me know how it goes, and if you get stuck at any step,
   just let us know, and we’ll be glad to help.

 * Hi Stef,
 * Thank you very much for taking the time to write such a detailed reply, This 
   makes a lot of sense now.
 * Especially knowing that the /courses/ page is actually the ‘Courses Archive Page’.
 * I think I know now how to customize it to how I need it.
 * Thanks again!
 * Robert
