 * Hello dear Masteriyo, As a masteriyo lms user, Im so happy to see Masteriyo is
   becoming more beautiful and modern quickly day by day both the lms and the website
   of Masteriyo.
 * Since there is no video tutorial available yet, i like to know how to use some
   of the new updates and to understand their concepts. So if it’s possible to guide
   me with answers or screenshots or screenrecorsing, I’d be thankful.
    1.  Could you please show me how to activate this feature and use it and how it
        looks like? Feature – Added ‘View as Student’ option for admins and instructors
        to preview the student experience.Feature
    2.  I don’t understand this: – Exposed full CRUD abilities for Course, Section,
        Lesson, Quiz, Question, Enrollment, Order, User, and Settings via the WP Abilities
        API.Enhancement
    3.  How do these work: any screen recording to understand with a test example :–
        Added email settings and notifications for lesson comments/replies and Q&A.
    4.  I love it, how to activate and configure it? – Added ‘Auto Redirect to Courses’
        option in WooCommerce integration settings.Enhancement
    5.  I don’t understand this: how is it: – Improved UX for chat input fields by 
        replacing text input with textarea and enhancing message formatting
    6.  Does it mean asking for password to download pdf?.Security – Added authorization
        check for Invoice PDF access.
    7.  Samir gave me css codes in past and they are in the addictional css, what this
        feature will do to them? Fix – Enqueued public.css on course bundle and public
        profile pages.
    8.  I don’t understand this: – Added masteriyo-notice-link class to admin notice
        links.
    9.  Where is it and how to use it? Fix – Fixed review replies not appearing in 
        user details edit review. [PRO]Fix
    10. The Gradebook feature needs a good video tutorial because we don’t know how
        to use it: – Scoped gradebook queries to current user and guarded against bulk
        deletion.
    11. I love it, so it means now we can use Masteriyo lms on Servers and hosts which
        have server lscache on them and webserver is litespeed? If yes, does it need
        any configuration in Masteriyo? Fix – Resolved stale cache served after AJAX
        login on account page with LiteSpeed Cache.

 * Hi [@derlehre](https://wordpress.org/support/users/derlehre/),
 * Thank you so much for your kind words — it truly means a lot to the entire team!
   We are glad to hear you are staying so closely engaged with our updates. Let 
   us walk you through each of your questions based on verified information from
   our changelog and documentation.
    1.  View as Student
        This feature is available directly inside the Course Editor.
        Once you open any course from the backend, you will find the “Demo Student 
        Preview” button at the top of the editor page, located near the Preview button.
        Clicking it allows you to see exactly what a student experiences when accessing
        that course, without needing a separate student account.
    2.  CRUD via WP Abilities API
        This is a developer-focused feature that allows developers
        to create, read, update, and delete Masteriyo data such as courses, lessons,
        quizzes, enrollments, orders, and users through the WordPress REST API. If 
        you are not a developer, this will not affect your day-to-day use. It simply
        opens the door for custom integrations and third-party tools to connect with
        Masteriyo more seamlessly.
    3.  Email Notifications for Lesson Comments and Q&A
        You can manage these from Masteriyo
        > Settings > Emails. You will find new notification options for when a student
        posts a comment on a lesson or asks a question in the Q&A section. You can 
        control who receives these notifications, whether that is the admin, instructor,
        or student, and customize the email content directly from there.
    4.  Auto Redirect to Courses after WooCommerce Purchase
        As confirmed in our previous
        response, you can enable this from Masteriyo > Settings > Integrations > WooCommerce.
        Once enabled, students will be automatically redirected to their enrolled course
        as soon as their WooCommerce order is marked as complete.
    5.  Improved Chat Input Fields
        This is a small but helpful improvement to the user
        experience. The message input box in the Q&A and lesson comment areas has been
        updated from a single-line text box to a larger textarea, making it easier 
        for students and instructors to type longer messages comfortably. There is 
        nothing to configure — you will simply notice the improved input area when 
        using those sections.
    6.  Authorization Check for Invoice PDF
        This is a background security improvement
        that ensures only the rightful owner of an invoice can download it. For example,
        a student can only access their own invoice PDF and not someone else’s. No 
        configuration is needed — it works automatically to keep your platform secure.
    7.  Public.css and Your Existing Custom CSS
        Your existing custom CSS is completely
        safe. This fix simply ensures that Masteriyo’s own stylesheet now loads correctly
        on the Course Bundle and Public Profile pages, where it was previously missing.
        You may notice those pages looking slightly more consistent as a result. Your
        custom code in Additional CSS remains completely untouched.
    8.  masteriyo-notice-link Class
        This is a behind-the-scenes technical improvement
        for developers. It adds a consistent CSS class to links inside WordPress admin
        notices generated by Masteriyo, making them easier to style or target. As a
        regular user, no action is required on your end.
    9.  Review Replies in User Details — PRO
        This fix ensures that when an admin or
        instructor replies to a student’s review, the reply now correctly appears inside
        the student’s detail page on the backend. You can verify this by going to Masteriyo
        > Students, opening a student’s profile, and viewing their review history. 
        Since this is a PRO feature, please reach out to us via live chat at [https://masteriyo.com/](https://masteriyo.com/)
        for hands-on assistance.
    10. Gradebook
        This fix ensures that each user’s gradebook data is properly scoped
        to their own account and that bulk deletion is handled more safely to prevent
        accidental data loss. We completely agree that the Gradebook deserves a full
        video walkthrough and appreciate you highlighting this. We will pass your feedback
        along to the team. In the meantime, please feel free to ask us any specific
        questions and we will be happy to guide you step by step.

 * Thanks for your help dear [@shresthauzwal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shresthauzwal/)
 * Amazing progress. Bravo Masteriyo team. Now the Lms has almost everything except
   a few features that are considered core features and other lms plugins already
   have them. I’m mentioning them below.
 * These are really necessary to be in Masteriyo Lms since communication and ease
   of it is No1 in the concept if online teaching: direct Messages between student
   and the teacher is not available in Masteriyo. It should be available and needs
   to have a dedicated tab in the account page. Same thing for lesson comments and
   q&a in the student account page(profile). for example when a student asks a question
   in the comment section of a lesson, the teacher should be able to answer that
   easily from masteiyo dashboard or a tab in Masteriyo dashboard and for the Direct
   Messages too(the student see the Teacher’s answer in his account page.
 * Q&A of the courses is not specific enough because it’s for the whole course. 
   Each course can have many lessons. When a student asks a question, the teacher
   will face some difficulty to answer that, since it’s not clear that this question
   of the student is for which lesson specifically so that the teacher answer according
   to that lesson.
 * Emails Settings and Templates: They should be updated as well in Masteriyo since
   the other lms plugins have a very easy and full beautiful customizable email 
   settings.
 * Password eye icon. All lms websites and plugins already have the eye icon so 
   that the user see and make sure about the password he writes. Masteriyo doesn’t
   have it yet. It’s very important for ux.
 * social media userbases in account page: As a teacher, i wanna add those students
   who are enrolled in my course to the telegram channel that i created for that
   course so that they download lessons to use them offline since offline mide is
   not available in Masteriyo. To do that, i need the student’s username on Social
   media and the best way to have that and verify that it is really for that student,
   there should be a field or some fields for the students to add his social media
   userbase in Masteriyo account page like the address field etc.
 * Files by link: online course websites usually have many students and this uses
   many resources of the Server(vps) or Dedicated Server. Course featured video,
   Pdf lessons, course attachments and almost any other file in Masteriyo must have
   both self-host and also by link to use a separate download host and make the 
   main website less heavy.
 * Customizable text size in Learn page: The classic editor of wordpress is not 
   strong enough and doesn’t have the feature to make the text size bigger or smaller.
   The Guternberg editor is still not having an option to set the font sizeand line
   spacing as default. So having a button to learn page for the student can help
   him make the text bigger and easier to see. Same thing for the teacher.
 * Audio and Video lessons and text interactive: This feature was in Masterstudy
   lms and i really liked it. Undeer the video and audio lessons we can put text
   and timestamps and the student by clicking on the text will hear that part of
   the video or audio lesson.
 * Buy now or start course button: it’s possible to hide the course button in the
   courses page and single course page but It’s still not possible to do it in homepage
   in Masteriyo and its themes.
 * Course Layouts: Most of the lms plugins have more than 6 course layouts for the
   courses in homepage, course page and single course page. Masteriyo needs and 
   update for that.
 * Dynamic account menu: Almost all the lms plugins even in their old themes have
   this beautiful feature of Dynamic account icon in the header of the website which
   shows the student profile image and by clicking on it, a small menu will be opened
   and has the dashboard, q&a, messages and logout button. I like Masteriyo to add
   that.
 * Layouts for account page: 90% of the lms plugins have 3 Layouts for the account
   page: minimal, modern etc.
 * Registration and login page: Like other plugins, Masteriyo needs to have a beautiful
   modern minimalist registration and login page in which there is rectangular banner
   above the registration and login page.
 * Blog page: The blog page in Masteriyo themes is very very basic and this is making
   it look outdated comparing to other lms themes. A small update for that can make
   a big change in ui and ux.
 * Mobile responsive: I checked the famous lms plugins, they were easy to manage
   lms and create courses and quizzes by them in mobile and also this was making
   the process of management and course creation so much faster than Computer and
   laptop because phones are lighter, quicker and more handy and have alsmot everything.
 * Video tutorials: Im this regard, not only Masteriyo but also other lms plugins
   do not have new videos about the core updated feature as well as the new features.
   Their Youtube channels will create videos at least every month but it’s been 
   more than 5 months that masteriyo’s Youtube channel didn’t post any tutorial 
   for the core updated and new features.
 * I know that these should be in the request feature in Masteriyo website, but 
   as i mentioned these features have been core features in other lms plugins for
   more than 2 years. That’s why i wrote them here.
 * I Love Masteriyo to be Newer and stronger than other plugins.
 * Best regards.

 * Email notification is awesome but It would be great if the answered comment by
   teacher be shown to the student as notification in his account page and learn
   page too sk that the student be informed by notifications too and not only by
   emails because some do not check emails.

 * Hi [@derlehre](https://wordpress.org/support/users/derlehre/),
 * Thank you for your kind words and for your passion for Masteriyo — it is always
   great to hear from users who care so deeply about the product!
 * However, we would like to gently remind you that the WordPress.org support forum
   is specifically intended for reporting issues and asking support questions related
   to the free version of the plugin. Once a support topic has been responded to
   and addressed, adding additional unrelated content, suggestions, or feature requests
   to the same thread is not in line with the WordPress.org forum guidelines.
 * We have a dedicated space where all ideas are reviewed and go through a proper
   evaluation process before being added to our roadmap. We encourage you to share
   your thoughts there so they receive the attention they truly deserve.
 * Please submit your feature requests here: [https://masteriyo.com/feature-request/](https://masteriyo.com/feature-request/)
 * We will go ahead and mark this thread as resolved. Thank you for understanding!
 * Best Regards!
