In reply to: [Educator] Allow student to register after guidance counselor approval?Hi. Sorry for replying after 2 weeks. I didn’t receive the follow-up emails on this topic. As far as I understood:
You would like to approve a course for a potential student before he/she makes a payment? There could be a way to do something similar by creating a custom payment method, but only if you don’t plan to access payments via PayPal or Stripe.
I think the user could be redirected to a registration page instead of the payment page via an action hook, will need to check that. If you would like to go this way:
You need to somehow associate a selected course with the user’s registration. This can be done by either creating a custom post type for “approvals” (probably easiest) or creating a custom database table. If you decide to use a post type, WordPress should provide a basic UI for it (e.g., view approvals, edit approval, etc). Then a custom field (e.g., “approve” checkbox) can be added to this post type to allow admin to approve the course for a student. The post type should be private, and you should setup the proper permissions to it (e.g., only Administrator can view, edit, delete, etc, a post of this type).
With this example scenario:
1) Student, being new to the website, finds a course
2) Student clicks register and gets redirected to the registration page
3) The course ID should somehow be passed to this page to make it possible to create a post of type “approval” and assign this course ID and new student’s user ID to this post.
4) The admin, then, should be able to view all posts of type “approval”. Editing the post, admin should find out the course ID and user ID, and check if the student is eligible to take the course.
5) If eligible, check the custom “approve” checkbox and “Update” the post.
6) You would need to hook into the WP’s save post action to process the approval (e.g., emailing the link to the course registration to a student).This is only a theoretic example of how similar feature could be implemented. Of course, there are some additional steps.

In reply to: [Educator Certificates] Stay away from this plugin!Hi,
This plugin requires the Educator plugin; it is stated in the plugin’s description. It seems that the Educator plugin was not activated on your WordPress install.
This plugin will check if the Educator plugin is activated before it continues loading in the next version.

In reply to: [Educator] Payment Page lists course author as instructorHi,
You can remove the ” with admin” part from the course title:
- Go to Educator » Settings.
- Uncheck the “Show course lecturer on the payment page” checkbox.
You can also assign the instructor user through the Author field on the course edit page. This user should have the “Lecturer” role.

In reply to: [Educator] Please add field for instructor to course content typeHi,
Currently the Author field is used to assign the instructor user. The instructor user should have the “Lecturer” role.

In reply to: [Educator] Course prerequisite check broken?Hi,
A student needs to complete his/her prerequisite before registering for a course that requires it. In order to indicate that a student has completed a course you should do the following:
- Go to the Educator » Entries screen.
- Edit your Consultation course entry.
- You need to set the entry’s Status to Complete to be able to register for a course where the Consultation course is a prerequisite.

In reply to: [Educator] Postback payment methodHi,
In order to create a URL where the payment system should send a post, you could do the following:
$postback_url = ib_edu_request_url( 'mypaymentslug' );To process the post response from the payment system:
function my_process_payment_response() { if ( isset( $_POST['some-key'] ) ) { // do something. } } add_action( 'ib_educator_request_mypaymentslug', 'my_process_payment_response' );Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Educator] Change quiz and Tax ClassMore steps you can take to troubleshoot this issue:
1) Please try to disable all plugins but Educator, log out and log in, and try to modify a tax rate or a question.
2) Please go to Educator » Payments » Add New screen and check if the “Course*” select box lists available courses.
3) Please open the Chrome’s developer tools, switch to the Network tab, check the “XHR” option, and reload the page. Now, try to edit a tax rate’s name. A row with the following URI should appear under the “XHR” option: “admin-ajax.php?action=ib_edu_taxes&method=rates”. Click this row and check the contents of the “Response” tab; an error message can appear in there. Please don’t share these contents publicly if the information inside can compromise you website’s security.
4) You can also try to do the step 4 with the WP_DEBUG constant in your wp-config.php set to true. Set the WP_DEBUG constant to FALSE as soon as possible, because leaving it on is a severe security flaw.
