Hi,

I’ve just tested the email notifications in Educator 1.6 and the test was successful.

Please check these facts about the email notifications in Educator 1.6:

When a student registers using PayPal or Stripe, the email notification is sent to the course author’s user email and to the student’s email. When a student registers using cash, check, or a bank transfer for payment, the email notification is sent to the student’s email only when a site admin approves the student’s payment in the backend (Educator » Payments screen).

When an admin or a lecturer saves a grade for a quiz in the Educator » Entries » Progress screen only the student receives an email notification.

When a student’s membership expires, only the student receives an email notification.

Please check some of these recommendations in order to troubleshoot the issue with email configuration on your server:

• Please try to check if the email works at all on your WordPress website. You could try to use the WordPress’ core password reset feature (/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword) and check if you receive an email from this feature.
• Please go to the Settings » General screen and check if the “E-mail Address” option is correct.
• Please go to the Educator » Settings » Email screen and check the “From Name” and the “From Email” options.
• Please check your spam folder, sometimes email notifications can end up in there.
• Please verify with your hosting provider that the email feature works properly on your server.

Hi,

I’ve googled a little and found a few possible causes:

1) Please check the file permissions of the wp-admin/admin-ajax.php (usually, it’s 644)
2) Please check if there is an .htaccess file that denies access to the wp-admin/admin-ajax.php

May I kindly ask you to provide more details as to what you’d like to accomplish? Currently, the plugin’s payment methods process replies from Paypal (IPN) and Stripe automatically. The payment status is automatically updated based on whether the payment was processed successfully or not.

Hi,

I’ve just checked the tax classes and quizzes and was able to change them. Could you please describe your issue in detail? Could you please mention the steps to reproduce this issue?

Hi,

In order to translate a plugin you need to use a translation software that will let you edit a .PO (or .POT) file and create a .MO file from it. One of the most widely used programs to accomplish this is Poedit.

In Educator, you should open the wp-content/plugins/ibeducator/languages/ibeducator.pot file and create the .MO file after entering your translations. You should save your .MO file as ibeducator-[language_code]_[COUNTRY_CODE].mo (examples: ibeducator-en_US.mo, ibeducator-de_DE.mo, etc). Once you get this file, you can paste it into the wp-content/languages/plugins directory (example: wp-content/languages/plugins/ibeducator-en_US.mo). Some notes about Poedit.

Also, you can use a WordPress plugin to create translations. For example, Loco Translate.

Hi,

You can create the following file in the root of your primary theme or child theme:

taxonomy-ib_educator_category.php

A very basic version of this file looks like this:

<?php get_header(); ?>

<?php
    while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
        get_template_part( 'content', 'course' );
    endwhile;

    the_posts_pagination( array( 'mid_size' => 2 ) );
?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

You will need to modify this file such that it uses your theme’s HTML structure.

If you created the ibeducator folder in your theme’s directory, I recommend to store there only those templates that you actually need to edit. That’s because when a plugin has an update there is a big chance that some of its templates are modified. If you will have all the plugin’s templates stored in your theme’s directory the plugin won’t pick up the updated versions of the templates (that it stores in its own templates folder), and this may cause some new/fixed changes not to be displayed. Therefore, you should copy and override only those templates that you really need to override.

Don’t hesitate to ask more questions on this support forum. And thanks for considering this plugin.

I think you can either have that page display all course requests that need approval (e.g., course name – student name) or there can be 2 pages to manage this feature (students list page and the student’s courses page).

I can’t say if you will need more hooks while developing this. If you will have some questions you can post them here.
