    In reply to: [MasterStudy LMS WordPress Plugin – for Online Courses and Education] Maximum number of students who can enroll in courses

    Hi, thank you for your answer!

    The idea is to sell a course that gives access to some conference system and debate scientific matters.

    Normally the conference is limited to 20-30 people to make a debate possible, with 100 people it would be impossible to handle.

    Apart from that sometimes the conference systems have limitations regarding the number of simultaneous people.

    That’s why I need an enrollment limit.

    To give you an example: I can’t be selling a course with 80 enrolled students with a conference or debate system that only allows access to the first 30. I agree the more students the merrier, but when it comes to debates sometimes you just have to organice reduced groups. Ideally: the course reaches its maximum number of enrollments (let’s say 30) and it should auto-disable the enrollment button by itself, so no more enrollments are admitted. Let’s say: Course: name whatever, Edition 1, maximum 30 students.

    Do you happen to have a workaround on this? I would really appreciate it, I think your plugin is the best LMS by far, I have doubts only about this missing feature.

    Thanks in advance

    By the way, for this test I didn’t use the external user at all, because admin local user has letters for username and the external one consist off an ID with numbers, totally different. They are different users. Local should be admin (via WP local DB), external SQL Server user should be author by default (via your plugin).

    I mean, I didn’t quite understand why change both local and external user’s pass when tests are using only the local user, which has an unique username (the external one is not used on your steps). On step 1 I don’t know which user you were referring to, so I assumed my local admin user, the one I’m having problems with.

    Sorry If I misunderstood something, just wanted to clarify that and it might help with the debugging.

    Thanks!

    Hi! No worries, thank you very much for your answer.

    It fails on the very beginning, first I pasted your password1 hash for my local user in the local MySQL DB.

    -Enable external Login OFF and Migration Mode OFF –> local login works (pass: password1 with your hash)

    -Enable external Login ON and Migration Mode OFF –> local login fails

    Now I try to log in after changing the password to the new one, pasting passwordnew hash for my local user in the local MySQL DB:

    -Enable external Login ON and Migration Mode OFF + typing passwordnew –> local login fails
    -Enable external Login ON and Migration Mode OFF + typing password1 (the previous one) –> local login fails
    -Enable external Login ON and Migration Mode ON + whatever password I paste on the DB –> local login works

    So, basically, with External Login ON I always need Migration Mode ON in order to Log in with my local user, but I lose the sync from the external DB to the local DB if anyone happens to change a field, and that’s quite problematic, specially if users change their passwords/emails and lose access to the site.

    I hope this can be fixed, this might happen to other WordPress users too.

    Thanks again for your help!!

    Hi! Thank you for your answer.

    I wish I could fix it myself but I lack the skills.

    By the way, I tried the ‘external login’ plugin with a regular WordPress Blog, no multisite, version 5.2.3. Same issue here, if Migration Mode is not checked my local Admin user won’t authenticate, it says user/pass invalid.

    So I guess this narrows it down to a single-site type of problem. Right?
    It has maybe something to do with the WordPress Version?

    If you need in-depth details about my configuration don’t hesitate to contact me.

    Thanks again for your help 🙂

    Hi! Thanks for your reply

    I’ve got this configuration (WordPress 5.2.3 + MySQL):

    ———————————————————-
    Functionality Settings

    -Enable External Login: On
    -Migration Mode: not checked
    -Redirect after Authentication: local + URL
    -Disable Local Login: not checked

    Database Configuration

    My external BD settings with SQL Server, test Connection button working and authenticating well.

    Password Hashing

    md5, no salting

    Database Table Mapping

    I’ve got filled the field mapping, works okay
    Role Field name and Multiple Roles per user: not checked

    Role Settings

    Unspecified Role: Author (because that´s what I want by default for external users).

    Exclude Users

    Not checked

    ———————————————————

    No matter if I check or uncheck ‘Disable Local Login’ with ‘Enable External Users’ turned On, my local admin user won’t authenticate until Migration Mode is On.

    By the way, the website is under a WordPress network with more blogs (multisite), ¿that might be the problem? ‘Enable External Login’ is not checked for the network´s default blog (that way I can log in to the network with no issues, otherwise is the same story, if migration mode not checked –> local login fails).

    I hope these details help finding the solution
    Thank you!
