Hi @startechmarketing,

We need to clarify what you mean, so we can better assist you. Are you asking if we have a sample course the has the following configuration:

1. The course can only be purchased between a given start date and a given end date.
2. Organized the students into cohorts, with a limit on the number of students in each cohort.

Is this correct? If so, then while we don’t have sample courses that we can share or send to you, we can give you instructions on how to accomplish (1) and (2) above.

To accomplish (1) create a LifterLMS course(s), and go to Course Options > Restrictions and toggle on Enable Enrollment Period. This will open up two more input fields: Enrollment Start Date and Enrollment End Date. Please supply your intended dates on these fields.

To accomplish (2) on the same LifterLMS courses, you can purchase the LifterLMS Groups add-on from our website at lifterlms.com. Once you purchase and install the LifterLMS Groups add-on, you can follow the steps below:

1. Create a membership page. For example, let’s call it <span style=”text-decoration: underline;”>Package 1</span> (you can call it any name you want). In LifterLMS, a membership is just a collection of zero or more courses.
2. Open up your courses you created earlier and modify their access plan by setting the <span style=”text-decoration: underline;”>Plan Availability</span> to <span style=”text-decoration: underline;”>Members only</span> and <span style=”text-decoration: underline;”>Memberships</span> to <span style=”text-decoration: underline;”>Package 1</span>.
3. Create a group using the LifterLMS add-on by going to <span style=”text-decoration: underline;”>WordPress Dashboard > Groups > Add New</span>. For example, let’s call this <span style=”text-decoration: underline;”>Group 1</span> (you can call it any name you want).
4. Associate your membership page to this group by selecting Package 1 from the <span style=”text-decoration: underline;”>WordPress Dashboard > Groups > Add New</span> <span style=”text-decoration: underline;”>> Course or Membership</span> dropdown.
5. Add number number of seats you want have in the <span style=”text-decoration: underline;”>Group 1</span> cohort, under <span style=”text-decoration: underline;”>WordPress Dashboard > Groups > Add New > Seats</span> .
6. Send invitations links to your target students by going to Add number number of seats you want have in the <span style=”text-decoration: underline;”>Group 1</span><span style=”text-decoration: underline;”> </span>cohort, under <span style=”text-decoration: underline;”>WordPress Dashboard > Groups > Add New > Members > Manage</span> .

Once your students accept the invitation link, they will be added to <span style=”text-decoration: underline;”>Group 1</span> and to <span style=”text-decoration: underline;”>Package 1</span>. Since they are now enrolled in Package 1, and since you have changed the access plan of your courses to be purchasable by students enrolled in the <span style=”text-decoration: underline;”>Package 1</span> membership, then these student can no purchase these courses you created within the enrollment period you specified.

Hi @avaiya

It looks like we already responded to a duplicate of this support request. In summary, we provided you with the PHP code below to fix this problem:

function my_custom_filter_for_lost_password( $message ) {
   return "Need to create your password for the 1st time? Or need to reset your password if you've lost it? Enter your email address and we will send you a link to create your password or reset it.";
}

add_filter( 'lifterlms_lost_password_message', 'my_custom_filter_for_lost_password', 10, 1);

We asked you to edit your functions.php file to add this code. An alternative is to simply use the free and popular Code Snippets plugin to run that same PHP code.

Hi @typisch-mann,

I understand that you are talking about the Checkout redirect of your course access plan options.

Are you planning on redirecting to the same page for all your 100+ courses? If so, first, please make sure that the Checkout redirect of each access plan in your 100+ courses is left at the default value, which is (Default) Return to Course.

Now, to avoid having to setup redirects 100+ times for your 100+ course, please use the third-party Redirection plugin available here at WordPress.org. Once installed and activated and setup, please go to WordPress Dashboard > Tools > Redirection to create your redirect rule. When creating your redirect rule, set the Source URL to this regular expression ^/course/.*/\?order-complete=.*

This regular expression will match a path like /course/170/?order-complete=order-6491c8f5bab5c which is what your course will redirect to when you leave the setting Checkout redirect to its default value of (Default) Return to Course.

Please also add the Regex tag to the Source URL. Please also don’t forget to set a value for the Target URL. This Target URL could be your one thank you page, for example.

Hi @simeonmeder,

You can change the string You must enroll in this course to access course content to something else by editing your course on the back-end and then going to Course Options > Restrictions > Content Restricted Message

Since you can directly modify that string, you do not need to use Loco Translate to translate that. You can just change the actual string in Course Options > Restrictions > Content Restricted Message Note that you have to do this for all old courses that are already created (regardless of the publish status).

When you try to override the default value for Course Options > Restrictions > Content Restricted Message using Loco Translate, you will only see you change for new courses you create after the translation (not before the translation). The deafult value you need to search for is You must enroll in this course to access course content That string is located in the following PHP files:

• wp-content/plugins/lifterlms/includes/admin/post-types/meta-boxes/class.llms.meta.box.course.options.php
• wp-content/plugins/lifterlms/libraries/lifterlms-rest/includes/server/class-llms-rest-courses-controller.php

Hi @montseel,

The custom location that Loco Translate uses is wp-content/languages/loco/plugins/lifterlms-es_ES.mo.

On the other hand, if you look at the file at wp-content/plugins/lifterlms/includes/functions/llms-functions-l10n.php you will notice that custom location that LifterLMS recognizes is wp-content/languages/lifterlms/lifterlms-en_US.mo.

Once you are done translating the strings from within the Loco Translate admin area, you can move the file wp-content/languages/loco/plugins/lifterlms-es_ES.mo to wp-content/languages/lifterlms/lifterlms-en_US.mo. This should fix the translation problems.

If you want to avoid this manual work of moving .mo files, you can also try using the llms_l10n_safe_directory hook in wp-content/plugins/lifterlms/includes/functions/llms-functions-l10n.php. Using that hook, you would want to replace WP_LANG_DIR . '/lifterlms' with WP_LANG_DIR . '/loco/plugins'.

Hi @jlessa,

I can see from the screenshot you sent that the two pages have the same layout setting, but they appear to have different widths. One has a fixed width, and the other has full width.

It’s possible that there are plugins conflicts. If you are also using Elementor, does the issue disappear when you try to temporarily deactivate Elementor? How about when you deactivate all other plugins except LifterLMS?

Hi @hibans ,

Apologies for the late update. Unfortunately, the use case you are describing is not possible.

This is due to the following reasons:

• LifterLMS paid lessons, quizzes, and certificates are excluded from the sitemap. Your WordPress sitemap is a just list of all the public URLs on your WordPress website. You can view your sitemap <your-domain>/sitemap.xml.
• When Google crawls your course page, it sees your course syllabus first. In this course syllabus, the title of free courses have a link attached to them. Google can then follow this link to index the contents of the free course lesson. On the other hand, on your course syllabus the titles of the paid lessons do not have a linked attached to them. So Google has no link to follow.
  
  Furthermore, even if Google sees the link to paid lessons, the crawler will be redirected back to the course syllabus page. This is because the contents of your paid lessons can only be revealed to enrolled users. If a program (e.g., a crawler) can access those course contents by bypassing the same security mechanism that allows only enrolled students to see the paid lesson content, then others would be able to copy your course content and possibly re-upload it somewhere else.
