During doing LMS tests I found that the Students Enrolled counter:
on offline courses increments after purchase;
on online courses doesn't progress even after course is in the Finished state.
What is the logic here? When should it increment on online courses: after the purchase, after being started, or after being finished?
And why doesn't it work in online courses?
it also shows zero on the Instructing courses stats for the instructor. Clicking on the student logo, we get on the course Members section, which shows one member there.
Can you please check this settings from wplms -> course manager -> Maintain accurate Student Count -> yes .
If this is not set to yes then please set to yes and try adding or removing a student in course.
Thank you. Although the description says "The Number gets verified every time user visits the Course - admin section", and it looks not applicable to the regular course page counter, but it solved the problem.
Will you update the "Maintain accurate Student Count" description in the future please ?
I'm also wondering what is the use of that setting, if when off it doesn't show correct results (with online courses only)?
In some of the cases when users are ready to launch their site they want to show that their courses already have been taken by some students for marketing purpose .
So as the student count is added in the meta field users can set how many students there in the course from meta fields meta box in the back end .
You can enable the maintain accurate student count to avoid the wrong count of students .
