    The option "Enable Course external link" as described in this link is not working. The "Take this course" button is missing. And it was replaced by the URL. Refer: http://prntscr.com/bknwnh

    Hi Alex, The above suggestion does not fix my issue because non-registered user can see the link instead of the button.

    Okay please do not set the course price Free then . Please disable the free setting of the course in course pricing settings . refer  :  http://prntscr.com/blko5v If you want to put the Free label there then set the course product pricing as free by putting the price of the product as 0 . refer : http://prntscr.com/blkp8o

    Hi Alex, For your information. I found out if I disable the FREE setting of the course. And putting the price of the product as 0. I can use the External Course Link without any issue. However, I cannot use Course Filter Widget to filter Free course anymore. Because the widget is filtered based on FREE setting of the course instead of the price of the product. Thanks.

    Yep this is an issue as of now . When the course is set to free the link on button is overwritten to subscribe that free course. We need to overwrite the free course link with the custom link that is added .Fix for this is coming up in the next update of Vibe custom types plugin . To quick fix this please add the given code in your wplms-customizer.php file in wplms customizer plugin : add_filter('wplms_private_course_button','external_course_button_link',11,2); function external_course_button_link($link,$course_id){   $external_link = get_post_meta($course_id,'vibe_course_external_link',true);   if(isset($external_link) && !empty($external_link)){     $link = $external_link;   }   return $link; }

    Hi Vibe, I tried the solution above 2 months ago. Course External Link button is not working when you switched to FREE course. The "Take This Course" button was disappered. The external link would appear in Course Detail. After I read the thread from https://wplms.io/support/forums/topic/external-course-button-link/ I tried to upgrade WPLMS plugins and theme to Version 2.2.2 because the issue was fixed (Mentioned in the thread above by Latiyan) However, I tried again. It not resolve yet.

    Yep it will not work on the Free course as Free course gets automatically subscribed to the user and then course does not shows Take this course button .It shows Start Course button instead . To show the take this course button please enable the "Disable auto-subscription of free course " from wp-admin -> lms -> settings.
