A vulnerability was reported in the WPLMS theme by Wordfence. This vulnerability was of very severe in nature and we recommend all our users to update the theme as soon as possible.

The vulnerability was reported to us on 6th November and by 8th November we had resolved the vulnerability and released theme update 4.963.

This is the second vulnerability reported in WPLMS theme in over 10 years of its history as a successful WordPress theme.

We are however seeing a lot of sites facing issues with their wp-config.php being removed , we're prepared a set of steps on how to fix this vulnerability manually even if there was a hack attempt on your site.

WPLMS 5.0 RoadMap

Last updated on by
This might be a little early as we are into 4.2 & WPLMS plugin v 1.7 only. The plan is entire 4.x series of WPLMS will be focussed on improving and bug fixing in the current WPLMS framework. We expect to reach WPLMS 5.0 in later half this year. Remaining parts in 4.x
  1. Full compliance with WP 6.3 & Full site editing. The theme will provide an option to convert to an FSE theme or a non-FSE theme in options panel & setup wizard.
  2. Features polishing & presentation. Many included features in 4.0 are not announced like live contests etc.
  3. New Demos and Full Gutenberg compatibility. [ Live ]
  4. Report generator : pending.
The work on 5.0 has started quite a while ago, data is already being collected in 4.x versions for effective AI modules. The 5.0 series will be mostly focussed on including AI in WPLMS.
  1. AI powered units. Units using AI for completion.Units which match image, detect movement, detect sound patterns to mark completion and proceed to next.
  2. AI Powered questions : Question detecting movement, screen matching, Question which detect sound patterns and present score. [ Live ] 
  3. AI powered curriculum : Adaptable Courses - Auto-curriculum design based on user's progress. An instructor will only select unit tags and based on user's completion the curriculum will be designed by AI for every user.
  4. AI powered quizzes : The quizzes will automatically generate the question pattern for the user. An instructor will only select question tags and based on user's progress the question set will be designed based on the AI strategy selected by the instructor. [  Live ] 
  5. Exportable Courses : Export & Run your course in any xapi LMS.
We will also launch the plugin version of WPLMS in the first half to be used with any theme. Along with the Vibe Framework which will be posted on Wp.org.

WPLMS 4.0 impact on Site speed

Last updated on by
We now reach 6 months of launch of WPLMS version 4.0 series. And as we gear up for the next year 2021 , we are now "really" excited to show/prove why we revamped our entire architecture to version 4.  The evolution of web never stops and things where were earlier un-imaginable in version 3 of WPLMS are now possible. As version 4 gets stable and even though there are bugs one can not ignore the over improvement in the User experience and speed.  The rules of the web are changing fast and we wanted WPLMS customers to be on top of things when these rules change.  We did track the overall improvement in our main site wplms.io and the impact is satisfying. Reaching to a site speed core of 90+ from Google insights tool for mobile was earlier not possible in version 3 of WPLMS. This is now possible in version 4. I will share 2 images here : [caption id="attachment_322682" align="alignnone" width="874"] Version 3 WPLMS speed, the max we could reach was 24[/caption] Versus the WPLMS version 4 speed comparison [caption id="attachment_329542" align="alignnone" width="920"] WPLMS version4 [ Check latest lab data ][/caption]  Clearly the Wplms version 3 was not optimised for the modern web and while we are still working on further improving the above metric in version 4, we are slowly reaching where other WP themes are unable to reach. We did a short video on how we reached this score on a brand new WP site : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IRNZDGBcDQ If you simply compare this above metric  with WP themes which claim to be fastest WordPress themes, WPLMS is still comparable to the fastest themes. One of the major things which changed in version 4 was eliminating our dependency from jQuery, cookies, sessions and moving to a JWT login system built for scalability. There are some amazing technologies which have emerged in 2020 like the serverless / JAMstack and WPLMS version 4 is fully equipped to handle these. takipçi satın al takipçi satın al takipçi satın al takipçi satın al takipçi satın al sosyal medya paneli escort izmir

Possibilities :

  2. Machine learning based modules like : Image recognition [mljs]
  3. Virtual Reality content in Units [ React360]
  What prompted the shift :  WPLMS is still the most advanced theme and education platform on WordPress. But an aspect of technology is that it is ever evolving it is time for WPLMS for a change. Back when we released WPLMS it was using the stable technologies available at that time. Progressive enhancements in any software can only take you so far but a time comes when there is a need for a paradigm shift. The WordPress 5.0 released in 6th December 2018, BuddyPress 5.0, September 30, 2019. Both of these changes focus on WordPress as a HeadLess CMS which meant everything in WordPress is possible via API's and ReactJS became core part of WordPress. These were favourable conditions for WPLMS revival. During the times of COVID19 , there is no denying that online education has gained more importance than ever.  However, there is a  dearth affordable LMS solutions in the education industry. Almost all of WordPress based LMS solutions are an anomaly in the online Education sphere. As leading LMS in WordPress we have to compete with LMS systems outside of WordPress as well. Over the past years, we've gained a lot of knowledge, seen thousands of use cases, studied our competition, assessed the requirements of users and know the limitations of technologies. Thus the 4.0 version will bring about a platform on which we can develop further. Our Roadmap would easily explain what all is possible in the new WPLMS.   Vision :  An affordable LMS solution which meets the technology standards of the time !

Coming up next : Exportable Courses in WPLMS

Last updated on by
WPLMS is a framework which keeps the Instructor at the centre of the Education verse. We've always focussed on how to make things easier for the Instructor , whether its building courses, or discussions or even appointments. Yet, there was one crucial aspect which was missing : "Independence" from platforms, instructors should always be in-charge of the content they create. Hence, our upcoming feature "Exportable Courses", of course it comes with the flexibility of creating your very own course in your favorite page builder ( Elementor or divi ). With this remarkable development WPLMS can also be used as a Course authoring tool ( similar to Articulate Rise or Adobe captivate ), you will be able to export your courses as SCORM or xAPI compliant course and run in any spec. compliant LMS's. The idea is that exported Courses will be independent packages, capable of running in any environment. Of course, all the backend ( LRS or WPLMS ) details will be recorded at the time of exporting the course. We're also looking into the possibility of encrypting the course contents with a unique key, making the resources and confidential ( quiz answers) data secure. What do you think about this ? Share your thoughts.
