WPLMS course admin panel – how to

[dgcruzing]

Hi WPLMS team,

we have been playing with this for the past week and upgraded from a 3+ install I have been running for the past few years. Mostly it was to stream H5P from a Bitnami\AWS to a Moodle site..

Anyway as times have changed and I have a few other projects on the go, I have dived deeper in this theme..

Ok, for now and let’s keep this thread open so I can pop questions into it over time.

The question for today.. and I don’t seem to find it in in Videos and or FAQ’s.

To get to the new Admin\Course panel.

It seems I have to be logged in and then go to “Notifications”
hover around this and it pops up.

Is there another way to get to it?

Something a little more intuitive?

Don’t get me wrong this is a great addon and will lead to a much better way to handle course creation so job well done there..

One another note for those that might be upgrading.. We wasted a week trying to fix things.. and decided to just do a clean install..
As at first we where having lots of problems with this panel be flanky.. but on the new install it seems to be stable..

understand that this is not ideal for those with students taking courses..

Also like the road map of exporting courses.. this is got to be a must.. As once you load in the full course it is painful do to a large update like this.

Any change of being able to import Moodle courses?

OK that’s me for the day..

Let me know if there is a better way to access this panel\dashboard..

Also, Know everyone is busy but you got a few spelling mistakes throughout your themes and instructions.. do you have somewhere we can throw these at you so you can put them on the “to fix” bucket list.. 🙂

Hi Team,

I am talking about the “New 4.0 admin dashboard”
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ywpm9hHLt0z2piUC7Zcszmbf4gDak9eg/view?usp=sharing

Also we are starting to get pissed off with this theme as we are wasting too much time on it..

Can you please some in and look at our site and sort out why it is not working.. this is a clean install and I have taken down the old site so we can start fresh and as you can see we have done nothing and it is showing this type of codes in course we have not even edited it.

so.. the questions has to be..

What is the quick way to get to the Dashbaord for edits on courses?

We need to deal with why all this is showing in Hex and not in actual writing..

ok, I think I have answered this myself on the dashboard..

As we get to it logging in via the web press site.. not coming into it via our host which is via Bluehost portal.

I will pop through login details and let you have a look

thanks..

ok
lets try this
http://prntscr.com/v3t92t
try to shortcode from here
not from the back end and then check

[dgcruzing]

Did you check that?
It is just linking to the module page.

https://advancedcskills.com/course/bsb51415/

Not working like an “accordion: which is what the quick codes in the course panel edits is showing.

If I want a link to that page it’s easy to do..

This is the Cert IV page with it done from with in the LMS-Course editor
https://advancedcskills.com/course/cpc40110/

I put out a call in your section for a freelancer and not sure if there is any support for this theme out in the “wild” so to speak..

https://wplms.io/support/forums/topic/wplms-customization-freelancer-wanted/

You seem to be the only one that is coming in and doing things and so I am wondering if it is such a good idea to keep going with it.

I will post into a few of the freelance coding sites and see if there is any uptake on it.

If not then I have to make a judgement of it it is worth carrying on with it.
As we are a month into this build and there is not a lot to show for it.

It may be just the case of stripping it all the way back to base and just use elementor to build all of it. And then fingers crossed no upgrades break any of it.

I think this is still why I am worried about spending time to build any courses in it and would only think about using the H5P\Video\scorm and stream.
This way there is a wrapped package backed up.

Is there a section we where can link at messages that others have posted so we can build a community of users?

If you are really serious about this you should think about building something like the moodle community so that we can come in and share our tricks..

https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=361015

Just a thought for the big boss.. as many minds make light work.. 🙂

[dgcruzing]

Wow, I put the effort in to respond and more than 12 hours later nothing..

If you can not handle the workload you guys really should get community support pages going.

I can see via my posting also for freelance help within this community that there is no one that is working with this theme..

Ok, I will run a test and see how we go in guru.com for a freelancer.. this will tell me if there is actually anyone out there working with this and or has worked with it and made it successful.

Sorry team, starting to lose confidence that this is worth putting time and effort in to as if this was a ROI decision right at this stage it would be a no go.

[dgcruzing]

Hi team,
After conversing with a few other people around the world and see the lack of support here. I can not see us carrying on with this theme.

So I will bow out now as this is going to be way too much work for us to get up and running.

You have to be realistic about what you are doing in that you are offering something at a price point at is lover the completion but really we can see how slow the site is and how long it takes to get something up and running..

So we have decided to go with Astra and learndash.

As while they are more expensive to start off on, it is quicker to get a working system up and running and there is more community support going on.

I wish you luck but I have to leave a 2-star rating on Themeforest as I am disappointed that we have wasted more than $2,000 in man-hours alone and not even got anything up and running.. yes, this is how much it has cost me just to get my normal development staff to work on the creation of the front page and getting to learn the system..

It is just too slow and got too many hidden problems that we as users should not be dealing with.

This should pretty much be a case of being able to get up and running in a few hours\days.. especially since we have courses ready to go..

Also do you realise you have Indian spam porn sites leaving messages in your FAQ area?

this alone was a red flag for us when we were looking for help with your forums.. if you can not control this then what hope have we got as a business in getting something we can trust up and running and build a working relationship with you. ?

[Mr.Vibe]

Thank you for the feedback. IF you realise this particular site is not using WPLMS.Thank you for pointing out the red flag. We plan to upgrade it to WPLMS as soon as we get time after our nest major update.

Unfortunately, at this point we’re in middle of a huge upgrade and hence there are delays in support. LearnDash and Astra both are using outdated technology, the WPLMS is built on technology of 2020’s, so you will not find many developers who can really customise.
Regarding the slowness, I can assure you that WPLMS is much faster than both Astra and Learndash here’s a little comparison : https://prnt.sc/v4p4hb
WPLMS 4.0 is atleast 3x faster than WPLMS 3.x , the above comparison is WPLMS 3.x with Learndash.
Note, we are using Google Insights.

We offer 30 day refunds no questions asked so you can post a request request and we’ll approve it.

[dgcruzing]

Mr Vibe,

I understand what you are doing as we have just onboarded more the 6,000 students out of a Google class setup into a new Moodle base. We were able to do this within 6 weeks with more then 100 courses.

I suggest you look at this and set up something like it to showcase a full set of a course in your system.. as so far all the links provided within your site here do not showcase this.

https://demo.learndash.com/

Plus can I suggest you work on your affiliate program so that you can get someone to actually showcase a working site in Youtube as there is no one that is doing this.. We have spent hours looking for a review video.. but apart from your channel, there is none.

Thus, while you are well priced,

For us.. development “opportunity costs” and “real man-hours” to get this theme up and running is not looking good for ROI.

re: Refund.. its fine.. you deserve this as I do understand the hours that you are doing on getting this coded.. I am sure in a few months time you will have it settled so I may run a development site to keep an eye on it.

Please keep “K.I.S.S” in mind on everything you do..

If a client can not get this up and running within hours or a day.. you will lose them..
