Checking site...

[MrVibe]

@ deadelfujiama, @ZYMedia : Thanks for these wonderful suggestions.

1. With the new FrontEnd Course creation, we'll be able to implement Event Creation within Front End.
2. Instead of Take this Course, we can an optional for contact form to consult instructor

based on course codes suggestion. How about : Upload a csv file of students directly into the course. The system will check a existing user via email id, if exists then the existing user will be allocated to the course, otherwise a new user will be created and added to the course.   We need suggestions on course progress, how do offline courses track course progress.

You can turn of curriculum link and display it on course home page by activating  WP Admin - LMS - Settings - Course Curriculum on course page. For remaining please share a screenshot (with markings) to help us visualise this, it would really help in understanding this request.

Yes, I can see these error warnings when I installed fin fresh setup. "Failed to import event-type Software: Invalid taxonomy Failed to import “Software Training”: Invalid post type wplms-event" This is because the sample content still sets up WPLMS Event which is now removed in 1.9.9. You can simply ignore these warnings and get started with the content. It has absolutely no impact on sites functioning.

@iguanaacademy : The update is controlled from Envato API. You did the right thing by clicking "update now", however update failed error indicates that the update truncated before it could complete. This could happen due to many reasons which include load on Envato servers and internet connection issues. My recommendation would be to re-try the download. Just to clarify , automatic updates does not mean the updates are automatically applies, it means once you click on a button the updates happen automatically (no manual download & upload to update).  p.s: Only replies are private. Topics are not.

iguanaacademy  : I clicked on the theme image hover tooltip "Theme Details" then on the next page, in the right column where it says "There is a new version of WPLMS available. View version 1.9.9 details or update now", I clicked on "Update now". I then received this error message on the next page (full numbers removed for privacy): "Downloading update from https://s3.amazonaws.com/marketplace-downloads.envato.com/files/154......./wplms.zip?AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAJxxx......&Expires=14455.....&Signature=klDdzYc......&response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3Dthemeforest-678....-wplms-learning-management-system-wordpress-theme.zip… Download failed. Forbidden" What do I need to do to have WPLMS automatically update? ...or just update, even if I have to follow steps to do so manually? p.s. Why couldn't I mark this post "private"? Thanks.

I am sure this has been requested more than once. Here's how you can achieve this. Consider user Admin (usually id  1) or any other user. We can create a default media set which would comprise of all the uploaded by this user.

remove_filter('posts_where', 'wplms_attachments_wpquery_where');
add_filter( 'posts_where', 'wplms_default_media_set');

function wplms_default_media_set( $where ){
  $instructor_privacy = vibe_get_option('instructor_content_privacy');
    if(isset($instructor_privacy) && $instructor_privacy && !current_user_can('manage_options')){
      if( is_user_logged_in() && current_user_can('edit_posts')){
        global $current_user;
        if( isset( $_POST['action'] ) ){
          if( $_POST['action'] == 'query-attachments' ){
            $where .= ' AND post_author IN ('.$current_user->data->ID.',1 )'; //1 is the user id of default user for media set
          }
        }
      }
    }
  return $where;
}

We're hopeful of submitting the theme for review tomorrow.

[MrVibe]

The update is majorly focussed on a. Front End Revamp ( major change in front end) b. Events migration to EventON ( all events migration to eventon ) d. Permalinks structure d. Course Start date and course location filters in course widget e. Modern child theme

Unfortunately, WPLMS is not "just" a WP theme/WP Skin and if you're using Google page speed score or Yahoo speed score then probably you're ignoring half of the variables to improve you site speed. We've seen WPLMS sites with 90+ speed score and users still complaining of slow site. For all BuddyPress themes, caching and mini-fication of javascript (CSS can be minified ) really causes issues ( based on experience ). The reason why standard caching plugin fails is because these plugins simply do not/can not cache for logged in users. It is important to understand why caching this is an issue. I'll just post a simple comparison to help you understand the difference : a. Consider a Static site like a site with company page, about page, services page,  portfolio page. The content is static. Which means you can save the pages in server cache and whenever one views the page, the server simply throws out the cache. When you update the page from WP Admin, server would re-cache the page. b. Consider a dynamic site like WPLMS. We have various user types : Logged out user, Logged in user, Instructor, Course instructor Administrator, User taking the course, user not taking the course. Now,  consider the course page. For every user the course page has different content:

1. Logged out user : Course button take this course or Login warning
2. Logged in user : Course button content Take this course or Start course for free courses
3. Instructor : sees an admin section
4. Admin/Course  Instructor : Sees an admin section and a edit course section

So, WPLMS needs to keep personalised information for most of the pages which can not be cached like previous site. Server needs to intelligently cache parts of site. Which is where server caching comes into picture. We recommend users to read following articles to help improve the site speed: http://scotty-t.com/2012/01/20/wordpress-memcached/ http://info.varnish-software.com/blog/step-step-speed-wordpress-varnish-software https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-difference-between-using-varnish-and-caching-HTML-pages-in-memcached   p.s : This is the most frequently asked question and have been replied many times in forums. For more insight on this I would suggest you to go through many replies on previous forums.

This has been fixed in the update, releasing Tomorrow.
