All of the opinions expressed in this video are my own, I was not paid to make this video. Whenever there is a link in any of my videos, if there is a referral program available, please assume that you are clicking on a referral link.
Thank you so much, Adam, your videos have taught me so much about how to create my own website, how to choose a service, and what to look for in different products. You are my go-to-person when I want to make sure I'm doing things right. Thanks a lot again!
Thank you Pilar Guerrero & thanks for watching.
THANK YOU so much for your videos. You have taught me so much Adam because I knew NOTHING. I was about to launch with LifterLMS soon but I think that I may explore this further.
I enjoy being able to help, iChooseToThrive.com. Thanks for watching.
Excellent video, Adam. Very informative and simply explained. Nice!

I have a non-compatible theme website so I guess LearnDash would integrate but look ugly. We don't want to change our main website theme so do we need to create a whole new separate website just for our courses using the Astra theme? This seems like a lot of work. ...Or is there a WP Membership or LMS plugin that would do the job of hosting our paid for courses *and* be visually customisable within our existing website? Thanks in advance :-)
Great review! Thank you so much.
I haven't used lifterLMS but am quite happy with LearnDash, especially since they launched the new builder. I was amazed to see how well Astra theme is ready for LD as well, wow! But it's fair to say that with Generate Press + Learn Dash + Visual Customizer (premium LD plugin) you can give it a personal and professional touch as well.
Yes I am going to be making a video specifically on themes for LearnDash and will talk about Visual Customizer as an option.
Thank you for this video. I am considering many options but I will make sure to use your links before a buy anything. Thanks again
Thank you Khaled Sahsah & thanks for watching.
Great overview. Clear and to the point.
Are there any other competitors with equal quality besides the ones mentioned in the video?
Hi Adam, your video is SUPER COOL! Congratulations ! When are you going to publish the videos you mentioned about Learndash + Astra + WooCommerce in Depth ?
I was holding off waiting for LearnDash version 3 to be released. It was pushed back because of Gutenberg. It should come out in the next month or so and I should get early access to it.
@@WPCrafter Great! I am your fan and I will be on sync with anything you publish 😁 including this !
Great video thank you for this mate! Just wondering when you will release the LearnDash Social Learner video?
I would like to hear people really using LearnDash in real projects. All LearnDash videos look as promotional Ads.
They have a very active Facebook user group with thousands of people that use it in live environments.
Adam, I'm in need of a system that will allow me to have traditional portfolios, so that a student does work on a lesson blog or page and when the results are submitted they go to a portfolio controlled by the instructor. There, the instructor can view the work and give feedback. For example, after reading an article, the student writes a summary. The upon submit, the summary is sent to a portfolio where I can read it and give feedback. In addition, the portfolio serves as an archive where the student can go back and review how their writing has changed over time. Thanks
That is called manual grading it. I believe it's in LifterLMS but I'm. not 100% sure if LearnDash has it. I would contact LearnDash and asked them if they have manual grading.
Hi Adam, it is really a great video. I just purchased Learndash, and within a couple of days I had to give it up and ask for a refund. Then I tried several LMS platforms. All rabbis, I am totally convinced that LearnDash is the best. Guess what I am going to get it back. My question for you is: can you create in learnDash a grid format with a grid. Meaning if you have few courses in a grid format, can you create an other grid format for different phases of a given course?
Regards,
YL
I'd like to use coupons and course bundles...what do you recommend with LearnDash (is there another plug in)?
Hi, I'm glad to see you respond to questions. I am thankful for your so comprehensive video as I am trying to determine if this is the right software for my client. So far it looks possible, but they want to offer a 'premium' price for their course (program) and a basic price. Looks like only one price is possible and also no coupons? Is that right? So will I need to add Woocommerce or what will offer pricing tiers? Thanks in advance.
I wish I would have seen this video earlier. I already built a site with Lifter and I think their add-ons are expensive compared to LearnDash. Adams videos and tutorials are awesome. I suggest anyone thinking about building a website to do so with Adam's tutorials. I have another learning site to build so the second site I am doing it on LearnDash instead of Lifter.
Adam you don't need to justify anything including a referral fee.
Thanks Online Visually.com!
That's why we love him, he doesn't need to, but he does it anyways! Keep up the good work Adam your reviews help a ton!
Thanks Adam. Just when I thought I knew all I could with LearnDash. I’ll be swapping out Social Learner with Astra Pro for sure. Thanks again for the insights!
Hi Adam, which one would you recommend btw, LearnDash or Lifter LMS ?
My preference is LearnDash.
How would I go about adding videos that are not so easy to download? Amazon S3?
You can use the direct link to the video stored on S3.
Which video host would you choose to decrease the likelyhood of someone copying the video?
Coding in Flow The big solution for that is wistia but I say big because is not free and it doesn’t mean is fail proof. There are ways to download the video it just makes it harder. Even if someone came up with a solution people can still use a screen capture software to steal your videos so yo beyond that train of thought and mention your brand a lot and your website on your videos so people know it is your creative just my 2 cents
Is S3 Media Maestro (Content protection integration with AWS) compatible with LearnDash...?
Hi Adam. Great review! Could you share your thoughts about the following question: would a course creator need just an LMS or both an LMS + a membership plugin (such as MemberPress or ActiveMember360). What are the benefits of using both VS just an LMS (or just a membership plugin)? Thanks!
Great Video Adam! I'm wondering if since you've made the video has Learndash updated their onboarding process to something like you mentioned in this video?
Are gonna set up a new site with content only logged in users can see. Should I choose lifterLMS or LearnDash? (which one had a big update coming?)
hey. loved the video. where can I find the course creator masterclass? is it out yet?
Which will be best lms plugin for wordpress?
I m very lucky to see your video. Currently, I m using Optimizepress and Wishlist membership for my online training site.
I am going to produce more and more courses because I am not trainer but a producer. I collaborate with other trainers ... Due to the expansion, I need to look out for a reliable and easy to use LMS
So, i am thinking of getting Learndash and Astra via your link to easy my work. If not, I feel now I am trapped my in own prison ...
Yes sadly of the tools that you are using were kind of what people used five or six years ago, there are much better tools today. It's actually very sad what happened optimize press that they didn't continue developing it and it stuck in 2013.
Adam, I was hoping that you were going to include MasterStudy Pro in your comparisons. I was narrowing my choice down to it and LearnDash. Can you elaborate on why you chose Lifter over MasterStudy?
After researching other LMS platforms, I concluded that Edredo is a perfect platform that is completely FREE, has all the features like other platforms, and has some additional advanced filters. Overall, a free and new place to learn and connect with a new group of teachers and students across the world.
i finished the lifter tutorial yesterday, but i will see this one...
I will be going over all the LMS plugins and have tutorials on all of them as well.
Hi Adam, greetings from Scotland. I've been following your videos for a couple of years now and must admit they have been absolutely invaluable. I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask a question but if anyone can help, i'm sure it's you. I am looking to sell employee training courses to businesses but would like some way for managers to log in and see how his/her staff are progressing. I'm guessing some kind of business membership with employees as the members. Can LearnDash do this or is there something else I should look at?
When i needed a LMS i checked your video of LifterLMS, did not feel right to me, then i try LearnDash, and this LMS is really nice and inspire more trust for me than Lifter LMS.
I'm glad that you will make some videos on it, even if i'm use to it right now i may learn one thing or 2 ;)
Just subscribed as this was great for someone looking at an LMS for wordpress. Question for you. Do you feel this could slow down a website at all. I was planning on running it on my main website, that is not primarily an education website, but I need to offer LMS functionality for clients. I'm paranoid about speed lately as google are now penalising websites for slow page loads and sluggishness. I would never have more that one or two users accessing the LMS at any given time.
Please which is easier to use between WPLMS and Learndash. Also i want to theme that is a once off, and have features to Allow instrustors register to sell their courses
I love the circle-shaped window with your face in it. Would you mind sharing which program that you use to record with? Thank you very much. And thank you for the great video.
Hi Adam, do you know ultimate learning pro by codycanion? There are any tutorial about that in this channel?
Thanks Adam. It looks like we will be missing just the ability to use voucher and also doing course bundling. Is there a work around that you can show us through some of the add-ons in learndash?
I like the learndash option because for $189 I get all the payment gates and I can use for 10 sites whereas I will need to buy a single PayPal gateway for $99 when using lifter Lms and can only use that for one site.
If you can show us how to incorporate the voucher element as well as course bundling into learndash that will really help
Yes you can do all of that with LearnDash if you use it with a shopping cart like WooCommerce. You just need to use it with a shopping cart if you want to be able to do those things.
Thanks for the awesome review.. Is learndash a onetime payment plugin??
Adam, with the plug ins you mentioned, can you give the option for memberships to have access to all courses but also allow non members to pay for courses a la carte?
for LMS how much Hosting Capacity I Require if i have 4/5 students in course but i have too many video
Does Learn dash enable a member to save a video/class to another area for quick reference, instead of having to go through the website to find that content again.
Wow, Adam! Best review video I've ever seen. So helpful in sorting through all the possible options and figuring out what will work best for me. I'm sold!!
Hey so glad to hear that John, I hope it helps you decide which direction that you wanted to go in for a learning management system. I do know they're working diligently on version 3 of LearnDash but I don't really have any information other than that. It's just good to know that it's actively being developed and improved.
What concerns are there about hosting videos on my own LMS site as opposed to using Teachable, Udemy, etc.? Will the price of the hosting increase with the volume of videos?
Adam when you have several courses on your site via Learn Dash, doesn't it slow down your site?
Hi! Really like this video! Does learndash work fine along with Ultimate Membership Pro?
Thinkific is the same thing? Only they do the hosting instead of Wordpress I am really confused now because I have loaded some content to Thinkific. How does LernDash play with Elementor and Wordpress? and Astra? You guys are why I have them all now SMH Totally confused Thinkific is free
Hi Adam, You mentioned that you would be doing a very detailed Learndash tutorial... going into all aspects in a more instructional and detailed way, and not just a general precis that I believe you mentioned you were doing with this video. When do you plan on doing such? if its not too much to ask, can you put it high up in your priority listing? Thanks.... btw, great video!! (y)
Great job Adam as always. Any update on when the LearnDash tutorial is going to go live?
As you know I’m a big LifterLMS fan, but I’m not sure it will work for our needs since Lifter isn’t multisite compatible. Our program is white label and we have around 600 coaches all with their own brands and their own domains.
Plus with LifterLMS, while it is free to start, if you want Stripe or other feature you get with LearnDash included LifterLMS can get pricy quick.
Any thoughts or advice is always appreciated of course.
I was holding off until LearnDash v3 is released. Let me shoot Justin an email to ask him when that is expected.
What did Justin say? I want to buy this through your link. I want to be sure of I get.
LearnDash 3 is coming next year after Gutenberg. I don't have any other info on it. I will be getting my hand on it a few days early so that I can record some tutorials on it.
Hello Adam, great video! I am curious if you know of a LMS or plugin that will allow members to custom organize the content provided in a members area and also add their own supplemental content to their members area? Or if this is something that would need to be built through a developer?
Thanks for this review, I am planning on using learndash to manage my online course and before reviewing this video I was originally intending to install it as a plugin on my existing site. From this review ii appears I would be better off installing it on the Astra theme and i assume having a separate domian name? Is the primary reason for doing it this way for the visual aesthetic of the course site? In other words, if go the route of installing it on my existing site then would I end up with the basic learndash styling - is that correct?
I have all the content and am presntly training students but I have not been using an LMS, so I need to move everything to Learndash ASAP. What is your suggestion - Plugin into my existing site or register a new domain then use Astra theme and plugin learndash there?
By the way when will the other learn dash training videos that you mentioned in this video be available as well as the referral link to purchase learn dash through you?
Thanks for the info Adam! I have just downloaded Lifter LMS but it seems to conflict with both thrive leads AND Bloom (from elegant themes) - Do you have any solutions to how to use an opt-in plugin with Lifter LMS? I can't find any information about it anywhere...
Really good video. Looking forward to when the Full Learndash Astra video drops. It will help me a great deal.
Which one should I be using LifterLMS or Learn Dash. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I would recommend LearnDash over Lifter LMS.
Lifter "basic" version is very lightweight but you then have to buy all the useful components in order to really make it functional. This is just one important consideration and not a reflection of the quality.
liked it.. i instakked learndash today.. but i was wonderg ifi should go for lifter lms... coz i still hae to choose a membership plugin yet
So when is the tutorial video you said you are making being released?
Holding out for LearnDash 3
WPCrafter.com WordPress For Non-Techies when is that due out Adam?
I am very frustrated by LearnDash course builder (new one) after using LifterLMS builder !
Yes it does feel cramped. I think they will improve that.
Thanks a lot Adam!
your explanation is great!!
Is LearnDash support RTL (Right to Left) language?
hey thanks alot for this great video. what do you think about wplms theme and Education WP - these are best sellers in theme forrest. could you recommend one of them or you think that the option that you give is the best ?
I have tested this vs Lifter and I prefer using LearnDash as my preference. Awesome video again Adam! 👍🏼
?? am confused
Hey Goni, what are you confused about?
I will be going over all the LMS plugins and have tutorials on all of them as well. I would say that LearnDash and LifterLMS are both great for different people. And the competition is REALLY good for both parties.
Thx a lot, made me understand a lot!
How do you record your videos?
There are many functions in LearnDash are not working and support is so bad
Perhaps you have an issue with some plug-in conflict. I have an experienced functions not working nor poor support from them.
Hi Adam! Thanks for the review. If I didn't already own LearnDash I would have bought it through your link. However, I still need to decide on a page builder and I'm going to choose either Beaver Builder or Elementor. I already have the Astra theme. Could you share which page builder works better with LearnDash? Also, do you know which page builder works best with Pods and if Elementor offers the same functionality as Beaver Themer (especially the linking part which you explained in a Beaver Themer review on combination with custom fields and post types)? Thank you in advance!
Wow! When I first saw the video is one hour, I thought I wouldn't have the time, but this was worth it. I'm currently looking at the demo of Lifter, but LearnDash doesn't have a demo, so this was very useful. Thanks a lot!
Hi, can you help me with LearnDash? How do I translate the LearnDash generated URLs? Or how do I change them? It apperas in Russian, but I need this URL in english..
All the options are also available in the customizer, and were at the time of this video recording! Also there is no dependency on Visual Composer you can use any page builder you want with it.
Come on Michael. All the options are not in the customizer, they were not then and they are not today, even with the new product. Please don't get defensive, Social Learner was unique in what it did, bravo. But it came with baggage, all tradeoffs one must accept. Why not instead comment that "I see your points in the video and that's why Social Learner has been rebuilt from the ground up".
Fair points! Thanks for the feedback
Hi there Adam. Thank you once again for such a kickass walkthru. Never knew that Learndash was so good and easy to set up until I saw your walkthru. It's also very affordable. Secondly, I didn't know that Learndash integrates well with Astra. That was like an "aha" moment for me right there.
Lastly, I would like to recommend you don't do social learner walk thru. That's because I feel your time is better used on topics that push WordPress forward. Social Learner is stuck on Visual Composer and stuck with theme forest styles of themes. Most of your customers aren't that. Just my two cents if its worth anything.
Anyways, keep up the good work. Thank you once again for a very informative video once again. Cheers!!
Can you substitute Astro Pro (Pro features) with Elementor Pro 2.0 since it gives you most of Astra flexibilities?. (Astra, Elementor, and LearnDash only)?
Desam I have developed audiovisuals .I dont know how learn dash works for students in India , wherein there is quittance of LMS & reachability..Thanks
few hours ago I finished watching about LifterLMS and here's Adam with new one
Haha, I will be going over all the LMS plugins and have tutorials on all of them as well.
WPCrafter.com WordPress For Non-Techies seems I will be wasting my time watching more n more about LMS tuts than going to finish my project
LifterLMS is fantastic and it is the LMS plugin that I am using. Don't let the fact that I am also reviewing other LMS plugins discourage you at all. In fact, in this video I specifically compare LifterLMS to LearnDash and find them equal.
Hi Adam, I hope you can do a review of WPLMS. Thanks.
Hi Adam, always great videos! Video Progression - will this feature prevent students from fast forwarding thru the class? My licensing course requires they watch the entire video.
Hi Adam. You mention at the end of this video that you're going to do a tutorial with LearnDash and Astra. I've searched your channel and am unable to find it. Is it available yet?
Hi, Adam i have a quick question. When someone registers on your site and does not pay the subscription fee. The user profile is created in the WordPress user profile. This eventually blocks the username, is there a way to only add users after a payment is completed ?
Great Video Sir. Got to learn more than 60% all about LearnDash in the first watch. I gonna watch this video several times until I master learnDash. Thank you.
Hey Adam - going to go with LearnDash based on this overview - when I do the incognito link thing should I see an affiliate reference on the url? I don't see one and want to be sure you're getting your due :-)
Happy to hear that you think LearnDash is a worthwhile LMS solution now. The Astra integration is wonderful. I also purchased a few Uncanny Owl plugins that integrate with LearnDash.
Hi Adam, once again, what a really helpful video. Thank you.
I have one unanswered question, though: in your comparisons you didn’t mention WPCourseware and Thrive Apprentice. How do these compare to Learndash, in your opinion?
thanks adam you have presented a candidly on learndash
Awesome vid! So you promised a astra/learndash tutorial. Great, after watching your vid I am sold, so when will it be out? Im super excited to watch it!!!!
How can I use LearnDash to use it like Udemy so that instructors can create courses and get paid automatically for each purchase on their courses?
Great video Adam.... Hate to sound needy :) but any eta on the Learndash tutorial? I am so looking forward to getting started.
hello David, i have question; do you have any tutorial for creating an event website? Thanks for your answer
thank you for this video! What is a Knowledge Base block in you admin dash i saw? What plugin is it?
Great overview! Thank you so much. Looking for the masterclass.
U R the best!!! thanks
Thanks a lot Adam - very helpful/ I've kinda started with LifterLMS already, but I will take a look at your LearnDash tutorials as they are released.
I will be talking about and creating tutorials on both since I think both are great.
Well, that's even better news for me! Thanks a ton!
Adam I think Astra now only provides the site imports (eg the Coach one you mention) if you have the Agency version - or am I missing something?
If you are using Elementor, the Coach one is there for free. If you are using Beaver Builder, I am not sure.
If you use neither, none of the import sites are included unless you have Astra Agency, with BB a couple seem to be available and as you say with Elementor more are available including that one, but not all.
It confused the heck out of me initially 🙂
Great Video! Can't wait for the upcoming content :-)
Could you also please focus on the ability to control the front-end language and RTL settings? For example, if I want to install WP and LearnDash in English but all my content, courses and lessons will be in Hebrew, Do you have the option to change the labeling on everything on the front-end?
Great clip! I'm going to use it on my next project. Does it support Elementor?
Adam, thank you for this great video. It serves its purpose in its true meaning. Your intention to assist non-techies gets you a big thumbs up.
Thank you LIFE SHAPERS - Integrated Healing & Mind Transformation Center for Powerful Living & thanks for watching.
Hi Adam :D !! Hope you are fine. I bought Learndash (April 2) through your Special Bonus Offer. I recieved an email that mentioned that it could take 10 days process my request. It's already been 10 days and I wonder if you already have the Learndash course available ? Any news ?
Sorry I'm a little behind on that Olga. I'll get through them today and make sure I add something extra when I see your name.
@@WPCrafter No problem Adam !! You have done lots of things for your followers. I appreciate your work and your support !! Thanks a lot !!
Adam. Been peeking at your videos for some time now. "Long in the tooth" professional but I'm still impressed with your teaching skills and transparency. Keep it up. I've subscribed to your channel today.
Hi Adam,
Do u know any Big LMS provider that takes in multiple active user (unltd) at a cheaper rate ?
I see all LMS provider giving package ltd to 50, 100, 1000 active users and at expensive rate.
All the plug-ins I talked about on my website have unlimited users. All the software as a service providers have limitations because they want to get more money out of you.
Hi Question, Does Learn Dash has a "Landing Page" plug in similar the LifterLMS plug in you discuss in a different video? Do you have a video comparing these two LMS platforms (LearnDash vs LifterLMS). Thanks in advance.
That plugin was made by Brainstorm Force and they made the same thing for LearnDash. I don't have a comparison video, but I do have a written comparison on my website. That being said, I think the features coming in LearnDash v3, which is due in a few months will set it way ahead of the pack.
@@WPCrafter Thanks for the quick response.... I think that LearnDash will be it :0) off course through you. I just got the Astra Mini Agency package...through you. Used a personal email. I appreciate all of the great videos...
dear sir your videos are extremely helpful thanks for that.. please make a tutorial how to create a social media platform like facebook in WordPress.
thanks
Thank you
Does Thrive themes ( suite of apps ) work with LearnDash?
can i have a video for creating course and selling using learndash from scratch to finish?
Working on that very video :-)
waiting for it ... :)
You have so much integrity! I really respect that! Also,you have helped me so much! God bless you
Can i provide a pannle to client to upload image from thier side
Does OceanWp integrate with LearnDash similarly to Astra?
Unfortunately not.
@@WPCrafter Thank you Adam for all the amazing videos you create, incredibly helpful. You have a very broad reach around what seems like an endless number of issues and questions I have - and there you are every time with your wisdom and experience. LOL
Wow thanks for saying that Robert. Last year I really slacked on responding to comments because I was overwhelmed with launching CartFlows. However I'm getting back on top of it this year just because I want to help as many people as possible.
