Best CoursePress Pro Alternative WordPress LMS
Looking for a WordPress LMS plugin to replace CoursePress Pro? WP Courseware has you covered!
As you know, sometimes, good things do come to a close. In recent news, WPMU DEV announced they are sunsetting many of their premium plugins, but one in particular is CoursePress Pro. CoursePress Pro is a learning management system that was launched back in 2014 a couple years after WP Courseware was launched.
Since WP Courseware's launch in 2012, it has grown significantly over the years and has been the primary focus for us here at Fly Plugins. WP Courseware is still growing and going strong. We are proud to say that WP Courseware is in this for the long haul.
This is not a negative post aimed at WPMU DEV, it appears that WPMU DEV simply needed to clear their slate to work on projects that were producing better returns for their business. Sometimes business decisions have to be made to keep the business moving forward.
WP Courseware is our primary focus and our business is centered around it. We do have a couple other plugins on the market, but they simply complement WP Courseware and can benefit your online course. All that to say, WP Courseware will be around a long time and we don't have any plans of halting any of our efforts for WP Courseware.
WP Courseware comparatively has the same features as CoursePress Pro. Here are a few features that we'd like to highlight.
-
Unlimited Everything
