The Original WordPress LMS Plugin
The first and most widely-trusted WordPress LMS plugin, WP Courseware makes course creation simple and fast with an intuitive, drag-and-drop course builder and all the features you need to create world-class courses.
We've been developing WordPress courseware longer than else.
When we launched WP Courseware in 2012, it was the only WordPress LMS plugin on the market. And we've come a long way since then. Just to get acquainted, here's a look at WP Courseware by the numbers.
It's nice to meet you! We're here to help you create your online course with WordPress.

Why do some of the most successful WordPress-powered websites trust their training content to ?
After cataloging over 25,000 feature requests during the last decade, we've listened. And we'd like to think we listen to our users pretty well.

If you have a website, can upload videos, and you know your way around WordPress, you've got this.
It would be impossible to list all of the features we've added over the last 10 years on this page...
But here's a list of some of the features our users rely on most. And if you ever have an idea for functionality which our WP Courseware WordPress LMS plugin doesn't include, we'd be really happy to hear from you. We've meticulously logged every feature request we've received since 2012 and if your request is already on the list, it gets upvoted to help us plan our development roadmap.

Have a question? Great! We have answers.
Absolutely! We do have a fully functioning demo site where you can register, log in, and then navigate three sample courses just as a student would.
You can still utilize the plugin if your license lapses, but we do strongly recommend renewing to ensure that you receive useful feature updates, bug fixes, security patches, ongoing compatibility with the WordPress core code, and product support. With so many themes and plugins continually being updated and frequent WordPress core releases, eventually outdated versions of the plugin will cease to work properly.
Certainly! Just log into our member portal, navigate to the Licenses menu item, and click on View Upgrades. From there you can upgrade your license for simply the difference in price.
You sure can! So far, we have not come across any WordPress themes that WP Courseware won’t work with. If for any reason it doesn’t work with your theme, we will work with you to ensure it does!
Currently, the two-site license is our lowest license level. Most of our customers have a development, testing, or staging site in addition to their live production site, so we added an additional license key activation to our single-site license price to prevent customers from having to buy a second license just for development purposes.
No, there are no additional plugins necessary. WP Courseware includes payment gateway support, a built-in shopping cart with a variety of payment and pricing options, and even membership functionality.
At the moment, WP Courseware itself does not include built-in webinar functionality. However, the course units are simply WordPress posts, so you can embed any content that you'd normally place within other WordPress posts or pages. Most webinar services have a free WordPress plugin to allow you to embed sessions into WordPress content. There are even free third-party plugins in the WordPress.org plugin repository such as this one which we've successfully used to embed Zoom calls in our own course content.
Yes! We support SCORM, xAPI (or the Tin Can API), cmi5 and Advanced Video Tracking through the GrassBlade LRS integration.
No problem! Head on over to our Questions page to send us a message and we'll be happy to help! We usually respond within a few hours.
