  • Show LearnDash Certificates: Use a simple shortcode to display a list of all certificates (course and quiz) earned by the current user.
  • Show or Hide Content: Use shortcodes to show or hide content based on whether or not a user is signed in. Great for Open course types.
  • Log In/Log Out Links: Add Log In and Log Out links to menus, or to any page or widget with a shortcode.
  • LearnDash Breadcrumbs: Add breadcrumb links that support courses, lessons, topics and quizzes. Also supports woocommerce, custom post types with or without taxonomies & tags, pages and blog posts.

Fixes issues LearnDash's developers would not

LearnDash is great. Until it’s not. There are some head scratching limitations that you only learn about once you get deep into using it. My primary interest was breadcrumbs (which work flawlessly) but I wound up using it for the Automatic Lesson Completion (a nagging issue everyone complained about) and the Resume button (a problem I didn’t know I had). I feel bad to accept this without paying for it because it has really helped me out.

simple, life-saving

Here are the 3 tools I’ve tried.

Front End Login: Adds a custom login form and can optionally force users to be verified by an admin before they can sign in.
Add Log In and Log Out: links to menus, or to any page or widget with a shortcode.
Menu Item Visibility: Toggles the visibility of menu items based on whether or not users are signed in to the site.

A life-saver because I had huge problems with the login-register pages (confusion b/w LMS, WP user and WP admin login urls, page names and iThemes restrictions). Naturally, I had just updated the course programme on the LMS. Logical – no login/no registration, right?!

As last-ditch effort, I created a new page, placed the UncannyOwl code and voilà, login/logout/registration were up and ready, and formatted automatically in 2 minutes. I never expected something so easy.

It made me look good, too. I’m a small business owner and the next day, a couple of my clients were really impressed to see the menus items change as I showed them around a course.

I look forward to trying out the other features.
