I really want to give a positive review but I can't so long as this error persists. I use up to date WP with Kadence, one of the most common themes. But Sensei is not working right.
WordPress - are you actively working on this? It would be terrific if you did maintain it. A native plugin to turn WordPress into an LMS is a worthy thing.
My issue: after updating module/lesson content the modules get duplicated multiple times and append the name of the instructor to the name. It makes no sense and looks ridiculous.
So your module url goes from "WordPress course" to "WordPress course (instructorname)" to "WordPress course (instructorname, instrcutorname)." It's absolutely unworkable and sucks from an admin or user perspective.
Please fix and maintain this plugin. I will have to find something else at the moment.
Just downloaded the stable translation of pt_BR language and when active the course,lesson,quiz page stop working and the site always load the index.php from the theme.
It seem something is broke in the translation files that causes the wordpress loop not seeing the template files, and always load the site home/index.
I downloaded the .mo and .po from https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/sensei-lms/stable/pt-br/default/
And moved the files to: [wordpress root]/wp-content/languages/plugins/
I know the dark mode in the WordPress default theme is pretty new, but nevertheless it seems that this plugin has some issues with it as text does disappear when dark mode is switched on.
I have a very complex site so I needed certain functionality especially with regards to course progress and grading that I just didnt find anywhere else.
I have tried
-Learnpress (I really tried to get this to work but in the end it was very buggy, quiz results dont get stored it says the student skipped questions when they didnt, theme conflicts so scrollbars go missing for example and content cant be viewed, gradebook is very good though)
-Learndash (too expensive and every feature extra has to to be paid for)
-Lifter (can't remember why but I didnt like it, probably grading was part of pro which was too expensive)
-Tutor LMS (problems with gradebook)
-Masterstudy (great features marketed but couldnt get much to work no shortcodes given and no response from support so I didnt want to buy pro if support is that bad)
I also looked at Moodle, Edmodo, Canvas and Forma but I didn't want a complicated install on a server I wanted something that integrated with wordpress without worrying about a seamless interface between UX and backend, auto updates and the other benefits of wordpress that I've come to love over the years.
When I first tested Sensei it fell short of my expectations but now it seems much more powerful and I am relieved to have found a system that works more or less how I need.
Future feature requests
-The gradebook should able to be seen by teachers on the frontend not only school admin on the backend. They should be able to see each class/course and their own students which they enrolled. Students should be able to enroll under a teacher as especially in English the courses are often all the same but each teacher presents the material.
-Zoom and Google Meet etc as paid integrations
Thanks Devs for a great product please continue working on it, there are a lot of LMS's out there all battling for the next big market, you have something good here!
I've been using Sensei for a one and a half year now and love the how easy it is to use. Especially the structure with courses, lessons and quiz pages that makes it easy to create a learning environment that makes progression fun for the learner.
Thanks to whomever updated the plugin update files last evening. Complete re-install of site and plugin with today's June 8 update. Login/Register forms on MyCourses now corrected.
