By default, you write lessons in Academy LMS’s own lesson editor. If you want the full WordPress block editor instead, switch how Academy LMS stores lessons. This guide explains the setting, what it changes and how to switch.
The setting: Optimize Lesson Data Performance
Academy LMS can store lessons in two ways. You choose with Optimize Lesson Data Performance in Academy LMS → Settings.

On (default) |

|
Where lessons are stored |
Academy LMS’s own fast table |

|
Edit lessons in the block editor |
No |
Yes |
|
Learn page customization |
Limited |
Full (custom templates, page builders) |
Keep it on unless you need the block editor or deep learn page customization.
Before you switch
Changing this setting moves all lesson data from one storage to the other. It can affect student progress, course structure and page loading.
Switch to the block editor
The course builder still works the same way. You add and order lessons there as before.
With the setting off, we also recommend turning on PHP rendering for the learn page. See Learn Page: Classic vs Block.
Switch back
Turn Optimize Lesson Data Performance on again. Academy LMS moves the lessons back to its own table. Take a backup first, the same as before.
