Instructors can build and publish a full course from the frontend dashboard, without opening the WordPress admin. The editor has the same three steps as the admin one: Overview, Builder and Settings. Features marked Pro need Academy LMS Pro.
1. Let instructors create courses
An admin sets this first. Go to Academy LMS → Settings → Pages → Instructor Page, turn on the instructor options you need and click Save.
Instructors can publish only when the Allow publishing course is on. Otherwise their courses wait for admin review.
2. Open the course editor
In the instructor dashboard, go to Courses → All Courses and click Add New Course.
3. Fill in the Overview
4. Build the curriculum
Add a lesson
Fill in the lesson fields and click Add Lesson:
A “Lesson Created” message confirms it, and the lesson appears in the curriculum.
To use items you already made, click Reuse Content and pick them.
5. Set course settings
Open the Settings step.
For Content Drip and Course Active Timer, see Content Drip and Course Active Timer.
6. Publish the course
Click the arrow next to Update (or Save) and choose a status:
You can also tick Feature in catalog or Password protect. Choose Publish, then click Update.
7. Manage your courses
Go to Courses → All Courses in the instructor dashboard to edit, preview or delete any course you created.
