LearnDash is a course platform plugin that integrates directly with WordPress.

Note: A Showit Advanced Blog subscription is required to use the LearnDash plugin.

⚠️ LearnDash does work well on Showit but it does require some additional blog templates and additional plugins in order to have a fully functional membership site.

Below we'll detail the Showit blog template requirements.

Additional plugins like UnCanny Toolkit can help with additional functionality and reporting.

For full use of LearnDash, please refer to their own documentation.
