Course platforms
This topic holds 84 plugins for building and selling online courses. LearnDash LMS, Tutor LMS Pro, Masteriyo PRO and WP Courseware are each described as a learning management plugin or system for WordPress. Thrive Apprentice by Thrive Themes creates and runs online courses on your own site, and Academy LMS Pro by Academy LMS creates, manages and sells them. Sensei Pro, from Automattic, is a learning management plugin titled as a way to sell online courses with WooCommerce.
Add-ons for a course platform
Two brands account for more than half of the 84 plugins: LearnDash with 31 and LearnPress with 20. Some entries extend one platform. Group Registration by WisdmLabs handles group enrollment and management for LearnDash, LearnPress Stripe by ThimPress connects the Stripe payment gateway to LearnPress, and MasterStudy LMS PRO Plus by StylemixThemes extends the MasterStudy LMS system.
Courses with members and community
MemberPress Courses by Caseproof adds a learning management system to MemberPress, and the MemberPress brand has 4 plugins in this topic. FluentCommunity Pro by WPManageNinja is titled a community and course plugin, with member profiles, activity feeds, real-time chat and discussion threads. If gated content matters more than lessons, the membership plugins topic is the closer match.
What to look at when choosing
- Platform first. Add-ons are written for one system: Group Registration for LearnDash, LearnPress Stripe for LearnPress.
- How you take payment. Sensei Pro is described around WooCommerce, LearnPress Stripe adds Stripe to LearnPress, and Academy LMS Pro covers selling courses.
- Courses alone or a community too. FluentCommunity Pro adds profiles and discussion threads, while Thrive Apprentice and WP Courseware are described for the courses themselves.
