One of the great things about using WordPress for your LMS is how easy it is to add custom functionality using add-ons.
If you have custom needs for your LearnDash powered learning program, then chances are there is “an app for that”. Okay, maybe not an “app” – but a plugin! 🙂
Whether you are using LearnDash currently or not, below are some add-ons worth checking out!

Curious to check out some other add-ons? Head on over to the add-on page!
Hi, great to hear about all the Add-On’s. We are building a membership site with courses, videos and other resources. We are using LearnDash for the courses. Is there a way of creating a resources area within LearnDash that would showcase the videos and other downloads for members access? Would this be a custom build or is there an Add-On that might help? Or any other advice that anyone has. Thanks
Yes, you can use the ‘student’ shortcode for this 🙂
