As you begin using LearnDash, it’s important to familiarize yourself with the settings screen. This is where you’ll configure key global options that apply across your entire learning platform, including courses, lessons, topics, and quizzes.
When you first install LearnDash, it comes with pre-configured default settings. Take the time to review these carefully. It’s much easier to set them up correctly now than to make adjustments later when your courses are already built. A solid setup from the start will help you streamline course creation and ensure a smoother experience for your learners.
Access your LearnDash general settings by navigating to LEARNDASH LMS > SETTINGS in the WordPress admin area. At the top of the screen, you’ll see a menu that takes you to different settings pages. To learn more about these settings, you can check out these articles:

When you visit a settings page for the first time, you might see a message asking if you want to share usage statistics with LearnDash and the StellarWP Family of Brands. This is completely up to you. If you choose to opt in, you’ll get helpful tips to optimize the way you work with LearnDash. If you don’t want to opt in, that’s okay too, everything will still work just fine.
Take your time, and enjoy building your platform!
Once you make a selection, the page will refresh and the opt-in will no longer display. If you change your mind about sharing data, you can always update your preference in LearnDash LMS > Settings > Advanced > Data Sharing.
By taking the time to review and adjust your LearnDash settings, you’re laying a solid foundation for your learning platform. With everything in place, you’ll be ready to create engaging courses that meet the needs of your learners. Enjoy the journey ahead!
