It is a new year and this means new functionality for all of you using LearnDash!

To kick things off I am pleased to announce our first add-on release of 2017.

Without question this new add-on was one of the more requested feature enhancements we received all of last year – it only made sense to start off the new year by getting it into your hands!

As many of you know, when you use LearnDash you have a variety options on how you want to protect your content. You can choose the built-in content protection, or you can protect the lessons with a membership plugin.

And let me tell you that if you are going to use a membership plugin then you cannot go wrong using MemberPress.

In a recent years MemberPress has become one of the “go to” membership solutions for WordPress, and for good reason. They flat-out excel in memberships, grouping, coupons, reminders, reports, and more!

The team behind the product is top-notch as well so you know that you are in good hands and will be fully supported along the way.

Add-On Features

Associate membership levels to one or more courses: Create a membership level and map it to one, or multiple, LearnDash courses. When the membership level is purchased the user is auto-enrolled into the associated courses.

Automatic course removal upon membership cancellation: When a user cancels their membership then the integration will automatically un-enroll them from their courses as well.

Create trial membership levels with various payment gateways: Offer a limited-time free trial to to entice people to purchase full access to your courses. Sell your memberships using Stripe, PayPal, or Authorize.net.

How It Works

To use this integration all you need is to have both LearnDash and MemberPress installed and activated. When you install and activate this integration you will have the ability to map your membership levels to LearnDash courses (as shown in the image above).

Set your course price type to “Closed” in LearnDash and you’re all set! When someone purchases a membership level they are automatically enrolled into any course mapped to that level.

It really doesn’t get much simpler than that! 🙂

Where To Download

This is a free add-on created by LearnDash. It is available for download on the support site.
