LearnDash Instructor Role

On a LearnDash site with several teachers, giving everyone full admin access is risky and the WordPress backend can feel cluttered for people who only want to teach. This plugin creates an instructor role with restricted access, so each teacher sees the tools they need for courses, lessons, topics and quizzes and little else.

Instructors can work from a front-end dashboard built on Gutenberg blocks, or from a dedicated backend dashboard, depending on their role and preference. Course creation on the front end works with Elementor and Gutenberg. Admins can add approval steps, receive email alerts, and set up WooCommerce course sales with commission tracking for each instructor.

Features

• Dedicated instructor role: Instructors get restricted access to LearnDash so they can manage their own courses securely, without reaching the wider settings of the site.
• Front-end dashboard: A dashboard built on Gutenberg blocks lets instructors create courses, manage quizzes and update content directly from the front end of the site.
• Elementor course creator: Instructors can build full courses, including lessons, topics and quizzes, in a decluttered interface that is compatible with the Elementor page builder.
• Multi-instructor collaboration: Several instructors can co-manage the same course, and courses can be shared, which suits teams that build and teach material together.
• WooCommerce course sales: Instructors can create paid course products and sell them through a WooCommerce store that is integrated with the plugin.
• Commissions and PayPal payouts: Commissions are tracked for each instructor, with automated payout options through PayPal, so revenue sharing stays clear and organized.
• Admin approval workflow: Administrators can review and approve courses before they are published, which helps keep content quality consistent across the platform.
• Email alerts for admins: Administrators receive email notifications when instructors create or update course content or WooCommerce products, making it easier to monitor changes.
