Lifter LMS Basic Settings

I am a WordPress instructor, and I often have the opportunity to teach the same content, such as how to get started with WordPress and how to use WordPress. I came to know about the Learning Management System (LMS) because I thought it would be nice if my customers could learn through e-learning.

I also learned that you can get started for free by using a WordPress plugin, and this time I'll explain how to install a plugin called Lifter LMS. This is a recommended plugin for those who want to provide a higher level of education by taking lessons and courses online.

This time, we will explain the basic settings of LifterLMS!
