Opening an online school with WordPress Part 2: Creating a course

We are launching an online school that will teach you how to create WordPress without coding.

The plugin we will use is Lifter LMS, an e-learning system called Learn Management System (LMS).

In Part 1 of Opening an Online School with WordPress, I wrote a memo about installing plugins, installing the theme, and setting up the initial settings.

Opening an online school with WordPress - Part 1

This time we will continue with that.

Importing a course template

Lifter LMS is a plugin made overseas, so the documentation is in English.
So, first I'll import the course template and then customize it!

[Lifter LMS] ＞ [Import]

Import the [Course Template] in the box.

• LifterLMS Quickstart Course - Import Basic Settings
• Free Course Lead Magnet Template – A template for those who want to create mini-courses
• Course Template – A template for those who want to create professional courses

Import successful!

Add a course template

[Course Template] has been added under [Course] > [Course].

When you click on it, you will see a course template.

Block Editor Parts of Lifter LMS

This course template also uses Lifter LMS parts that have been added to the block editor.

Create a course that was displayed in the course syllabus.

There are course templates in [Course] > [Course] on the dashboard. Previously, we looked at the part that was displayed on the front side by clicking or editing the title. This time,Click 【Builder】To do.

As you can see in the attachment, the course is here.

Click the + icon to add more courses to Section 1.

On the front it looks like this:

The titles of each lesson were decided in advance.

The content of the online school I want to build this time is mainly building WordPress sites with no coding. In addition to that, I would like to support those who want to earn money from home by actually doing things like server contracts, initial WordPress setup, building membership sites, building reservation systems, etc.

First of all, I want to create an e-learning system using a no-code WordPress site.

• Course title ⇒ No-code WordPress site construction
• Section ⇒ Main heading
• Lesson ⇒ Detailed steps

has been set.

Adding items is very easy. First, I edited the template.

You can add a new section in the [Section] section on the right side, or click [New Lesson] with a section selected to add a new lesson to the selected section.

When you hover the mouse over the text, you can move the mouse up and down, and there will be icons such as a trash can, so you can intuitively create an outline of the course you want to create.

The front page has also been changed to show the list of lessons you created.

Add a lecturer

Add an instructor by adding a user via WordPress.

On the dashboard, click [User] > [Add New]

Add [Instructor] to the permissions.

When creating a course page, select the Instructor block and click the LMS icon to add an instructor. Search for and add instructors.

This allows you to display multiple instructors.
