Design Upgrade for LearnDash vs WPCode – Insert Headers and Footers + Custom Code Snippets – WordPress Code Manager

LearnDash is a powerful learning management system (LMS) for managing your online courses, but there are some areas where the design falls short. In order to provide your students with an exceptional learning experience, you need a professional design. Enter Design Upgrade for LearnDash Design Upgrade for LearnDash completely redesigns every aspect of LearnDash so that it closely resembles your existing WordPress theme. No settings or custom code. Just activate & enjoy! Compatible with LD3 & “Legacy” Templates We’ll automatically detect whether you’re using the “LearnDash 3.0” or “Legacy” template, and assign styles appropriately. If you’re still running LearnDash 2.x, all of the same design upgrades that you’ve always enjoyed will still be there. See below for a list of what’s new. Features Tested with LearnDash 4.3.0.2 NEW: Improved styles for the new LearnDash registration process/page Global: Larger clickable areas for all course content, navigation & Focus Mode areas Buttons: All buttons have matching rounded corners & increased font size Font Sizes: These will now be inherited from your theme, which should increase your font sizes across the board Focus Mode: Improved sidebar tray design, Course Sections, shadow added to mobile menu, collapse arrow flips to show current menu state, and more. Focus Mode: Top navigation bar received several small improvements Focus Mode: Improved styles for Focus Mode comments, which were added in LearnDash 3.1 Animations: Subtle animations for LearnDash tooltips & the Focus Mode top menu Profile: Several styles were improved & standardized Login/Registration: Unified styles for all form fields Course Grid: Equal height columns & other small tweaks WisdmLabs Ratings, Reviews & Feedback design upgrades Design improvements for WisdmLabs’ LearnDash Group Registration plugin Improved print styles Also: Small tweaks were made to assignments, pagination, the “User Status” widget and more. LearnDash 2.x “Legacy” Features Tested with LearnDash 2.6.6. We no longer support these features and highly recommend using the LearnDash 3.0 active template.

Brand new LearnDash users: There is absolutely no reason not to try it out. At the very least, it will give your site a more consistent design. If you plan to customize LearnDash further, you can still do so using a child theme or Additional CSS in the Customizer. Seasoned LearnDash veterans: If you have not made any customizations to your LearnDash design, but would like to improve it, give us a shot. You might want to try it out on a test site first, but you can deactivate it with one click and return to your previous design. You might also want to give your students a heads up that you’re updating the design. But we feel confident that they’ll like it 🙂 LearnDash developers: If you’re a developer who builds LearnDash sites for your clients, this could save you hours (maybe even days) of development time. LearnDash’s markup & CSS is a beast to customize. This will give you a much easier baseline to work with. We designed the plugin to be just specific enough to override LearnDash’s default styles, but not so specific that you’ll need to use a ton of selectors to override our specifity. All CSS in child themes and Additional CSS will take precedence over our styles. Pro Version Need custom styles? Our pro version uses the Customizer to bring you over 110 customizable design options. Completely customize your LearnDash site with just a few clicks. Pro Features Achievements Add-On: 10 new customization options Show/Hide various course & profile features Disable expand/collapse links & show all by default Course Content Lists: Update background & text colors, hover effects, customize line separators, remove the list count numbers and more Progress Bar: Customize the color, border radius & height, add stripes, and animate the bar on page load Buttons: Add your own background & text colors [ld_profile]: Avatar shape, custom “edit profile” link, hide profile info, hide quiz information, and more Login/Registration Popup: 10+ design options Focus Mode: 20+ design options, including 7 for Focus Mode comments Course Navigation Widget: 15+ design options Course Grid Add-On: 20+ design options Alerts: 9 custom colors, plus a few other options Tooltips: customize the background & text color Uncanny Groups: buttons, border radius & improved styles are applied to many Uncanny Groups frontend elements Tin Canny Reporting: 12 design options for Tin Canny reports on the front-end Upgrade to Pro Today » Theme Compatibility Design Upgrade for LearnDash should work on most themes, assuming they have not customized the LearnDash markup in any way. While we can’t guarantee full compatibility, we have tested with the following themes. Tested With We have tested with the following themes, and they all appear to be compatible: Astra Divi GeneratePress eLumine (when using the “LearnDash 3.0” active template or eLumine’s “Elementary Layouts”) LearnMate Edufire Neve OceanWP Incompatible Themes BuddyBoss Platform (released June 2019) Boss. / Social Learner (If you deactivate the “Boss for LearnDash” plugin, it will still work in “Legacy” mode) eLumine (when using the “Legacy” active template or any version of LearnDash before 3.0) Incompatible Plugins LearnDash Visual Customizer by SnapOrbital: The Visual Customizer takes a similar approach to designing LearnDash components, and thus the code conflicts with ours. Uncanny Owl Toolkit Compatibility We recognize the Uncanny LearnDash Toolkit by Uncanny Owl is a popular LearnDash plugin that adds some nice features. We’re in the process of making our plugin fully compatible with theirs. Here’s where we are so far: Reset Progress button: Button styles upgraded Simple Course Timer modal: Button styles upgraded [uo_dashboard]: Styles upgraded [uo_courses]: Styles upgraded [uo_breadcrumbs]: Compatible; Considering upgrades [uo_lessons_topics_grid]: Compatible; Considering upgrades [uo_login_ui]: Compatible; Considering upgrades NOTE: Uncanny LearnDash Toolkit styles are only upgraded if you’re using the “LearnDash 3.0” active template.

General design improvements will be made to all frontend elements output by the [wdm_group_users] shortcode. Browser Support A few techniques we use to improve the LearnDash design are only supported in the latest versions of major browsers. For the most part, as long as you’re not using Internet Explorer, most (if not all) of our plugin’s design upgrades will work. We support the latest versions of the following browsers: Google Chrome Mozilla Firefox Apple Safari Microsoft Edge Chrome for Android Firefox for Android iOS Safari (not tested, but should work) We do not support any version of Internet Explorer, however, we do offer a few code snippets & suggestions to fix a few issues in IE11. See the IE11 section below in FAQ. Roadmap As LearnDash adds new features, it is our goal to keep this plugin updated. Features planned for future release: New features for the Quiz Reporting Extension by WisdmLabs Compatibility with more Uncanny LearnDash Toolkit modules We’d love to hear from you!

Insert Headers & Footers + Full WordPress Code Snippets Plugin WPCode (formerly known as Insert Headers and Footers by WPBeginner) is the most popular code snippets plugin for WordPress used by over 2 million websites. We make it easy for you to add code snippets in WordPress without having to edit your theme’s functions.php file. Our simple insert headers and footers interface allows you to insert code like Google Analytics, custom CSS, Facebook Pixel, and more to your WordPress site’s header and footer as well other areas of your website. No need to edit your theme files! Aside from Header and Footer scripts, you can also use WPCode to insert custom PHP code snippets, JavaScript code snippets, CSS code snippets, HTML code snippets, and text snippets with full conditional logic support. We took the pain out of adding custom code snippets in WordPress and made it easy. I have been using Insert Headers and Footers and it is such a useful tool. Super helpful and the very best of its kind. Highly recommend The_Gibble – WordPress user Quick Overview of WPCode from WPBeginner Introducing New WPCode Pro While WPCode Lite offers tons of powerful features for free, we listened to user feedback and created WPCode Pro with even more amazing features to improve your workflow. This includes smart conditional logic, saving code snippets to cloud library, code revisions, page-specific snippets, deeper integration with popular plugins like WooCommerce, Easy Digital Downloads, and so much more. Click here to purchase the best premium WordPress code snippet plugin now! Future Proof Code Snippet Management Most WordPress tutorial websites ask you to add code snippets to your theme’s functions.php file. This makes managing code snippets messy, and it also prevents you from updating your theme. If you ever update your theme or switch to another theme, then you will lose all custom code functions that you added in your functions.php file. WPCode solves this by providing you an easy way to insert header and footer scripts along with other code snippets directly from your WordPress dashboard. These code snippets actually run as if they were in your theme’s functions.php file. Our smart code snippet validation helps you prevent common code errors to ensure you never break your website when adding code snippets or header and footer scripts. New WPCode Cloud Library even allows you to store all your custom code snippets in a cloud library, so you can easily re-use code snippets across multiple website projects and save time. You can keep your code snippets completely private or share it with the community to give back while boosting your social profile. This plugin allows me to not only add things to my site whenever needed, but it takes me only seconds to accomplish it. David Weber – WordPress user Full Code Snippets Library and Code Generators Ever wanted a central place to find all the most popular WordPress code snippets that are tested and proven to work? When we started Insert Headers and Footers plugin, we did too. So we built a WordPress code snippets library right inside the WPCode plugin. You will find verified PHP code snippets for popular feature requests like disable REST API, disable XML-RPC, disable comments, allow SVG file uploads, disable Gutenberg, add Classic Editor, and more without installing separate plugins for each. I was very hesitant to get into any of the code for my website. Your plugin made it easy for me to do. Conbrio75 – WordPress user We also built the ability to save your code snippets to WPCode Cloud Library, so you can easily re-use it on your other websites, client projects, or even share it with the larger community. WPCode Cloud Library helps you better organize your code snippets in one central location, so you can save more time and speed up your workflow when managing websites. No more wasting time looking for custom notes or Github gists. Aside from our growing code snippets library, we also have WordPress code generators to help you quickly get ready-to-use custom code using the latest WordPress coding standards and API’s. Conditional Logic for Code Snippets + Code Insertion Priority Our goal with WPCode was to create a WordPress code snippets plugin that’s both EASY and POWERFUL. That’s why aside from our global header and footer scripts, we added advanced features like conditional logic for code snippets and made it easy. Instead of learning WordPress conditional logic queries, you can use our beginner-friendly conditional logic user interface to: Load code snippets for logged in users only Load PHP code snippets for specific user roles Load PHP code snippets only on specific page URLs Insert header and footer pixel scripts on specific pages Show code snippets based on type of page Run code snippet only on certain post types Load header and footer code snippet based on referrer source and more… We also added both automatic code insertion and manual code output using shortcodes. Our Auto Insert feature allows you to run the code snippet everywhere or choose from custom options like: Run code snippet only on frontend Run code snippet only in WordPress admin area Add header and footer scripts sitewide Insert PHP code snippet before or after post content Insert code snippet before or after specific paragraph Insert code snippet on specific archive pages Insert code snippets after specific WooCommerce function (Pro Feature) Aside from that, we also added a visual code snippet priority system, so you can choose the order for your custom functions to avoid code conflict. This is such a useful plugin! It makes it so much easier to include things on your website! Understoryliving – WordPress user And for even more flexibility and customization, we have added the ability for you to add page-specific code snippets right from the WordPress classic editor as well as the Gutenberg editor. You can even load code snippets based on device type such as mobile only code snippets, desktop only code snippets, etc. Import and Export Code Snippets Managing multiple websites or developing in a staging environment? We offer an easy way to import and export your custom code snippets, functions, and header and footer scripts to help you save time. You can also save your code snippets to WPCode Cloud (Pro feature), so you can easily re-use the same code snippets across multiple websites. This also allows you to better organize your code snippets instead of wasting time searching for random Github gists. Simple plugin I use in quite every site. Very useful to insert scripts and tags. tommasoperego – WordPress user Full WPCode Feature List The simple interface of WPCode plugin (formerly known as Insert Headers and Footers) gives you one place where you can insert header and footer scripts as well as custom code snippets rather than dealing with dozens of different plugins.
