Might be useful in some cases but it hides all course content with no option to select, for example, just lessons. Ideally we’d be able to show the primary course landing page with description and details but not allow students to see lessons until selected dates.

Thanks for your time and effort.

Works but a lot of room for improvement

From a functional standpoint the plugin works fine so I am giving it 4 stars as I’ve not experienced any issues with it. That said, it’s not the most intuitive, attractive or useable UI and from an admin perspective, the lack of a recurring course scheduling feature is significant. Use case: I built a school LMS with 400 courses spanning from September to June with traditional school periods, Homeroom – Period 9. I had to manually set each period at the respective time at weekly intervals from September to June (42 weeks for every period).
