A lot of issues with this plugin.

  • I was really hopeful about this plugin but it isn’t working well.

    1) It doesn’t work with a lot of themes. The Courses page can’t be seen on a lot of themes. I know because after spending hours on a theme I liked and downloading this plugin, got to the Courses page and even though the shortcode was in, it didn’t show. Then tried many other themes and the problem was the same on a lot of themes.

    2) The payment page doesn’t work like it should. Neither Stripe or Paypal work. Emailed the plugin creator and got no response.

    3) The customer service is not the greatest. Emailed the plugin creator right from their website, thinking it would be faster but after a few days no response.

    The biggest issue is that it doesn’t work with a lot of themes. That is a huge deal because most people get their theme first and then get the plugin. To find out that it doesn’t work with a lot of themes is BEYOND disappointing.

    This plugin hasn’t been updated in two months and WordPress has updated their stuff four times. Hopefully there will be an update and if there is and it works with most themes and the payment page works, then I may change my review. In the meantime, I can’t wait for customer service to get back to me, I’ve waited long enough. I’ve got money that needs to be made with courses. Got to find a new plugin.

    The plugin utilizes custom post type templates to display the courses page, single course page, and the single lesson page. The html of these templates can be modified by either using the custom action hooks inside these templates to add HTML tags required by the theme or by copying these templates from the plugin’s “templates” folder to the theme’s folder, so, they can be overridden inside the theme. There are more instructions in the Theming Educator article. Nevertheless, I’m thinking about the way to make it easier to customize for any theme, but it takes time.

    The payment page should be created in the WordPress admin (under the “Pages” menu). This page should contain the following shortcode: [ibedu_payment_page] and this page should be assigned to the “Payment” setting on the admin page – Educator >> Settings >> General. There are more details in the Setup the Required Pages documentation article.

    The plugin was not updated in 2 months, but it was tested with WordPress 4.4.
