Courses require registering/login

Hi @ifereday ,

Sensei was designed with user enrolment in mind. Under the Sensei settings, you could enable Sensei to display the full lessons to non-logged-in users. However, most of the features such as progress tracking or quizzes will still require users to log in.

Are your viewers able to view the lessons despite the log in prompt? A quick workaround of hiding that prompt would be using CSS like:

.sensei-course-theme__frame.sensei-lms-notice.sensei-course-theme-locked-lesson-notice {
    display: none;
}

Hope this helps.

Sadly, that doesn’t help. Clicking on a lesson just leads to another request to login or register. Hiding the prompt will make no difference.

I can’t see anything that allows viewers to see full lessons without logging in. Unless you mean disabling access permissions in settings? That I’ve already done.

I don’t need any progress tracking or other features. I just need materials presented in a course and lesson format. My existing site using Learnpress is https://www.learning-thai.com

I’m desperate to ditch Learnpress – it’s caused me many headaches.

Any more ideas?

Could you share some screenshot of how does the lesson look like in public view? You can upload screenshots using https://snipboard.io/.

This is what the lessons look like on my site, without logging in:

The login requirement is disabled here:

I see that even though you have disabled the login requirement, there is still the warning box saying “You don’t have access to this lesson”. This makes no sense to me, and is exactly the problem I face.

In course view there is a “Take course” button that leads to a registration screen. I don’t need this.

On the lesson pages is the large warning box. Again, I don’t want users to see this.

Hi again,

The “You don’t have access to this lesson” message & warning box, that appears when a student is viewing a lesson without logging in and enrolling in a course if the Learning Mode theme is active for the courses.

You can remove this message by editing the learning mode Lesson template and removing the notice section. Please refer to this screenshot https://d.pr/i/OroFSN

More information on the learning mode templates here https://senseilms.com/documentation/learning-mode/

You can also remove the “Take course” button by editing the Course page directly from WordPress admin and deleting the button.

Best,

Thanks for that. I removed the notice from the lesson template easily enough.

The ‘Take Course” button is still a problem though, after selecting the course from the “Courses” page. https://snipboard.io/71pZmH.jpg

Can’t edit it out because I have a page with the name “Courses”, which doesn’t have the button. I don’t have a page with the name “Course”.

My bad. I found it was just a block on the course page.

Everything now looks the way I want it.

Thanks for your patient help!

But the problems just keep coming.

I had to “enable theme styles” in settings, to get correctly formatted lesson pages. (I’m using foreign language fonts that the Sensei CSS messes up.)

When I did that, the notice “You don’t have access to this lesson” reappeared. It’s obviously using a different template, but I can’t find it.

Help again please!

p.s. I tried without ‘learning mode’ but that’s just ugly.

What theme are you using on your site? I’ve just tested the Enable Theme Styles setting with the TwentyTwentyTwo theme and did not find any issues with it.

If you find issues with it, I suspect your current theme might be in conflict.

I managed to get rid of it using the CSS posted above.

I’d like to get rid of the course progress bar which has reappeared too. Any CSS workaround for that?

Are you referring to this?

If so, here you go:

.sensei-course-theme-course-progress {
    display: none;
}

Works a treat! Site looks great now.

The help is much appreciated.
