Layout and Customization

    Hello,

    We are testing LifterLMS on a mostly Beaver Builder site with Gravity Forms. We are not using the blocks editor and it seems most of the LifterLMS options use the block editor. I tested the LifterLMS Labs plugin feature for Beaver Builder and none of the LifterLMS Modules work.

    What we need:

    • Guidance on using Lifter with Beaver Builder. I see there are themes for Lifter, but this will not help us. Are there plugins that help users customize the layout of various Lifter pages?
    • To easily customize the dashboard and other Lifter pages.
      • We need a customized dashboard that includes features from other plugins. I can add some content before or after the student dashboard content using the actions https://lifterlms.com/docs/lifterlms-action-reference/, but we need to customize the layout further. Is the recommended option to create a child theme version of the page?
      • There seems to be no easy way to adjust the layout other than removing endpoints or creating custom CSS to override the page.
      • We could use some of the Lifter dashboard features like Edit Account, but this takes the user out of the dashboard and includes all the Lifter LMS dashboard links and menu.
      • I’ve reviewed the shortcodes page and it seems some useful shortcodes are missing including layout control of the my account pages.
      • This page (https://lifterlms.com/docs/student-dashboard/) suggests, “If you’d like to add custom content to areas of the student dashboard you must do so by adding actions or using filters.”, but I’m there’s no more information about the actions or filters.
    • To create a customized login page.
      • The Lifter login page only includes email for the username so it’s not useful for us.
      • The default WP password reset page has been taken over by the Lifter password reset page. How do we remove this or do we have to add another redirect (chained redirect)?
    • We need to remove the instructor block form the course pages. The Labs plugin offers an option to remove the author from the course catalog, but I’m not seeing an option to do the same on course pages.

    Thanks for any help!

    Hi @dmed ,

    I understand your concern regarding the challenges of integrating LifterLMS with your Beaver Builder site, especially since most options seem to utilize the Block Editor. It’s true that many aspects of LifterLMS require custom coding to align with your layout needs. I recommend checking out the LifterLMS Action Reference and the Shortcodes documentation for useful guidance.

    If you find the current layout options limiting, using custom CSS is a practical solution. However, for more control, consider creating custom templates within your child theme to structure the pages as needed. To keep users within the customized dashboard while accessing features like “Edit Account,” you can implement redirects or modify the menu structure to reduce navigation away from the dashboard.

    While some shortcodes may seem missing, leveraging actions and filters will enable you to insert custom content. For further customization, I highly suggest consulting with our LifterLMS experts at this link: LifterLMS Experts. They can provide suggestions and assist you in achieving the desired customization with LifterLMS.

    Let me know if you need any more assistance!

    All the best,

    Plugin Support Nick Mariano
