Small Changes in Lifter LMS and creating a User Role who can add Courses

Hey @imran79,

1-How do I allow someone to create a new course. I have created user as author, editor etc, but when we login as Author or Editor, I do not see the Course option to create a course. It will be easier if I can add a user category or assign someone where they will be allowed to create a course and I can name that User as Tutor, or Teacher, etc.

We do not currently have a custom role system that allows different capabilities to be granted to different user roles. I know, I know, we really should but I can only write so much code every day. It’s coming I promise.

In the meantime you can (probably) use something like this plugin to create a custom role for your course creator access level: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/user-role-editor/

2-Secondly, is there a way to change Lifter LMS button colours to something which matches the theme. I am using Sydney Theme and I wanted the progress bar, or Enrol button to have same colour as the theme.

Sure, any colors can be changed with a bit of custom CSS. Our button classes are:

.llms-button-action {} — checkout, and a few other key places
.llms-button-primary {} — all blue buttons
.llms-button-secondary {} — all light grey buttons

Progress bar is:

.llms-progress .progress-bar-complete {}

3-Thirdly, When you go to a specific course to see its details, the Featured Image on top is in Centre, I would like it to be on Left.

I think this is probably your theme. Post a link to a course with an image and I can grab the selector for you.

Take care,

Thank you Thomasplevy for the reply.

I have made some changes with the help of a friend using your guide lines.

About the 1st Question, for being very dumb, I added the plugin User Role Editor and created a new role called Tutor. I added the capability “Courses” to it, but when I login under Tutor Role, I see only Dashboard, Profile & Collapse Menu. I do not see the Courses option to create a course.

I hope you can help. If it helps, I can provide you the admin login details so that you can check.

@imran79,

I am not 100% positive this is possible with this plugin, I’m making a suggestion.

It claims to be able to assign capabilities to the custom roles so, you should be able to assign capabilities for creating, editing, etc courses. Is this not the case? If it’s not then maybe it’s not possible with this plugin. I’m sorry for recommending it and in that case you’ll have to give us time to build the core feature.

Take care,

Hello Thomas,

Thank you for your help. I have resolved the Instructor issue with the Plugin called Adminimize. You can propose it to anyone who had the same issue as mine. I can no share the Lifter LMS plugin with any user I want. I know nothing about codes and this plugin is very simple to use. You cannot not only share a plugin, but it also allow you to share any portion of any plugin which you have installed which i think is really cool. The link for the plugin is

Again, thank you for your support.
