    how can i add a Start Course Button ?
    then if user clicked, it will redirect to the first lesson ?

    e.g
    Course 1 -> click start course -> redirect to the course 1 lesson 1

    is this possible ? thanks

    Hi @reynskie,

    Thanks for the inquiry.

    Right now this is not possible. We do get a fair number of requests for it, but it’s still not a behaviour we currently support. We may explore it in future, but at the moment this would be quite difficult to do and would require development. You don’t really want to set up a simple 301 redirect against the course either because then users couldn’t easily access their completion certificate at the end and it could cause confusion with some default LearnDash navigation elements (that link to the course level).

    Again, we may revisit this as a new feature in future, but for now we do recommend taking users to the course page and offering content at that level that makes it a worthwhile page to visit (perhaps by including a course summary, prerequisites, links to key resources, time expectations, instructions for getting started, etc.).

    +1 for this, many of our clients users are finding course navigation confusing. In an ideal world there would be a “Start Course” button on the course homepage and “Next” and “Previous” buttons on each item in the course.

    This is a pretty standard form of navigation and while I understand the potential complications in coding it I’m sort of at a loss as to why it isn’t in the core.

    This is how the “Click Here to Continue” buttons currently works

    • Lesson
    • Quiz (click “Click Here to Continue” after passing quiz it takes you to the NEXT Lesson)
    • Lesson
    • Topic
    • Quiz (click “Click Here to Continue” after passing quiz it takes you to the NEXT Topic)
    • Topic
    • Quiz (click “Click Here to Continue” after passing quiz it takes you back to the CURRENT Lesson)
    • Lesson
    • etc…

    Students are getting confused as the behavior of the “Click Here to Continue” button is inconsistent.
