Definitely some great things listed here to investigate, I appreciate the help!

What I’m trying to do is a very simple js function to do an event call for pixel tracking.

I’ll look into the things mentioned above and hopefully find a work-around. (Will post back here if I find anything worth mentioning).

Thanks for the help!

Good callout, but I’m using their included ‘storefront’ theme and can’t find any conflicts or overrides with the plugin template pages. (Unless I’m just completely missing something).

Unfortunately the way our drip settings currently work you’d need to modify the student’s enrollment date manually in the databse (as you’ve suggested).

It’s absolutely not an ideal solution. I know. I’m sorry.

There may not be a front-end UI for it, but it’s a solution that fixes my problem. It works. In fact, it’s more ideal than I realized at first, because the lessons are all on a monthly drip… it will reflect the date when the student actually enrolled anyway. Truthfully, adding code to make the enrollment date editable from the front-end wouldn’t necessarily be that hard to do, and it’s basically a MySQL UPDATE statement to update the database. I might play around with doing that and send you the code if you’d like to review it.

we NEED to make to the way dripping works to allow admins more control over drip for their students (eg you can pass people along on a case by case basis).

Being able to manually control the advancement per student on a lesson by lesson basis WOULD definitely be a nice feature. I’ll think about ways that would achieve that solution.

Our system seemed bulletproof when we built it (4 year ago) and over the years we’ve realized that the system has dozens of flaws.

Welcome to the world of software development, amirite? lol

We want to rebuild the drip settings but we have several dozen priorities and unfortunately this one just hasn’t been prioritized yet.

Hey if you don’t mind, I’d love to try to contribute and help in any way I can. Out of all of the LMS systems that I’ve tried to work with, LifterLMS has been the most stable, feature-rich, and intuitive to use. It’s an excellent product.

Thank you for all the help regarding updating the proper DB fields. (I’m marking this issue as resolved, but I really hope you see all this.)

I think I may have found a working solution. (Not necessarily ideal, but possibly working.)

Given the fact that each lesson is timed to drip each month beginning with the date of enrollment, what if I manually changed (to be retroactive) the date of enrollment in the database per student?

Logically, then the software would calculate which lessons should be available (already “dripped”) and which should continue to drip. Right?

I’m going to run some simulations to test this theory. If you know of any reason why this wouldn’t work, I’d appreciate it.

I know this probably wouldn’t help anyone else, but it might solve my specific issue.

Sorry to raise an already ‘resolved’ thread, but wouldn’t you lose this change the next time you updated the plugin?

I concur, it must be a2hosting.

@instaboost Presently I would have to say that I do recommend them. Aside from yesterday’s weirdness, they’ve been great.

I’m not using jetpack, but I too, am hosted with a2. Earlier I had an issue with connecting to wordpress when trying to update some themes and plugins.

Sounds like it might be a server issue.

Hmm.. then it must be a plugin..

I also use elementor page builder plugin. I’m wondering if that could be it?

If not, would you like to compare other plugins? If we can identify what we have in common, we may figure it out.

Thank you! I never would have found that!

Thank you once again!

Typical case of me overcomplicating things…

Thanks again!

Again, thanks for the reply.

After doing more research I found out that yes, this is technically possible. But so many things would have to be renamed and/or slightly rewritten that it no longer becomes a viable solution.
