Hi @seanimler! It looks like your site has quite a few javascript errors due to other plugins. But I’m not seeing anything specifically caused by WPComplete. Unfortunately, without more information or being able to login to your site, we won’t be able to login to actually test the functionality more fully. But for now, I’d suggest you look into the other plugin issues.

The short answer is: yes, using conditional shortcodes.

The longer answer: WPComplete itself doesn’t restrict the access to specific pages. For that, you’d need something like Restrict Content Pro. But WPComplete can limit which posts get linked to, and what content gets showed, based on button completion statuses.

So in your example, on the main page, you could list the course outline (a list of lessons). For each lesson that hasn’t had their prerequisites completed, it could be just text. But if it’s something that the user should have access to, you could make it a link.

Using conditional content shortcodes, you could also hide content and/or the completion button on any lesson if the prerequisites haven’t been completed and tell the user what they need to complete before they can complete this page. I actually link this option, as even if the user manually enters the lesson link, they can see the lesson page, but can’t complete it until they’ve done the other work first.

WPComplete also provides a next-to-complete shortcode, which you could use to help guide your users on the main page or elsewhere to get them back on track to completing the next page they need to.

Hope that helps!

Hi @wplms24!

1) Yes! You can do something like: [wpc_button post_id=”123″ name=”my-button-name”] and you can use that in multiple places but still refer to the same button. So you could include this on the course page list of lessons AND inside the lesson itself.

2) Yes! All of our buttons are sync’d for each user because they are stored in the database.

Hope that helps! Excited to see what you build!

Thanks, @vaporcillo! Glad it’s worked for your needs.

@yashnarnaware It sounds like your site is trying to use ssl3, which our server doesn’t support because of the POODLE vulnerability: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/POODLE

You might need to make sure ssl3 is disabled on your server to get this to work. In theory, you’d just need to update your SSL config and restart your server.

Hi @qwik3r! Yes, you should totally be able to do something like this with WPComplete. You could adjust your custom CSS (which you can do in the admin advanced settings) to set a graphic as the background like so:

a.wpc-button-complete, a.wpc-complete, a.wpc-button-completed, a.wpc-completed {
background-size: 18px auto;
margin: 0;
padding: 0 0 0 30px;
color: inherit;
}

a.wpc-button-complete, a.wpc-complete {
background: url(/unchecked.svg) left center no-repeat;
}

a.wpc-button-completed, a.wpc-completed {
background: url(/checked.svg) left center no-repeat;
}

Hope that helps!

Thanks, @mattpdemers! Glad we were able to get things all sorted out for you in a timely manner. Appreciate you letting us know about your issues so we could address them quickly and then roll them out for the rest of our community. Together we continue to make WPComplete better and better!

Thanks for the follow-up, @boluda! We are still working on it (along with a bunch of other updates). I know you’re getting antsy, so feel free to shoot us an email and we’ll get it to you a little earlier so you can help us make sure it’s all working properly.

Hi @raganation. I can let others hop in with examples of what they’ve done but just wanted to say that you should definitely be able to handle the multiple courses using WPComplete on the same site. If you want to have a single dashboard and only show courses if the user is a member of that course, then yeah, you’ll probably need some help from your membership plugin to only show certain shortcodes/content that they have access to. Shouldn’t be too complicated.

Hey @renko! I don’t see why that should be a problem. It should take that info being missing into account, meaning that it’s only additive and shouldn’t break if it’s missing. That said, if you do run into problems with it not being there, should be be able to hard code that to any value and it’ll be fine. That is just a time stamp for the last time that user was last active on the site and use it to bust our caching.

So I don’t expect you to have issues. But if you do, you can always email and we’ll do what we can to help get it resolved.

@boluda Not yet. We have some bug fixes coming out soon probably, but still working on the next proper feature release that’ll include this. Appreciate your patience.

@foomagoo That should be fixed in the next update that we roll out. Thanks again for catching.

Hey @foomagoo, thanks for the heads up. We’ll take a look and get that fixed up.

Hi @hanniegtz1989! From the sounds of it, you want the ability to let your students ask questions for each of your courses’ lessons, is that correct? WPComplete in and of itself does not give you this functionality. WPComplete merely lets you give your students the ability to mark each lesson as completed via button shortcodes and gives them a way to track progress. I’m not sure if there are any other plugins that will help you give that functionality to your students, sorry.

That said, you are welcome to give it a try and if you purchase a license and find that it doesn’t meet your needs, we do have a 30-day refund policy.

Thanks @boluda! Yeah, really excited about this and will be starting working on the multi course stuff soon. Thanks for your patience!
