LDX Design - LearnDash Design & Tutorials

We’ve had quite a few people ask if Design Upgrade Pro for LearnDash is compatible with BuddyBoss. On our website, we say that it is not compatible, but there’s a little more nuance to it. This article will explain, in detail, what we mean when we say it’s not compatible, and some of the exceptions to this statement.

TLDR: Some people use Design Upgrade Pro for LearnDash with BuddyBoss successfully. It can be done, but it depends on a) if you’re using BuddyBoss platform, BuddyBoss theme, or both, and b) which LearnDash elements you use, and c) which Design Upgrade options you’re using.

In most cases, it’s the theme that isn’t compatible. If you’re just using the platform plugin, most (if not all) of Design Upgrade Pro for LearnDash’s features will work as expected.

If you’re using the LearnDash Notifications add-on, you may have noticed the message at the bottom of all notification emails that reads, “Don’t want to receive this email anymore?

The title on this page reads “LearnDash Notifications Subscription” and the URL is /learndash-notifications-subscription/. Neither of these is ideal. This article will explain how to customize them.
