Design Upgrade Pro for LearnDash BuddyBoss Compatibility

By Dave Warfel

On June 16, 2021

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.

UPDATE
We are currently working on BuddyBoss compatibility 🥳. ETA is late January 2022.

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.

How to Customize the LearnDash Notifications Subscription Page

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? Click here to manage your notification emails subscription.” Click here links to a dynamically-generated page on your site.

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.

There’s also some CSS you can write to improve the design, and possibly bring it more inline with your overall site layout & design. Buckle up… there’s a lot of code involved in this one 👩‍💻.

Someone recently asked if they could hide all the lessons in the focus mode navigation, and show only the current lesson. I never thought anyone would want this type of set up, but apparently, some find it useful.
