LearnDash is one of the most popular WordPress LMS plugins on the market, alongside LifterLMS and Tutor LMS. If you’ve decided on LearnDash for your elearning project, you might be looking for a LearnDash discount code to get deal on the plugin. LearnDash is notorious for not running many deals.

We’ll keep it updated, and we’d love your help in the comments to let us know if the LearnDash deals on this page are still working. It’s not always clear how long LearnDash will keep one of their coupons active.

April 20, 2022: Compatible with BuddyBoss 🎉
As of April 20, 2022, our Design Upgrade Pro for LearnDash plugin is now compatible with the BuddyBoss theme.

Feel free to read on if you’d like to know how Design Upgrade Pro for LearnDash versions 2.18 and below worked with BuddyBoss. But if you’re using BuddyBoss and would like to use our plugin, we highly recommend you update to version 2.19 or later for the best experience.

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.
