LDX Design - LearnDash Design & Tutorials

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. Typically, they have one sale per year around Black Friday, and that’s it.

Occasionally, we come across a LearnDash coupon code or discount you can use to save a few dollars. This page will keep track of every LearnDash discount code we have found. 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.

Design Upgrade Pro for H5P Troubleshooting

On November 2, 2022

In Plugins

Several customers have had issues with the styles from our Design Upgrade Pro for H5P plugin not appearing on the frontend of their site. Things looks good in the Customizer, but the styles don’t show up on the actual website. The cause of this issue is almost always due to the server configuration.

Because of the way the H5P WordPress plugin requires us to add styles to H5P content, we have to use a .php file to load CSS code. This is a bit unconventional. Typically, you’d use a .css file to load CSS code, and a .php file to load PHP code.

I’ll explain a few things you can try to resolve this issue. It usually involves contacting your host and asking them to make a pretty simple change.
