This article will explain the steps you can take to downgrade or rollback to a previous version of LearnDash.

How to Create Dynamic Links to BuddyBoss Profile Pages

BuddyBoss creates several pages dynamically & automatically for each and every member of your site. When you use BuddyBoss’ main header menu, and the default vertical & horizontal tab navigation on profile pages, these links are automatically created for you, and they direct the member to their own custom profile pages.

But what if you want to insert a link to a user profile page somewhere else on your site? Or add a button via a page builder that links to a specific profile page, saved discussions, etc.?

LearnDash CSV Reports (Course & Quiz Reporting)

LearnDash CSV report buttons

The core LearnDash plugin provides a few basic reports in .csv format. Unfortunately, to do anything with this data, you’ll need to download and manipulate it in some way, or import it into another program.

However, if you’re a data nerd and appreciate working with raw data, these LearnDash .csv reports are for you.

This article is part of our LearnDash reporting series.

Let’s break down all BuddyBoss shortcodes & blocks, and discuss how to use each one.

LearnDash Reporting Tools (Free & Premium) & How to Use Them

Any good LMS should provide instructors & admins with reporting data. This article will focus on LearnDash reporting tools. There are some default LearnDash reports that are included with the plugin, an official LearnDash reporting plugin called ProPanel, and several third-party LearnDash reporting tools that are arguably better than what LearnDash provides.

We’ll briefly cover each option in this article, but we’ll link out to more detailed reviews that provide additional information & screenshots.

How to Add Links to the LearnDash Focus Mode Dropdown Menu

If you’re using LearnDash’s focus mode, you’ve probably noticed the dropdown menu that appears when you hover over your name/avatar in the top corner. By default, LearnDash dynamically adds “Course Home” and “Logout” links.

Did you know you can add your own custom links to this menu? This article + video will explain how to add links to the LearnDash focus mode dropdown menu.

Design Upgrade Pro for LearnDash is Now Compatible with BuddyBoss! 🎉

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.
