Are you running a video-based online course? If so, LearnDash video hosting is one of the most important things you need to consider when setting up your online course platform.
Video lessons are a popular way to teach any online course. We encourage video-based learning as one of several different strategies to teach your course material. But there are a few very important things you need to know before launching your LearnDash site—including where to host your course videos. We’ve got you covered below.
CourseLauncher is a LearnDash hosting, development, & consulting company with over 10 years experience building LearnDash sites. Every so often, they welcome a handful of new clients into their LearnDash Ignition Program—where they take LearnDash course creators from concept to launch in just 90 days.
LearnDash Ignition Program Features
The LearnDash Ignition Program saves clients hundreds of hours of work and thousands of dollars in plugins & additional tools. As part of the program, CourseLauncher provides…
Basically, CourseLauncher is offering to build your LearnDash site for you (minus some content entry you’ll need to do yourself), give you access to a ton of premium plugins that you were going to buy anyway, show you how to use LearnDash, strategize with you, give you access to pre-built marketing automations to help market your course, and host & maintain your site for you (some ongoing costs do apply here).
Who is this for?
For anyone just getting started with LearnDash, or building a new LearnDash site, this is exactly what I’d recommend.
I’ve seen far too many folks hire an inexperienced developer who didn’t understand LearnDash, and over a year later, they are still trying to get their site launched. If and when they finally do, it doesn’t work the way they want it to, or they experience errors because it was built poorly.
If you already have a site running smoothly, this isn’t the program for you. But Ellen and her team at CourseLauncher do provide LearnDash services for established sites as well.

CourseLauncher lists the full value at just over $10,000.
Their normal price for the LearnDash Ignition Program is $5,000.
Sign up before March 31, 2023 and you can get in for just $2,500.
You’ll be put into the April 2023 cohort, and your site will be provisioned no later than April 10th.
If you’ve never built a website before, $2,500 might sound like a lot, but for a LearnDash site, it’s an incredible deal. You can find developers oversees and/or on Fiverr who will quote you some ridiculously low rate, but 95% of the time, you’ll end up with a terrible product, and have to pay even more to pick up the pieces.
If you’re serious about your LearnDash site, I encourage you to make this investment upfront. I don’t think you’ll regret it.
Here’s a full list of all the plugins included. You also get the full premium stack from Kadence, which includes the Kadence theme, Kadence blocks, and Kadence WooCommerce add-ons.

LearnDash Ignition Program Examples
Here’s an example of the package of things you received throughout the program:
And here’s an example course page that was built by a client during a previous Ignition Program 90-day cohort:
On or around July 12, 2022, LearnDash changed their pricing. At the same time, they launched LearnDash Cloud, which is their own hosting service that includes the plugin. There’s been some confusion around the new pricing, as well as what happens to existing customers & their current subscriptions.
Let’s lay out the details of what we know, and what LearnDash has communicated to us.
BuddyBoss only offers a lifetime deal once per year, so when it’s available, grab it quickly before it disappears. In 2022, BuddyBoss is offering a Black Friday lifetime deal for the BuddyBoss Theme & Platform Pro plugin. It’s available now, and we don’t know how long it will last, so act fast!
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.
Are you missing the Add-Ons page under LearnDash LMS in your WordPress site? You’ve probably seen tutorials referencing it as an easy way to install LearnDash add-ons and official LearnDash plugins.
If your LearnDash LMS > Add-Ons page is now showing up, here are a few reasons why it might be missing, and some things you can try to get it back.
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.
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’s Black Friday sale is live! See below for all their discounts, valid through 11/29.
Occasionally, we come across a LearnDash coupon code or discount you can use to save a few bucks. 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.
