There are a few questions I routinely get about the LearnDash focus mode header. I’ve previously explained how to use a custom height for the focus mode header, as well as move the focus mode sidebar to the right. In this article, we’ll take a look at applying your own background color to the entire LearnDash focus mode header area.
I’ve had a few users ask if they can change the height of the header in LearnDash’s Focus Mode. The answer is yes, and this tutorial will provide the exact CSS you need to use.
In our Design Upgrade Pro plugin, we offer the ability to set focus mode content to run from edge-to-edge. The left navigation bar will still be present, but the rest of the content area will span from the right edge of the navigation, right up to the right edge of the user’s browser.
This is great for those creating content with page builders. You can use your own spacing via the page builder elements/widgets, and build more creative layouts.
Our plugin only provides the option to do this globally, for every single piece of content in focus mode. This includes all lessons, topics & quizzes. But what if you want to only apply it to topics? Or only to quizzes? This tutorial will show you how.
I’ve seen this question come up many times now, so I figured I’d post the solution online for all to see.
Are you using the LearnDash course grid to display your lessons in grid format? If you’re using the [ld_lesson_list] shortcode (or block) on your course page, and want to hide the default lesson list, here’s the solution.
For a lot of LearnDash users, the course grid add-on is an essential component to designing the learning experience. You can filter & sort the course grid in a myriad of ways. This article will focus on one of the key components of the course grid—the short description.

Short descriptions now support most HTML tags.

Some creative ideas include:
Justin from the LearnDash Facebook group asked if there was a way to automatically add numbers before each lesson using the BuddyBoss theme + platform. I was pretty confident the answer was yes, so I rolled up my sleeves and got to work.
Not only can we do this for BuddyBoss, but I’ll provide you with the CSS to do this for all themes using the LearnDash 3.0 template, as well as those using the Legacy template. I’ll even throw in some code to auto-number lessons & topics in the Uncanny LearnDash Toolkit Dashboard.
This is the perfect solution for those who want to display lesson/topic numbers in navigation & course lists, but not include the number in the actual lesson or topic title. This way, the numbers don’t show up at the top of each individual page. They only appear when viewing lists & navigational elements 👍.
It also works great for those who switch lessons & topics around or use them in multiple courses with shared course steps.
Have you ever wanted your answers displayed inline (next to each other) instead of stacked? How about using an actual blank line for fill-in-the-blank questions?
In this tutorial, I’ll explain how you can use custom CSS to design your quiz questions in various ways.
A few people have asked me if I could create a “dark mode” for LearnDash’s focus mode. The answer is yes, but it does come with a few caveats. Overall though, I was able to replicate the same colors in YouTube’s dark mode and apply them to the LearnDash Focus Mode experience.
If you’re interested in using a dark mode with LearnDash, I’ll provide you with the custom CSS below.
