The Uncanny Toolkit vs. PowerPack for LearnDash

On March 10, 2021, Justin Ferriman, CEO of LearnDash, sent out an email promoting a new plugin called PowerPack for LearnDash. In just 48 hours, the plugin is already being used on over 500 sites.

I’ve seen several questions already about what the plugin does, and if it’s a replacement for the Uncanny Toolkit for LearnDash. Spoiler Alert: It’s not. This article will explain what the PowerPack is, what it is not, who is behind it and how it differs from the Uncanny Toolkit.

How to Programatically Number LearnDash Sections, Lessons & Topics with CSS

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.

How to Clone LearnDash Courses, Lessons, Quizzes & More (Create Templates)

Do you offer a lot of similar courses? Wouldn’t it be great if you could just clone one and start from a template? Well, thanks to a few different LearnDash add-ons, now you can.

There are 3 plugins that offer the ability to clone LearnDash content, and each one provides a different set of features. One plugin can clone just about everything (with one caveat), but it’s not free. The other 2 options are free, but each have some drawbacks. I’ll evaluate the options & help you choose the best one for your situation.

Uncanny LearnDash Toolkit 3.0 Gets Major Facelift, Updates to Login Form & Transcripts

The popular Uncanny LearnDash Toolkit just released version 3.0 with an all-new admin design. Not only did they improve the design, but they worked hard on making it much easier to use, find tutorials and request support.
