LearnDash Migration
The LearnDash Migration add-on is designed to help you import course content from other learning management systems, such as LearnPress, Tutor LMS, Sensei LMS, or Lifter LMS.
What it is for:
- Migrating lessons
- Migrating topics
- Migrating quizzes
- Migrating questions
What it isn’t for:
- Migrating course progression
- Migrating course meta ( like categories, tags, custom fields, etc )
- Migrating media
Due to the difference between the LMS features and options, we’ve outlined some of the important things below for each LMS when moving over to LearnDash.

Note: We are always looking to improve our products. If you have any suggestions or improvements for the migration plugin, please let us know so we can consider them for a future release.
Important Reminder: Double-check your course and lesson content after migration, especially for Sensei LMS and Lifter LMS. Some LMS-specific blocks might not translate perfectly, so it’s worth a quick review.
