Lesson 2: Add-ons
Add-ons allow you to extend the functionality of your LearnDash courses with powerful new features and integrations. You can easily install, activate, and manage them directly from your WordPress dashboard.
Accessing Add-Ons
- From your WordPress dashboard, go to LearnDash LMS > Add-Ons.
- Here you’ll see:
- A list of all available add-ons.
- Which add-ons you’ve already installed.
Installing and Activating an Add-On
- Click Install Now on the add-on you’d like to use.
- You’ll be prompted to an activation screen.
- If not, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins.
- Locate the add-on and click Activate.
Deactivating an Add-On
- From the same screen, you can click Deactivate to turn off any active add-on.
Finding Documentation
For details on what each add-on does and how to configure it, visit the official LearnDash Add-On Documentation at learndash.com/support/docs.
Why This Matters
Add-ons let you tailor LearnDash to your specific needs—whether that’s adding gamification, building advanced certificates, or integrating with eCommerce platforms.
Tip: Start with official LearnDash add-ons for guaranteed compatibility, then explore trusted third-party options as your course grows.
