Dashboard Widgets for LearnDash

Screenshots

Dashboard Widgets for LearnDash adds 4 widgets to the Dashboard page in your WordPress admin area — Overview, Courses, Links & Recently Modified. The LearnDash Overview widget shows you the total number of courses, lessons, topics, certificates, quizzes, questions, assignments, essays & groups. The LearnDash Courses widget displays a list of up to 10 courses, with handy stats & quick links to edit content that belongs to that course. The Links widget exposes most internal LearnDash pages for quick navigation. The Recently Modified widget displays the 3 most recently modified courses, lessons & topics. Links are available to edit content, open the course builder or access the individual course settings page. NOTE: By default, only Administrators will see the widgets. See the FAQ below about “user/role permissions” to learn how to enable them for additional users. LearnDash Overview Widget The Overview widget provides the following information: Total Courses Total Lessons Total Topics Total Certificates Total Quizzes Total Questions Total Assignments Total Essays Total Groups Total Group Leaders Clicking on each total will take you to the admin page that lists out the respective content. LearnDash Courses Widget The Courses widget provides a scrollable list of up to 10 courses. The information displayed depends on the user’s capabilities & access to certain admin pages. I’ll explain each piece of information below.

LearnDash Recently Modified Widget This widget displays the 3 most recently modified courses, lessons, topics, and quizzes. For Courses, you can navigate directly to “Edit,” “Builder” or “Settings.” For Lessons, Topics, and Quizzes, each title links directly to the edit page for that piece of content. It also includes the last modified date/time (i.e. 3 days ago, 5 months ago, etc.). Other Features Just like all Dashboard widgets, they can be hidden by unchecking their respective boxes under “Screen Options” Tested with LearnDash 3.6.0.3 Roadmap There is no scheduled roadmap, but if you have any suggestions, please let us know in the support forum.
