Biggest opportunity: Swap “education”, “lms” and “learning management system” for “course certificate”, “course management” and “course builder”. “education” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “course certificate” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “lms” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “course management” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “learning management system” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #17. “course builder” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →1.6%
of downloads still active
At least 20K of 1.2M lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Education plugin keeps 1.1%, across 177 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Education plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 5 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

What to do about it
- Swap “education”, “lms” and “learning management system” for “course certificate”, “course management” and “course builder”. “education” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “course certificate” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “lms” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “course management” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “learning management system” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #17. “course builder” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “review”. #14 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

No funciona, da error de código With the latest version, it doesn’t work either. This topic was modified 2 years, 2 months ago by José Manuel.

The application looks very nice, but it is broken. I even translated it. But can’t send reviews. It won’t even show up anywhere in the administration. Could someone please update it…
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ rincha4.7y ago
I miss more powerful widgets by category. Users cannot run a test again. Connect to woocommerce by default. Otherwise it looks good.

Kindly update this plugin because I am phasing more review schema errors.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ marbaque6.2y ago
Works ok, but it is not ready for translation, so I can’t translate it. This is a basic must for plugins and themes.

Free plugin works out of the box but if you are buying paid plugins — they simply doesn’t work and customer support will reply you: “We didn’t say LearnPress woocommerce payment will work…” This topic was modified 6 years, 8 months ago by niksenx.

For the most part, we’re really happy with LearnPress. There are some fussy settings that are counterintuitive, but building courses is easy & the integration with Vimeo is super easy. All in all, good product. Support can be gotten through their FB page which is not my preferred method, but it is not exactly uncommon… Good job LP.

They just don’t bother to reply the support questions. Use it on your own risk
