LearnPress – Backup & Migration Tool

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 54% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   This plugin is so bad that I am actually switching to LearnDash… I’m not kidding. After DAYS of dev work trying to simply IMPORT A COURSE, I have come to the conclusion that the entire framework of LearnPress is an absolutely sh*t show. If you want to extend this on your own, in any way, forget about it. This plugin + LearnPress are cancelled.

   I am glad I did not listen when Thimpress told me that Learnpress would be easy to share with my other sites that use learnpress. Their Import/Export Plugin doesn’t work and it never transfers anything, much less the courses and lessons already created. In fact, the entire Import/Export Plug in should be scrapped as it again simply doesnt work. They stated in support to make sure I have the latest LearnPress…well it is updated automatically but I still made sure it was the latest version and the Import/Export only has one beta version. So, it clearly is the plugin not gathering and importing properly.

   EN In the test I performed, it exports and imports everything, but the Questions are not linked in the Quizzes (“Not assigned yet”). So if you have several courses with A LOT of questions, it’s going to be complicated. Also it exports in XML (I would prefer it to be in CSV). PT-BR No teste que realizei, ele exporta e importa tudo, porém as questões não ficam vinculadas nos questionários. Então se você tiver vários cursos com MUITAS questões, vai dar trabalho. Além disso, ele exporta em XML (eu preferiria que fosse em CSV). This topic was modified 4 years, 6 months ago by lejumgames.

   Installed on two sites both using WP v5.8.2 and worked perfectly. Was able to edit the xml file between export and import to change the domain details. To import, I didn’t check the box to “Save imported file on your server so you can download/import it later” but just let it import the courses and lessons. The purpose of the exercise! Very simple and easy to use. This topic was modified 4 years, 8 months ago by MichaelHayles.

   Unfortunately the plugin is not working at all. It’s exporting empty files and import, off course, won’t work.
