Biggest opportunity: Add “migration” to your wp.org tags. You rank #24 for it without listing it, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed it's a slot worth spending.

of downloads still active
At least 5K of 247.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Content & Feeds plugin keeps 0.8%, across 864 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Content & Feeds 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 8 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.

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.
