WPLMS Reviews

Very robust and extremely high features compared to nay others

Support has scope to improve. There should be atleast chat option and most definitely a phone option too.

WordPress itself and its possibility for an LMS. But is mishandled by developer

Coding and service response. Lack of mindset that when providing educational services online requires timely responses and fixes.

Loads of features, easily turn on/off at the macro or micro level. Easily integrates into an existing site. Can be expanded with other plugins. Frequent updates and bug fixes. Great tech support.

Steep learning curve. Runs a bit slow at times.

I found out about WPLMS when I was working on my thesis in which I developed new methods to teach "Mathematics for Chemistry Students" at university level. One focus of my work was on developing some kind of online platform which gave students the opportunity to prepare/review the material before/after a lecture and also offer short exercises which the student could work on and get feedback on their results.

With very little background in programming and web development, only some very basic skills in WordPress, I was very pleased with WPLMS as it met most of my requirements out of the box and by using some other plugins I got a first test page set up very quickly. With the help of the (excellent and quick responding) support of the developers I was also able to integrate one very important plugin (WPQuickLaTeX which offers basically full LaTeX support on my website) in the exercises and got the site ready for a test run with some students within 2-3 months.

Unfortunately, for some technical and legal reasons (GDPR) I was not allowed to continue my work on this approach and had to switch to something provided by the university running on university servers, which resulted in me terminating the site. This had nothing to do with WPLMS though, and if it weren't for my general shortage of time I would have continued working on it as a private project.

The only things that were to some extent troublesome about working with WPLMS was the amount of options/settings one were offered. In some way this gives you great flexibility, e.g. integrating some social network features into your site sounds great, but it was very much to deal with especially at the beginning. However if you are not afraid to dive into these kind of things or have already some experience in this field this shouldn't be a problem.

There are fantastic options.
Working with WPLMS helped me to narrow down what I want and don't want for my membership site.

1) The theme requires way too many plugins that slow the site down.
2) they promise all kinds of functionality but then you are required to purchase licenses to all kinds of other plugins that they include in their theme
3) you will need a robust server and a hosting company that allows you to alter php
4) I have installed 47 plugins so far and the site still doesn't do what I need. Plus it's so slow that it's not functional.

In the end, I need to find a different solution. The idea is good but the quality is just not there.

It has every feature you could ever need.

It can be hard to set things up. This was because there are a lot of different things in play to get this working - Wordpress, Buddypress, Woocommerce, Woocommerce Memberships, Woocommerce Subscriber - plus all the usual Wordpress plugins needed to make a site work.

Buy several wp themes for online courses and this is without a doubt the most complete.

It has so many functions that it is far from simplicity.

It has rich functionalities for managing e-learning

It can be slow loading while some elements are for more money

Very comprehensive, feature rich theme with really nice support.
This LMS has almost every feature you need and some addons for additional functionality. The price is a steal.

A small learning curve and few bugs at the time of major updates

Ease of use!
Great features!
Everything is available!

Installation and configuration was a task!
To many updates and most of the updates are difficult to implement!

Ample of features, flexibility, third-party integrations, front-end course creation, easy to maintain, good support team

Inflexible app, lots of restrictions, difficult to self customize functions

Functionality - does what I need it to do. I teach 1,000+ students online and it works well.

Took a long time to learn how to set it up. Videos were helpful but not always easy to understand.

WPLMS is very easy to use and has a lot of functionality available to create your own school

Customization needs css and/or sometimes help from support group.

it seems this will be the google of learning management systems in near future

landing pages with slider revolution are slow

It gives most crucial elements for online learning.

Not good for guys who tries to provide online+offline courses

This is best lms ever.
Not just wordpress them, it is a total lms system.
And customer service is amazing.
They are really nice people. I really like them!
thums up!

well. frankly. I do not have any Cons.
Because this kind of large lms, it is natural, every case has some limit, but they do thier best.

It mainly works and it has a lot of features.

The support is appalling I have NEVER had a support question answered. The support forum is amateur and it is difficult to find answers and is very difficult to log in. If the support existed it would be a good product.

Have used wplms for my educational site , wplms is fine for providing all basic feature of lms site, i am a web devloper , so i am good to customize it ,if you know programming you can best use wplms.
Simple feature of lms like loading subjects . Staffs information , books details etc.

You must have good understanding of web devlopment in order to customize this tool ,this tool must have some advance features and guid to customize it.
