Pros and cons

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.
If you have a community or you are creating one a wplms it is the best option to have your events both in person and online. I use it with some other plugins it works perfect.
Very comprehensive, feature rich theme with really nice support. This LMS has almost every feature you need and some addons for additional functionality.
Coding and service response. Lack of mindset that when providing educational services online requires timely responses and fixes.
The only things that were to some extent troublesome about working with WPLMS was the amount of options/settings one were offered.

Quality LMS

Reviewed 2 years ago

Been using this platform since its inception, basically 14 years at this point. It has grown and expanded massively and is so much better now because they keep developing it.

Pros

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.

Cons

Steep learning curve. Runs a bit slow at times.

WPLMS - Rise And Rise More

Reviewed 4 years ago

OVERALL EXPERIENCE : ***** 5 Star 1. Usability: 5/5 2. Feature : 5/5 3. User interface : 4.8/5 4. Customer care: 5/5 5. Response to customer's feature request: 5/5 6. Developers' credibility: 5/5 7. Documentation: 4.9/5 8. Video Tutorials: 4.5/5

Pros

Constant development is the essence of a good usable software. And it seems that the WPLMS Team knows it the best. Feature wise, I can say the LMS has everything that a modern education system should have. But the icing on the cake is the Developers' farsightedness to think beyond the competition and their constant effort to take it to the next level. It has recently did a major Framework change from v3.x to V4. And that enhanced its functionality, 3x.

Cons

In its default avatar it is more than enough for running a fantastic Learning Management System, but sometimes I wish if some premium Add-on feature could be provided as free or could come by default. :)

A great Wordpress LMS

Reviewed 5 years ago

The developers are really helpful, and came up with bespoke code to fix very specific issues I had. I did find getting everything working quite tough - but once it was up and running it worked well.

Pros

It has every feature you could ever need.

Cons

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.

Steep learning curve, but endless features

Reviewed 5 years ago

WPLMS is a great solution for selling our coffee courses as all you can eat membership, but also as individual courses. The design of the courses is very user-friendly and our customers love the professional look. The support is a mixed experience. Sometimes very helpful, sometimes just giving answers to gain some time.

Pros

- Plenty of features - Work as an individual market place but also as a membership site - Modern e-learning environment and themes - Mobile app availability (sold separately)

Cons

- claims it is responsive, but responsiveness breaks on certain pages - takes some time to learn it - more theme settings related to design would be welcome - the mobile app (not part of the WPLMS Theme, must purchase separately) is a mess. It does not work with Vimeo video service, has issues selling membership style e-learning pages, the support is horrible.

It's a great option with a lot of features

Reviewed 5 years ago

I'm implementing a course selling website. So far has been really easy to set it up. I haven't been able to publish yet but the experience has been really good. At the beginning was difficult because i found a lot of options but the plugin documentation is great so i could set the main features. I'm still trying to set some advanced options like implementing multisite / multilanguage site for my courses and i'm still learning but i'm enjoying the experience

Pros

A lot of options to customize the theme Great aperance of courses and quizzes All the basic features to sell courses are included Compatible with page buiders Easy to use

Cons

You can't change the theme Options aren't multilanguage Some features need an extra payment

It allowed me to revolutionize education at my university

Reviewed 5 years ago

With this wonderful code I was able to continue an e-Learning proposal. This proposal became my undergraduate project and later my university degree work. I got a grade of 10. My project was to give students the opportunity to share knowledge among themselves, exchanging points with each other to acquire new content.

Pros

What I liked the most is the professional way the system works. Many large local projects do not have the level of development of this system.

Cons

I have no criticism for the system, everything works more than perfectly.

An all-inclusive package to get started with e-learning and more

Reviewed 5 years ago

From start to (unwanted but forced, see above) finish: no complaints. Quick and good support, detailed documentation including video guides, vast amount of design options and of course functionality.

Pros

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...

Cons

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.

Promised Great Things but fell short

Reviewed 6 years ago
Pros

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

Cons

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.

Vendor response

Thank you for the review. The review it seems is based on misinterpretation of information. 1. Too many plugins : WPLMS has 12 plugins out of which only 3 are required. Each plugin is for feature that you may want on your site. Which ensures that your site remains fast. For more fantastic features we assume that you're prepared to put more investment based on your user base. Also, more plugins does...
