LifterLMS BackPack

Description

Your annual subscription comes with one license to be used in your staging site and your production site.

A growing collection of useful features, widgets, shortcodes and other design elements to make your Learning Management System and students experience better by design.

The objective of this plugin is to provide you with new features on a periodic basis.

The current features for this plugin are listed below. The features included in the current release are identified without version numbers. We add new features to this plugin on a regular basis so with each update, you will have new features to explore.

Each feature, widget or shortcode can be individually turned on or off.

In cases where the LifterLMS team choose to adopt an equivalent feature to any provided in LifterLMS BackPack, at that time you can simply turn off this feature in LifterLMS BackPack and use the native LifterLMS version.

If you use the LifterLMS version of a feature, widget, form or shortcode, and prefer to revert back to one provided in LifterLMS BackPack, no problem, just turn it on again, your settings will still be there.

The current version of LifterLMS BackPack is V1.3.0

Upsell enrollments keeps the user enrolled in the original course (beyond their original expiration) under the following conditions:
  1. Students can buy the course standalone, then upgrade to the membership before the course expires, or
  2. Students can purchase the membership which includes the course, or
  3. Students can purchase the course, let it expire, then later purchase the membership and their course will in-expire, and
  4. If used with the End User Access feature, you can extend a students access and they will be automatically re-enrolled until that date
