WordPress with LearnPress

LearnPress teaches straight from a WordPress site: courses made of lessons, quizzes that mark themselves, and a dashboard where each student sees their progress. The version installed is the one wordpress.org serves that day, pinned and checked against its checksums before use.

What it makes

• A WordPress site with 512 MB of memory and half a processor: enough to hold a course's pages and serve them to a class. The ceilings change whenever a course grows, and the bill follows real use. See limits.

• A MySQL database, made and connected while the app is created.

• A free address with HTTPS, and the project's backups, starting as soon as the course does.

Install it

Asha teaches tailoring and wants her lessons to reach students who can't come to the stall.

1. Open the project's Overview, choose Add a service, then From the catalog.

2. Find WordPress with LearnPress and press Install beside it.

3. Choose an App name like courses and type the Admin email you'll sign in with.

4. Check the limits and the monthly estimate, then press Install.

Copy the password shown on the screen before pressing I've saved it — it appears once. The card shows each step until Ready.

Its admin page

When the card says Ready, open the admin page from it and sign in. Your first course:

1. LearnPress → Courses → Add New — the course, its price if it has one, and its outline.

2. Fill the outline with lessons and a quiz; each lesson takes text, pictures or a video link.

3. LearnPress → Settings — how students sign up, and which currency they pay in.

Updates

The plugin and WordPress apply their own updates, and every backup of the project keeps the students' work safe. Course materials are yours to export at any time. See WordPress.
