What It Is
In a sentence, this integration allows you to create and sell simple access levels, and assign them to one or more courses. You can also protect other (non-LearnDash) pages on your site.
What It Is Not
Course Access Manager is not a replacement for robust membership plugins.
Instead, it is meant to provide you some additional basic membership-like features in conjunction with the core LearnDash plugin. If you are in need of more advanced membership features and reporting, then you should use the PaidMembershipsPro integration.
Some Notes
1. You do NOT need to uninstall or deactivate your current version of LearnDash. Course Access Manager functionality is a standalone plugin that will create a new menu item in your WP Admin.
2. Course Access Manager essentially works like a streamlined membership plugin, optimized for LearnDash. If you are currently using another membership plugin (S2 Member, WishList Member, etc.), then there will be a conflict.
3. To “drip-feed” courses, you can set your access levels to auto-update after “X” number of days. Set-up an access level that includes the next logical lesson in its permissions and a user will then be “dripped” the content.
4. To remove access after “X” number of days, set-up an access level that has no permissions. Then, when creating your course access level, you can specify that users are upgraded to this zero permission level after a certain amount of time.
5. You can manually assign access levels from a user’s profile (screenshot below).
