You’ll learn how to build, and sell an online course with WordPress, using only free plugins! With this step by step tutorial, the only thing you’ll need to get started is some good web hosting. We recommend using SiteGround, you’ll get a big discount when you first sign up here ➡ https://ideaspot.com.au/siteground-70 (70% off)
👋UPDATE👋 in 2021 I’d recommend using TutorLMS rather than learn dash – I have a setup tutorial here: https://youtu.be/p9mpXH0N620
TutorLMS has a much better signup and payment process using WooCommerce! It’s also free too!

We will be using the free versions of LearnPress & Elementor, along with an Astra starter site template to build the online course. One of the best features of the LearnPress free version is that it includes a PayPal payment gateway that is easy to setup. This should give good results for beginners. We also make a customized login page using ‘Login with Ajax’. Later in the course building tutorial, we show a few methods of adding videos to your courses (free methods and pro methods).
This is a complete step by step guide to build an online course. So, we’ve divided the video into sections so if you need to skip to a certain part, you can do that here:

Hello, thanks for the amazing video ! I have two questions by using CSS on learnpress :
– Do you know how to change the color of the link "please connect in order to acces to the course". I can change the color of the phrase but the link stay in blank :/ I tried to use CSS but unsuccesful for the moment.
– Do you know how to change the title text "Connexion" because in french it's written "Connetion" with a T and I have to change the letter.
Thanks again for yout CSS and the beautiful vidéo,
Bests regards
This is awesome tutorials, the missing I think is showing your screen about the emails they get when students enrolled. But anyways you are awesome. No one can beat idea spot when it comes to "cleaner design" I love it
Great! Just 2 questions:
1: is it possible for others to register on the site and offer courses?
2: can courses be live streamed after paying for access?
great video thanks, I am trying to create a custom register page with ajax but not sure what the shortcode would be for that, any ideas? I have tried [rwa].
Thank you very much for this awesome tutorial. Just a quick question, instead of paypal, can we use stripe payment method for this example ? From my country, paypal cannot be used.
everytime I embed a video and hit update it removes the code. any suggestions?
Nice tutorial Thank you
Is there a workaround for taking payments using stripe not pay pal?
What an absolutely excellent tutorial. Thank you very much.
how to send emails to students after they purchase the course automaticly ?
Hi Can you show us how to categorise the courses please.

Great tutorial of all time, saved my few bucks!
Can't we use Gutenberg with learnpress? Elementor is paid I guess?
Amazing tutorial. Thank you from India
After searching all over the internet for solutions, I came across your video where you use Astra Theme with Elementor and you are actually building a course! You completely took the headache out of the process and made it look simple and easy! You just made my day. And you have a pleasant voice and a calm way to explain things. Wish there were more videos like this. A HUGE THANK YOU!!!
Do you suggest that Astra Theme + TutorLMS + Woocommerce is the best option in relation to Learnpress?
sir i need your contact
And how do you log out from the menu??????
Are the page templates still available? They didn't seem to show up (like in your video) after I imported the theme.
