    1. Hi,
      is there a way to assign automatically to a LearnDash group?
      I don’t find this option anywhere.
      I can assign to which course enroll but nothing about an integration between User Registration and LearnDash groups.
      Thanks

    2. Hi Michael! The Learndash add-on doesn’t support Learndash Groups yet. But, this feature will be rolled out pretty soon. 🙂

  1. Hello,

    Every time a user wants to register to my Learndash course, they are sent to the WordPress dashboard as a ‘student’ and not the actual ‘my account page’ where the Learndash course is! Can you help me with this? Will this plugin fix this issue? or is there a WordPress setting I’m not going to? I am also unable to find or edit the ‘registration, login or buy now’ Please help!

  2. Hi, what if I used this for lead generation? So first sign they will sign up for free courses, but I would also want them to see the option to upgrade for a paid account in their My Account, is this possible with this plugin?

    1. Hi @Julianne,

      Sorry to say but this is not possible as per the current version of the plugin. We might introduce such options in the future. We will make sure to let you know if we introduce such a feature.

      Let me know if you have any other questions and I will get back to you.
      Regards!

  3. Hello, does this support removing the username field and using just email address as username in the registration form, please?

    1. Hi Andrej! It is not possible to do so as the Email field is a mandatory field and the registration form cannot be created without the Email field.

  4. What about the default Learndash registration buttons? Are they updated as well?

    And can I use the name field in the Learndash notifications?

    1. Hello Ron! Default LearnDash registration buttons are fully handled by LearnDash itself. They aren’t updated by the changes from our LearnDash add-on. The main purpose of our LearnDash add-on is to integrate the User Registration plugin with LearnDash so that users who register via our registration forms can access the courses created on the Learndash.

      And our plugin doesn’t have the LearnDash notification feature. If you’ve more queries regarding our plugin please feel free to contact our support team here https://wpeverest.com/contact/
