Is there any issues ( or anything I should know) about using learndash with PaidMembershipPro AND Event Espresso 4????
I’m not aware of any major conflicts, but please report any issues.
Does the integration with LearnDash enable users that are enrolled in a course to be automatically registered for an Event associated with that course?
Hello Adele-
Thanks for the note. The integration allows for one or more courses to be associated with an event in EE. When a user (who is logged in) registers for the event through EE, they are enrolled into the associated LearnDash courses.
I love how I can auto enroll based on an event, but how can I get the “Take This Course” button to either go away, or to direct to the Event? I wish to require the “event” in order to enroll in the course.
Thanks
