We’ve just released new versions of Sensei LMS and WooCommerce Paid Courses. This means Sensei with WooCommerce Paid Courses also gets an update, since it’s a bundle of Sensei LMS + WooCommerce Paid Courses.
What’s in this Release?
This is a smallish release on the heels of the 2.0 update.
We’ve added an Edit Course button to the Edit Lesson page to make it easier to navigate between the lesson and course:
For sites with a large number of learners, we’ve made some performance optimizations to the Analysis page that should improve page load time.
We added event logging to the WordPress dashboard. You should have already received an email about this if you are subscribed to the WooCommerce.com mailing list.

What’s Next?
For the next release of WooCommerce Paid Courses, we will be adding the ability to attach a course to more than one product. This will enable you to sell the same course in multiple ways, such as a standalone product and also as part of a subscription. Some prototypes and discussion of this feature can be found in this blog post.
After updating, you will see Sensei with WooCommerce Paid Courses listed on the Plugins page:
If you currently have a valid Sensei license for your site, nothing changes with the release of Sensei with WooCommerce Paid Courses. Your existing plugin will continue to function as before, and you’ll still receive updates and support.
You can read more about why we made this change here.
The new minimum required version of WooCommerce is 3.0.
The Access Permissions setting now controls only lesson content, not lesson and course content. Always displaying the content on the single course page is an opportunity to further promote a course and encourage user enrolment.
When Sensei is first activated, a pop-up appears asking you to join our mailing list. This pop-up will only appear on sites that have never had Sensei installed before.
We added a new Sensei LMS extensions page available from the Sensei LMS > Extensions menu.
You can read more about what else is in this release, including template file changes and deprecations, here and here.

We’ve just released Sensei 1.12.3, which fixes a few troublesome bugs and does some preliminary work that will make the transition to Sensei 2.0 easier. Given this, we recommend that you upgrade to 1.12.3 as soon as possible ahead of the upcoming Sensei 2.0 release.
It’s important to note that the upcoming 2.0 versions of Sensei and our official extensions will not work on sites running older versions of PHP. If you are running a version of PHP that is older than 5.6, we strongly encourage you to update to 5.6 or higher.
