As promised, WooCommerce Paid Courses 1.1 is now available for beta testing!
We’ve been busy working on adding the ability to attach multiple products to the same course in the WooCommerce Paid Courses extension. This means that you will soon be able to sell your courses as a simple product, as a subscription and as a membership if you so desire:
A Note for Those Using Memberships
As part of this work, we’ve removed the membership notice from the course archive, course category and single course pages for courses that are part of a membership.
Instead, the course excerpt will now be displayed on the course archive and course category pages, while the course content and lessons will be displayed on the single course page, regardless of whether or not the course is part of a membership. Making this content visible is an opportunity to promote the course and entice people to enrol.
What Else is in this Release?
- The Unpurchased Courses shortcode has been updated to include course memberships.
- Student progress is no longer deleted when a subscription is cancelled. This means a student can pick up where they left off should they later resubscribe.
