Status in the Purchase History List
Last week we’ve introduced the purchase history feature in Tutor LMS so you can check your entire purchase history right from the dashboard. With the latest update, we’re taking this to the next level. We’ve added the “status” field to the purchase history. This will show the status for each purchase (e.g. Completed, Cancelled, On hold, etc.).
Shortcode for Course Query
You can embed a single course or multiple courses based on course ID and category. You can also exclude certain courses and limit how many courses you want to show. We have also added a parameter to sort the order. To know more about how these Tutor LMS shortcodes work and how to use them, click here.
Tutor Course Widget
You now get a dedicated Tutor LMS widget for your WordPress site. With this widget, you can add courses to any widget location. To get the widget, all you’ve to do is navigate to Appearance > Widgets > Tutor Course. You can then drag & drop the widget wherever you want to place it.
Support for Page Builders on Course Page
Many of you have been asking support for page builders on Tutor LMS’s course details pages. Here is a good news for you, because now you get that much-awaited feature. That means, now you can edit the course description/content area with any WordPress page composer (e.g. WP Page Builder, Gutenberg). Enjoy the styling options of your favorite page builder or Gutenberg blocks right on the course page.
There is More!
There are other new features in this update of Tutor LMS along with the ones we mentioned above. For starters, a simple shortcode generator to build [tutor_course] Shortcode from classic editor has been added in this update.
Moreover, when you insert `utils()->get_raw_course_price($course_id)`, it will be returned to your regular price and sale price as object. There are more functions added in this update as you can see from the changelog.
In addition, there have been more improvements. For users who wanted a change in the URL using the plural of courses, we have changed the Course URL to plural format- Courses. There are even more fixes and tweaks in this update to make sure we have improved your usability.
