Settings

The LearnDash settings screen is where you apply some global settings for your LearnDash site. It’s a good idea to go through these settings before you start building your learning platform. Most of these settings will apply to all courses, lessons, topics and quizzes that you create.

Upon installation, LearnDash will apply a set of default settings. Take your time with these settings. It’s much easier to get them right now than to change them later when you have a bunch of courses set up.

Access your LearnDash general settings by navigating to LEARNDASH LMS > SETTINGS in the WordPress admin area.

You’ll see a navigation menu across the top of the screen. Each one of these items will take you to a page with different LearnDash settings. For a detailed explanation of the settings, please visit the following articles:

Telemetry (Usage Statistics)

Whenever you visit a LearnDash settings page for the first time, you may be prompted with a message asking if you would like to share plugin usage statistics to LearnDash and StellarWP Family of Brands. This is totally optional. If you opt-in, we’ll send you some helpful tips now and then. But if you’d rather not, no worries – everything will still work perfectly.

Once the selection is made, the page will refresh and the opt-in will no longer show.

If you ever change your mind about sharing data, you can always adjust this in LearnDash LMS > Settings > Advanced > Data Sharing.
