Course preview is not working if course is in draft state

  • If a course is in draft state, in the preview lessons can not be selected an pre-viewed. Only if course is published, preview works as expected.
    If all courses are in draft state (= there is no course in published state) preview doesnt work at all.

    I tryed plain new empty wordpress install using theme 2024, adding no plugins at all but only LearnPress. Using just the demo courses which can be added by LP – tools. And I encounter serious preview problems on courses in draft state.

    Here is how to reproduce:

    Create plain new empty wordpress (V 6.4.3 on PHP 8.0 or 8.1) website with just theme twenty twenty-four (without any plugins)
    E.g. use tastewp.com -> create new site (de-select all suggested plugins)
    Install Learnpress Plugin (V 4.2.6.1 = current version) by plugins – add new plugin …
    use LP – tools to install a demo course
    Give the demo course a different name then just “sample course” (e.g. “my sample course 1”)
    use LP – tools to install another demo course
    cklick edit on both courses (in new window), test the preview” preview changes” (or “preview in new window” if using block editor)
    6.1. select curiculum, click any lesson,… (test a bit)
    -> works as expected (same view as a student would have if the course would be public and course enrolled)
    set one of the courses to “draft” state and preview this course
    7.1. select “curiculum”
    7.2. select any lesson
    -> you?l find yourselfe in the course main page with “overview” selected (instead in the view curiculum at the left side bar and course content in the main view)
    set the other courses to “draft” state so that both (=all) courses now are in draft state and preview this course (or/and the other one)
    -> You ?l see a more or less empty page showing you have navigated to “Home – All Courses – “, nothing realy more. No course preview at all!

    I have made a record screen video you can find here: https://weiselrichtig.ocloud.de/index.php/s/ZywkjEMdRqwYFWP

    Hope we can figure out and solve soon!

    I have setup a plain new WP site. Installed theme 2020 and LP no other themes no other plugins.

    ( IMHO it got even worse I now have also problems viewing the published courses lessons. )

    I made a screen record video: https://weiselrichtig.ocloud.de/index.php/s/GPTb5SZxgQJYjmS

    As mentioned the effect is quiet easy reproducable by the steps I explained in my inital post.

    I would like to give you backend admin access to the site I am testing with. I can send you credentials by mail. You can reach me by mail at: [email protected]

    Hi.
    Has this problem been resolved? I’m seeing the exact same incorrect behavior in my website, on course previews saved as drafts.
    Actual permalink structure:/%postname%/

    Can you please advice?

    Thanks in advance

    Hi, I am interested in this topic as well; it looks like a major issue. Can anyone provide feedback?

    Hello,

    This is a major issue with our website at the moment as instructors are not allowed to publish courses.

    Nothing can be previewed (lessons/quizzes/questions) until the course is published.

    When trying to preview any of the above mentioned, it redirects the user to the main course overview page.

    Has anyone been able to figure this out?
