Courses Page Does Not Exist

Hi there, @robertmista,

Thanks a lot for your positive feedback! We love that you are enjoying Sensei so far. Now onto your question:

there is a page with slug ‘courses’ that exists on my site. It is at: domain.com/courses/
I need to edit this page.

The page with the slug ‘courses’ that you’re seeing is being dynamically generated by the Sensei LMS plugin, which is why it doesn’t appear in the Pages section of your WordPress dashboard.

Pages like these are actually handled by a custom post type or through a “virtual page” created by the plugin, instead of being a traditional WordPress page.

To edit that, you can work on the course archive page as follows:

1. Create a new page – you can call it anything you like. In the new page, you should ensure it is blank with no templates applied to it.

2. Then, navigate to Sensei LMS > Settings > Courses. Here, you can select the page you just created in the ‘Course Archive Page’ setting and save. This will replace the default /courses URL with this new page.

3. Now you will find this ‘courses’ page in your WordPress pages, and you can edit it like any other WordPress page.

Please note that this might likely overwrite the structure of the course page as set up by Sensei LMS. You would then need to try adding the Sensei shortcodes to ensure your course still shows up on this page. You can test and add the?[sensei_courses]?shortcode in your ‘courses’ page to show all your courses. This shortcode outputs your course loop.

Hope that’s all clear! Let me know how it goes, and if you get stuck at any step, just let us know, and we’ll be glad to help.

Hi Stef,

Thank you very much for taking the time to write such a detailed reply, This makes a lot of sense now.

Especially knowing that the /courses/ page is actually the ‘Courses Archive Page’.

I think I know now how to customize it to how I need it.

Thanks again!

Robert
