Remove add course button from instructor dashboard

Hello @lsaaraal,

You can keep the marketplace enabled but disable “Apply to Become Instructor” button. Already applied and approved instructors will view this option to add course. You can navigate to instructor menu option from admin backend dashboard and hover over instructor username to remove them. Remember to keep new user default role as subscriber, do not change it to tutor instructor.

Hi thank you, but can subscriber be added to courses and can they check assignments?

Hi tried this and added as subscriber, still the add course appears.
If I remove them from instructor, I cant add them to a course. I just want to remove the function where instructors are able to ‘add course’ through their dashboard

Please let me know a CSS function if not to remove the button from ONLY Instructor dashbaord

Hello @lsaaraal,

Are you using latest version of WordPress, Tutor LMS and php 7.3 or higher? If you are using a cache plugin you can temporarily disable it then clear cache. Do you have the default instructor registration page unaltered, active and assigned to Tutor settings > instructor tab? Did your instructor sign up using the default registration form?

Students are assigned subscriber role and yes you can manually enroll subscribers to specific course after enabling the enrollments addon which is not included with the free plugin. Instructors are assigned author/tutor instructor user role. When you remove someone as instructor his/her user role becomes subscriber so he/she won’t see the option to add new course button anymore unless you are using a 3rd party plugin to create custom user roles.

You can copy paste the following css to hide “add a new course” button but this will hide it for both admin and instructor

.tutor-dashboard-header-button {
    display: none;
}

Safer option is to remove someone as instructor, keep memberships enabled and the new user default role as subscriber from WordPress settings > general. Do not change new user default role to customer, shop manager or any other role.
