Remove – Mark Lesson Complete

Maybe this helps:

remove_action( 'lifterlms_single_lesson_after_summary', 'lifterlms_template_complete_lesson_link', 10 )

@alkanadi,

@jurasjo’s solution will work but please take note:

you will not see or be able to track any student progress
you will not be able to trigger engagements based off or course, lesson, section, or track completion (emails, certificates, achievements)
you will not be able to utilize prerequisites of any kind

Disable at your own risk!

You can add the code from @jurasjo’s post to your theme’s functions.php file or to a custom plugin.

Take care,

@thomasplevy I want to keep engagements and student progress. I will be marking lessons as complete programmatically according to these instructions: https://gist.github.com/thomasplevy/672487a618f7c8d92605ceb46ff86ecb

When you say that engagements and student progress won’t work, is that assuming that lessons never get marked as complete? If so, is there a better solution for getting rid of that button? For example, can I skrink it to the size of 1 pixel? There must be a way.

@alkanadi,

As long as things are programmatically marked as complete you’re fine to remove the button.

The removal without the solution you’re planning is a bad idea, I just wanted to make sure that was clear.

Good luck!

However thomasplevy this is a pointless add to a otherwise very good app… I have a lot of corporate clients you want there staff to take this course.. Staff login click mark complete move on to test… The Company don’t get what they are paying for and we have no way of stopping staff doing it… Stops a lot of businesses using my site I have to redirect them to something else.

@yelto1966,

I disagree that having mark as complete functionality is pointless. It may not make sense for your particular needs but if I were to remove mark as complete functionality from the plugin I’d have a few thousand users screaming at me because they want and need to know what their student’s progress looks like.

If you want to remove it it’s very easy to do!

@thomasplevy
That is so true. The only reason I am using this plugin is so students can keep track of their progress. That is the main point of a LMS.

Yes I agree we need to keep track of the learner but what are you tracking.. that I came to the page clicked completed and received a certificate.. If the learner was forced by the system to complete the course, i.e. watch the video or do the tin can then you are tracking something i.e. that the learning took place.. If I was given a certificate for login to something I would be professor Hawkins equal…

@yelto1966,

You’re correct that this isn’t perfect. We intend to build video and audio embed tracking with various providers but I haven’t been able to allocate any time to do so yet. I still think that this isn’t a useless feature and as we’ve already noted you can disable it if you don’t find it useful for your particular needs.
