Sadly every version brings a new bug. CoursePress is full of bugs. You need to start testing these releases before you publish them.

This is a pretty critical bug. When will it be fixed? CoursePress is by far the buggiest plugin I have ever used. You need to hire an SQA engineer to actually test these releases before you publish them.

To be clear, I am not against paying for Pro features. But $600/yr is ridiculous. This makes CoursePress one of the most expensive LMS solutions. CoursePress does not offer anything that competing LMS systems do that would justify this price.

LearnPress is free for unlimited courses. WP Courseware is $100/yr for unlimited courses. Sensai, by Automattic (creators of WordPress), is $129/site for unlimited courses. LearnDash is about $150/yr for unlimited courses. Then we get CoursePress — $600/yr for unlimited courses, bundled with a bunch of plugins nobody wants.

Part of business is doing a competitive price analysis. It’s time to rethink your pricing.

Going back to the old file and changing the key seems to work so far, but more testing will be required.

Since replacing this file with the one provided we now get “Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in” referencing the class-utility.php file on line 487.

This seems to have fixed the mcrypt error, but now everytime I click Next on a unit it doesn’t do anything. The screen dims but nothing happens.

I will NEVER pay $50/mo ($600/yr) for this plugin. I have absolutely no need for the other plugins in the WMUDEV bundle and shouldn’t be forced to subscribe to a bundle in order to get the Pro version. Please reconsider how you package and sell this plugin. First, however, you need to make the free version less restrictive so we can actually evaluate it. At one time your description said 4 courses could be created, but now you are down to 1.

I agree, it’s ridiculous they are using the free repository to push what is essentially a demo. If they wanted to make an actual, usable free version to get people to consider purchasing it should support 4 or 5 courses. Or do like LearnPress and make the base plugin free and sell upgrades to add functionality.

Agreed. I’ve encountered nothing but bugs with CoursePress. It’s a poorly written plugin. And the free version of this plugin is a joke — the 1 course limitation makes this plugin almost useless. (the WordPress description says 2 courses but the plugin only lets you do 1 — false advertising). It’s not worth $50/mo.

This site is running PHP 5.6.27.

I should have been more clear in my initial post. The problem is not limited to my custom theme. This exact same problem happens using the unmodified CoursePress theme. My custom theme so far has only changed the visual styles. There have been no edits to the code for each page. The problem is in the unmodified CoursePress theme you provide.

I had this same problem. I was getting a message to check permissions, but even on 777, I still got the error. Deleting the wflogs folder and letting Wordfence create it again solved the issue.

Sounds good.

Just for reference, the host for the site in question uses CloudLinux to manage PHP. It doesn’t support php.ini or .user.ini. Any PHP variables should be added to .htaccess.

I found a fix that works for my server configuration. The code that Wordfence adds to the htaccess was enclosed in an IfModule statement. When I removed that IfModule statement so it was just php_value then it works.
