Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

Course Access Extender for LearnDash solves a common gap in the LearnDash + WooCommerce integration and adds a complete student management dashboard.

Core Fix

If a student buys a Course Extension product before their current access has expired, LearnDash does not extend the access correctly — it either resets or ignores it. This plugin intercepts the order and adds the extension days on top of the existing expiry.

Example: Student has 30 days left → buys 90-day extension → gets 30 + 90 = 120 more days. ✅

Students Dashboard

A new Students tab under WooCommerce → Course Access Extender lets you:

  • View all enrolled students with their course, expiry date, days remaining, and status (Active / Expired).
  • Filter by course, status (active/expired), expiry window, enrollment date range, or search by name/email.
  • Sort by student name or expiry date.
  • Adjust any student’s expiry date directly from the table with a date picker.
  • View a student’s full purchase history in a modal — showing all course-related orders with dates, products, quantities, totals, and order status.

Activity Log

A full audit trail of every access grant, extension, admin adjustment, and profile change with filters for course, action type, keyword search, and date range.
