This plugin is for LearnDash site owners and developers who want their course pages to visually match their WordPress theme. It solves LearnDash's inconsistent default design by restyling course content, focus mode, profile pages, navigation, and course grids to blend with the active theme.

  • Auto-detects LD3 and Legacy templates
  • Improved focus mode sidebar design
  • Unified login/registration form styles
  • Equal height course grid columns
  • Font sizes inherited from theme
  • WisdmLabs Ratings, Reviews & Feedback styling
  • RTL language support
  • Restyled quiz elements and statistics modal

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Design Upgrade for LearnDash

The free version doesn't have any. It simply applies a fresh coat of paint behind the scenes. Check out our pro version that includes 100+ settings you can customize.
No. We've carefully crafted it to only apply to LearnDash elements. The rest of your site (header, footer, pages, blog posts, etc.) will continue to use the styles determined by whichever WordPress theme you are using.
Technically, yes, but you will encounter some weird design issues. We recommend you check out our similar pro plugin to customize LearnDash styles.
The general design & UX improvements that Design Upgrade makes will still take effect. However, any customizations you make to LearnDash elements in Elementor will override our plugin's styles. But yes, you can use the two together without any issues.
I have done some testing with the Divi LearnDash Kit, but I haven't tested every element. It should work in most cases, but you'll want to test all your pages. If you find something that isn't compatible, please let us know in the support forum so we can fix it.
Absolutely. Feel free to add your own CSS if you want to further customize the look & feel of your LearnDash site. Just place your CSS in a child theme or the Additional CSS area of the WordPress Customizer. Or check out our pro plugin.
No. We do add one CSS file to the header, but as long as you're using a reliable WordPress host with decent performance, you shouldn't notice a difference. IE11 Support & Bug Fixes The two main CSS features we use that cause issues in IE11 are CSS custom properties (variables) and flexbox. You can use the following CSS to fix some of these issues if you're using IE11. To fix some layout issues with the course grid: .ld-course-list-items div.ld_course_grid .thumbnail.course { display: block !important; } .ld-course-list-items div.ld_course_grid .thumbnail.course .caption { display: block; } To fix colors not appearing, you'll need to use the dev tools to look for all CSS properties that start with var(--. These represent CSS custom properties, and they don't work in IE11. For example, replace var(--ldx-color-link) with #000000, or whatever hexadecimal color value you'd like to use for your link color.
Most likely, yes. We'll certainly try. We designed this plugin to be flexible so that it takes on many of the characteristics of your WordPress theme. But every theme is built differently, so styles will differ from site to site. Shoot us a message in the support forum with a link to your site and we'll try to help out.
