Frequently Asked Questions
Does this plugin work without the Reign theme?
Section titled “Does this plugin work without the Reign theme?”No. The addon extends the Reign theme and requires it (or a Reign child theme). It also requires LearnDash. If either is inactive, the addon deactivates itself.
Where are the plugin settings?
Section titled “Where are the plugin settings?”Inside the Reign theme settings, on the LearnDash tab. The addon does not add its own top-level admin menu. See Configure the settings.
What are the exact version requirements?
Section titled “What are the exact version requirements?”WordPress 6.5 or newer and PHP 8.0 or newer, with Reign and LearnDash active. The plugin is tested up to WordPress 7.0.
Is there a [reign_groups] shortcode?
Section titled “Is there a [reign_groups] shortcode?”No. The only groups shortcode is [modern_groups]. For courses, [modern_courses] and its alias [reign_courses] are available.
What card templates do the shortcodes support?
Section titled “What card templates do the shortcodes support?”The course grid ([modern_courses]) supports classic, minimal, premium, and detailed. The group grid ([modern_groups]) does not use named templates; you control its card content with the show_* attributes instead.
Does the addon add a REST API or custom database tables?
Section titled “Does the addon add a REST API or custom database tables?”No. It has no REST endpoints and no custom tables. Settings live in the Reign theme’s options, per-item choices live in post/group/user meta, and reviews are stored as WordPress comments with rating meta.
How are reviews stored?
Section titled “How are reviews stored?”Reviews are native WordPress comments with a star rating saved in comment meta. You moderate them from the standard Comments screen. The addon disables LearnDash’s own review widgets so you do not get duplicate displays.
Can only enrolled users leave a review?
Section titled “Can only enrolled users leave a review?”Yes, if you enable the verification-required option. Users who are not eligible see a configurable message instead of the review form. See Course and group reviews.
What happens to the linked BuddyPress group when I delete a LearnDash group?
Section titled “What happens to the linked BuddyPress group when I delete a LearnDash group?”By default, nothing: the BuddyPress group is kept. Only if you enable Auto Delete Social Group does deleting the LearnDash group also delete the linked BuddyPress group and its data. See BuddyPress integration.
Does the addon process payments?
Section titled “Does the addon process payments?”No. For paid courses it shows a buy button that hands off to WooCommerce, Easy Digital Downloads, or Paid Memberships Pro. Your store handles the payment.
Is it translation ready and RTL ready?
Section titled “Is it translation ready and RTL ready?”Yes. The text domain is reign-learndash-addon, translations live in the languages directory, and RTL stylesheets are shipped.
How do I move older reviews into the addon’s format?
Section titled “How do I move older reviews into the addon’s format?”Use the Review Migration admin page under LearnDash LMS, or run wp reign-ld migrate-reviews with WP-CLI.
