Template Overrides

The addon ships its own LifterLMS templates and lets you override any of them from your theme, so you can customize the markup without editing the plugin.

How template resolution works

The addon registers its lifterlms/ folder as the template source and routes LifterLMS course, membership, lesson, quiz and assignment views through it. When a template is needed, the addon looks in this order:

1. yourtheme/reign-lifterlms-addon/{template-name}
2. yourtheme/{template-name}
3. The addon’s own lifterlms/{template-name}

To override a template, copy it from the addon’s lifterlms/ folder into a reign-lifterlms-addon/ folder inside your (child) theme, keeping the same path, and edit your copy.

Templates that can be overridden

Template	Used for
single-course.php	Single course page.
single-llms_membership.php	Single membership page.
single-llms-posts.php	Single lesson, quiz and assignment pages.
course/template-single-course-sidebar.php	The sticky single-course sidebar.
course/syllabus.php	Course curriculum / syllabus.
course/lesson-preview.php	Lesson preview item.
myaccount/dashboard-section.php	A student dashboard section.
myaccount/navigation.php	Student dashboard navigation.

Archive views (course archive, membership archive, taxonomy archives) are also routed through the addon’s template_include and lifterlms_locate_template filters, so a matching template in your theme overrides them.

Helper functions

Two helpers back this system and are available to developers:

• reign_lifterlms_locate_template( $template_name, $template_path, $default_path ) returns the resolved path, respecting theme overrides.
• reign_lifterlms_get_template( $template_name, $args, $template_path, $default_path ) locates and includes a template, passing $args into scope.

Both run through the reign_lifterlms_locate_template filter. See Helper functions.
