I installed it thinking I'd just need something basic to upload a few videos, and I ended up creating courses with lessons, quizzes, and even certificates without having to touch a single line of code. What I like most is that it has a SPA-style admin panel, so everything runs very smoothly, without those endless reloads you experience with other plugins of this type. I also noticed that it barely affects the website's loading time, which I appreciate because I already had quite a few plugins installed and was worried my site would become slow. If you sell courses, it integrates seamlessly with WooCommerce, which I really value because I didn't want to depend on a complicated payment gateway or complex configurations. Furthermore, the latest version includes AI tools and multi-instructor options, which is fantastic if you ever want to scale and have more people upload content. Therefore, I would recommend it without hesitation, although I do advise keeping it updated and carefully reviewing the permissions if you handle student data. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/af6289d1ee96a654d450edbe22e97a4128549fb5c62cd6822cd30b40fdde8838? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Outstanding support team!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/outstanding-support-team-8/)󠁿 [Ashikul Islam](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ashiku67/) July 14, 2026 Outstanding support team!
