Something big is on the way: we’re getting ready to release LifterLMS 10.0.
This milestone release marks a major new chapter for the leading WordPress LMS for course creators, coaches, training companies, schools, and membership sites.
Version 10.0 is more than a routine update. It reflects:
- Where we believe online education is headed (more on that soon)
- How LifterLMS can help course creators & teams build better learning experiences, create more revenue opportunities, and run a powerful education business
For more than 13 years, LifterLMS has helped entrepreneurs like you, educators, and organizations build serious learning businesses on WordPress.
If you are new here, LifterLMS launched in October, 2014.
And we’ve remained relentlessly committed to our vision ever since:
Help course creators lift up others through education.
Through countless platform changes, industry trends, and everything in between…
LifterLMS is still founder-led, still bootstrapped without investors prioritizing profit over product, still focused, and still building for the people actually doing the work of teaching, training, and serving learners online.
While others in the space have changed hands, changed direction, or chased shortcuts, we’ve continued improving the platform with a simple goal in mind:
Build the best WordPress LMS for people who want control, flexibility, a platform they can grow with, and tech support you can depend on.
LifterLMS 10.0 is a reflection of that commitment.
What’s Coming in LifterLMS 10.0…
Here are some highlights of what you can expect from this upcoming major release.
A New Way to Deliver Live Learning Experiences
LifterLMS 10.0 introduces powerful new capabilities for creators and teams who want to deliver live, virtual, and instructor-led learning (ILT) from within their WordPress LMS.
If live coaching, workshops, training, or events are part of your education business model, this release is built with you in mind.
New Tools to Recover Lost Revenue
With this upcoming release, your LifterLMS-powered site will soon also automatically recover lost revenue for you 24/7.
For creators and training businesses, every missed checkout is a missed opportunity. LifterLMS 10.0 helps you recover more revenue and improve conversions through smart, unobtrusive, automated, and personalized follow-ups.
A More Focused Learner Experience
One of the most exciting parts of this release is a stronger, more streamlined learning experience designed to help learners stay focused and eliminate distractions.
The goal is simple. Your students will be:
- Less distracted
- More focused
- More likely to complete your courses
Faster, Smoother Course Building
LifterLMS 10.0 makes it easier to manage and build learning experiences more efficiently inside your LMS website.
That means less friction behind the scenes and more momentum when you’re creating, editing, and improving your courses without switching tabs.
What is coming after LifterLMS 10.0?
LifterLMS has always set the standard as the best WordPress LMS.
While 10.0 is full of innovations to benefit education platforms worldwide, even more innovations are on the horizon.
Note: You guessed it. By this, we mean exploring what AI means for education and how we bring that to you in a way that is open, helpful for course creators, and responsible.
The New Standard for Modern eLearning on WordPress
This release marks our commitment to continuing to raise the standard for what a WordPress LMS should be. Built by a team:
- That has never been more excited about the future of education
- Remains fiercely independent
- Still building for education entrepreneurs who refuse to compromise on ownership or outcomes
