The Course Catalog

The LifterLMS Course Catalog is the page utilized by LifterLMS to display a paginated list of all the courses you have published and made available.

You can select any WordPress page to be your Course Catalog but ensure that this page is not also configured to be one of the other 3 primary LifterLMS Pages (Membership Catalog, Purchase, or My Courses).

The course catalog is the page where your visitors will find a list of all your available courses. You can customize which page acts as your catalog, how many courses appear on that page, and the exact order they display in.

Follow these steps to update your course catalog settings:

1. Navigate to LifterLMS > Settings in your WordPress dashboard.
2. Click on the “Courses” tab.
3. Scroll down to find the “Course Catalog” section.

4. Choose the page you want to use from the “Course Catalog” dropdown menu. You can click the “View” link next to this setting to see how the page looks to your visitors.
5. Type a number into the “Courses per page” box to limit how many courses appear on a single page at one time. If you want to show all courses on one page, enter “-1” into this box.
6. Select an option from the “Catalog Sorting” dropdown menu to determine the display order for courses on the courses page. You can choose options such as “Order (Low to High)”, “Order (High to Low)”, “Title (A to Z)”, “Title (Z to A)”, or “Most Recent”.
7. Click the Save Changes button to apply your new settings.

Featured Pricing Information allows you to display a pricing comparison, such as a sale price, directly in the course catalog. This helps users quickly identify discounts without needing to click into the details.

Below are the steps to add Featured Pricing Information for Courses:

Step 1. Navigate to LifterLMS > Courses and select the course you want to edit.

Step 2. Go to the “Course Options” section.

Step 3. Click on the “General” tab.

Step 4. Locate the “Featured Pricing Information” field.

Step 5. Enter the original price (e.g., $500), apply strikethrough formatting, and add the new sale price (e.g., $250).

Step 6. Save your changes. The updated pricing will be displayed in the course catalog, helping users see the discount at a glance.

LifterLMS automatically generates the list of courses on your catalog page. However, you can still add your own text, images, or videos to this page to provide a custom introduction for your students.

Follow these steps to add content to your catalog page:

1. Navigate to Dashboard > Pages.
2. Find the page you selected as your “Course Catalog” in the LifterLMS settings.
3. Hover over the page title and click Edit.
4. Add your text, images, or other blocks using the WordPress editor.
5. Click Update to save your changes.

Any content you add in the editor appears at the top of the page, before the list of courses. The dynamic course grid always displays automatically below your custom content.

Please note that this method only adds content to the top of the page.

You cannot use the WordPress page editor to change the layout, order, or design of the individual course cards within the grid. To change how the courses look or function, you must use the LifterLMS settings or a compatible theme.
