Video demo of how to change permalink terminology in the URLs with LifterLMS 7.6+
Have you ever wondered how you can change the /course/ permalink on your LifterLMS website? Look no further, we are teaching you how to do that here.
LifterLMS uses the /course/ permalink structure to identify that this is a course. For example, your course link can look this way: domain.com/course/this-is-your-course. For some sites, you may want to change the word “course” for your permalink structure.

- A method to customize code in your site. We recommend the Code Snippets plugin.
- The code itself.
There are steps involved in making sure you do this the right way. Please, always back up your site just incase anything goes wrong and breaks anything.

- Go to plugins > Add New
- Install and activate your preferred code plugin. We recommend Code Snippets
- Insert this code in the PHP code editor plugin you have just installed and activated:
Replace “your-course-name” with the desired new name. This means if you want it to read domain.com/machines/course-about-machines then you would have to change that to machines.
