How to Create, Duplicate, Update or Delete a LifterLMS Assignment
To create a LifterLMS assignment, first make sure that you have the LifterLMS Assignments add-on installed.
You will need to head over to the LifterLMS course builder.
Hover over the assignments icon in any lesson to begin.
On the right side of the screen, you will see the option to create a new assignment. Click on this box.
To add an existing (previously created) LifterLMS assignment to a lesson, first head over to the LifterLMS course builder.
Hover over the assignments icon in any lesson to begin and click to add an assignment.
On the right side of your screen, you will see an option to “Add Existing Assignment.”
A dropdown menu will appear, allowing you to add an already existing Assignment. If you know the name of the assignment you would like to add, you can also type it in the box to pull it up.
To update a LifterLMS assignment, head over to the LifterLMS course builder.
Open the lesson that contains the assignment, then hover over the assignment icon.
Click on the icon and the assignments editor will open at the right side of your screen. You can then edit the assignment.
To delete a LifterLMS assignment, head over to the LifterLMS course builder.
Open the lesson that contains the assignment, then hover over the assignment icon.
Click on the icon, and the assignments editor will open on the right side of your screen. You can then click on the trash icon in the upper-right corner to delete the assignment.
Sometimes you may want to remove an assignment from a specific lesson without permanently deleting it from your website. Detaching an assignment removes it from the current lesson, but keeps the assignment data so you can use it again later.
Here is how you can detach an assignment from your lesson:
- Navigate to LifterLMS > Courses from your WordPress dashboard.
- Click on the name of the course you want to edit.
- Click the Course Builder button to open the course outline.
- Click on the specific lesson that contains the assignment.
- Look at the settings panel on the right side of the screen, then click the attached assignment to open its settings.
- Click the Detach button, which looks like a “broken link” icon.
The assignment is now removed from that lesson, but it remains safely stored in your LifterLMS database for future use.
