Main Domain

On your main website, install a theme, and the plugins you want to add. Create home page and other stuff you want to show on main website. Design the website as you want.

Subdomain

After completing the main website now it’s time for the subdomain where we will install LifterLMS. Like a normal website, install LifterLMS on your subdomain, and add theme and other plugins.

Here is a process on how to install LifterLMS. After installing LifterLMS create courses and design your subdomain website.

Now the process will be to link the courses website to main website, so when user is convinced to purchase the courses they can move from your main website to the subdomain.

On your main website add buttons or direct link to your courses access plan then copy the access plan link form you courses.example.com and paste it on main website.
