You're running five plugins where one would do.

ProPanel for reporting
$99/yr, but it doesn't touch instructor management or group enrollment
WISDM Instructor Role for instructors
$79/yr, but no groups, no bulk tools, no messaging
Groups Plus for seat management
$199/yr. A separate plugin, a separate settings page, a separate vendor
A separate messaging plugin
$49-99/yr, because LearnDash still has no native student messaging
Bulk enrollment tools to handle CSV imports
$99+/yr, because enrolling 500 students one at a time isn't sustainable
Dashboard for LearnDash covers all of this. One plugin, one renewal, one place to manage everything.
The only plugin of its kind

The only plugin that lets instructors build and run courses entirely from the front end.

ProPanel shows reports. WISDM shows an instructor view. Uncanny Toolkit adds content widgets. Not one of them lets an instructor create a course, add lessons, build quizzes, write questions, and issue certificates without touching wp-admin. Dashboard for LearnDash is the only plugin where the entire course lifecycle happens on the front end.

01

Full course creation without wp-admin

Instructors create courses, add lessons, create topics, build quizzes, write questions, and set up certificates entirely from the front-end dashboard. No WordPress admin access, ever.

02

The only plugin with instructor commissions built in

Track revenue by instructor, set commission percentages, and show payout history without a separate plugin or a spreadsheet.

03

Every role covered in one dashboard

Students track progress and download certificates. Instructors create and manage courses. Admins handle reporting, groups, and bulk enrollment. One plugin handles all three.

Your full LearnDash dashboard is live in under 10 minutes

1
Install and activate
Upload the plugin zip and activate in WordPress. Your existing courses, students, and groups stay exactly where they are.
2
Add the dashboard page
Create a WordPress page and add the Dashboard for LearnDash shortcode. Students, instructors, and admins each see their own tailored view automatically.
3
Cancel the addons you no longer need
ProPanel, Instructor Role, Groups Plus: Dashboard for LearnDash covers all of them. Switch over, verify everything works, then let those renewals lapse.

No other single plugin lets instructors create courses, quizzes, and certificates from the front end

ProPanel handles reporting. WISDM handles instructor views. Uncanny Toolkit adds content modules. Not one of them lets an instructor build a full course without wp-admin access. Dashboard for LearnDash is the only plugin where instructors create courses, lessons, topics, quizzes, questions, and certificates from the front end, and still covers groups, bulk enrollment, messaging, Zoom, and reporting.

Nothing else comes close. Matching this feature set means buying ProPanel ($99/yr) + WISDM Instructor Role ($79/yr) + Groups Plus ($199/yr) + a messaging plugin ($99/yr) + bulk enrollment tools ($99/yr). That's $575/yr minimum, with five renewal emails and five support contacts. Dashboard for LearnDash covers all of it from $99/yr.

Replaces WISDM Instructor Role ($79/yr)

Every instructor gets their own front-end workspace

No WordPress admin access. No permissions headaches. Instructors log in and see only their courses, their students, and their earnings. They manage enrollment, review quiz results, track commission, approve assignments, and message students from a clean front-end dashboard built for how instructors actually work.

Per-instructor course view
Each instructor sees only their assigned courses and enrolled students. Other instructors' data stays completely separate.
Commission tracking built in
Set a revenue percentage per instructor. Earnings calculate automatically from WooCommerce orders. Payout history is visible to both instructor and admin.
Assignment approval from the front end
Instructors review and approve student assignment submissions directly from their dashboard. No wp-admin needed, no separate review tools to configure.

Rated 4.7/5 on Trustpilot from 87 reviews

Top notch support! I've been frustrated generally by the slow support for most themes and plugins, but they are helpful and quick to reply. Highly recommend!

I wanted to build a community website and these guys created the perfect plugins for me. To be honest, I want to buy every single one of their plugins.

Common questions

What can students do from the dashboard?
Students get a full personal learning hub: view enrolled courses with progress tracking, browse lessons and topics, see quiz scores and attempt history, submit assignments, download earned certificates, and message instructors directly. Everything is accessible from the front end without any WordPress admin access.
What types of reports does it include?
The Insights tab has six visual charts covering course completion, enrollment trends, time spent, top courses, drop-off rates, and revenue. Beyond that, there are dedicated report pages for Quiz Attempts, Essay Submissions, Assignment Status, Student Details, Time Tracking, and Commission History. Every report exports as CSV.
Does it work with my existing LearnDash setup?
Yes. Dashboard for LearnDash installs as a standard WordPress plugin alongside LearnDash. Your existing courses, students, groups, and progress data stay exactly where they are. No migration, no setup wizard, nothing to move.
What happens to my data if I'm switching from ProPanel?
Nothing changes. ProPanel stores its reporting data separately. Dashboard for LearnDash reads from the same LearnDash database tables: your course progress, quiz results, and enrollment records are intact. You can run both plugins simultaneously during your trial period.
Does it work with Uncanny Groups?
Yes. Dashboard for LearnDash includes a dedicated Uncanny Groups module. You can manage group seats, enrollment codes, and group leader assignments directly from the hub without switching to a separate interface.
Does it replace BuddyPress messaging?
No, and by design. The Private Messages tab handles course-aware messaging between students and instructors. BuddyPress handles broader social messaging. They work together, not against each other, and Dashboard for LearnDash includes a BuddyPress integration module.
Can instructors create courses without WordPress admin access?
Yes, completely. Instructors create courses, add lessons, create topics, build quizzes, write quiz questions, and set up certificates entirely from the front-end dashboard. No wp-admin access at any step. This is what makes Dashboard for LearnDash unique: it's not just a reporting or management tool, it's a full course authoring workspace on the front end.
Can instructors manage their courses without WordPress admin access?
Yes. Each instructor sees only their assigned courses, their enrolled students, and their earnings. No wp-admin access required. Everything is managed from the front-end instructor dashboard, including course creation, assignment approval, Zoom meetings, and course announcements.
What's included in every plan?
All plans include the full feature set: student progress dashboard, instructor workspace, certificate downloads, commission tracking, ACF field builder, all six Insights charts, all reports (quiz, essay, assignment, time tracking, commission), groups management, private messaging, bulk management, course cloning, Zoom integration, assignment review, and course announcements. Nothing is gated by plan tier.
What's the difference between annual and lifetime?
Annual gives you 1 year of updates and support. The plugin keeps working after expiry but won't receive new updates until you renew. Lifetime gives you updates and support permanently with a single payment.
Is it actively maintained?
Yes. v7.5.0 shipped with major new features including bulk management, course cloning, time tracking, private messaging, Zoom integration, and the Uncanny Groups module. Updates are released regularly and distributed through the Wbcom store.

Replace your addon stack and save up to $500/year.

One license. Instant download. Works with any WordPress theme.
