Settings Overview
The Settings page is where you configure every aspect of how Learnomy behaves on your site. It lives under Learnomy Settings in the WordPress admin sidebar.
Overview
Go to Learnomy Settings in the sidebar. The settings page opens with a left-hand navigation panel organized into four groups: General, Commerce, Communication, and Content, plus an Advanced group. Clicking a section label scrolls you to that section without reloading the page.

The sidebar only shows sections for modules that are enabled on your site. For example, the Payments, Instructors, and Commissions sections disappear if the corresponding modules are turned off on the Modules page.
General
Go to Learnomy Settings and click General in the sidebar.

Course Setup card
| Setting |
What it does |
| Container Width |
Sets the maximum width of the Learnomy content area on the frontend. Options are 960 px, 1100 px, 1200 px, 1400 px, or Full Width. |
| Enrollment Mode |
Open lets anyone enroll. Approval requires an admin to approve each enrollment request. |
| Completion Rules |
Strict means students must meet every rule (watch time, video percentage, scroll, quiz) before marking a lesson complete. Advisory shows the rules but lets students mark complete at any time. Off removes rules entirely. Admins and a course's own instructor always bypass this setting. |
Currency and Payments card
Set the default currency for course pricing and all transactions. Changing this only affects how amounts are formatted and stored going forward; it does not convert existing transactions.
Getting Started Guide card
If you previously dismissed the onboarding checklist on the Learnomy dashboard, click Show the guide again to bring it back.
Setup Wizard card
Click Open setup wizard to re-run the onboarding flow with your current settings pre-filled. Use Reset demo data to delete all demo content (tagged lrn_demo_*) and recreate it from scratch. Only demo data is affected.
Pages
Go to Learnomy Settings and click Pages in the sidebar.

URL Slugs card
These fields let you localize or rename the URL segments for all Learnomy pages. For example, a German site might use kurse instead of courses. Leave any field blank to keep the default.
| Field |
Default |
Example URL |
| Course URL Base |
courses |
/courses/ |
| Lesson URL Segment |

| My Spaces URL |
my-spaces |
/my-spaces/ (Pro Spaces required) |
| Enroll URL Base |
enroll |
/enroll/ |
| Account URL Base |
account |
/account/ |
Saving any slug change automatically refreshes your WordPress permalink rules.
Frontend Pages card
A read-only table listing every Learnomy page on your site, its URL, whether login is required, and a View link for static pages.
Theme Override card
To customize any Learnomy template, copy it from the plugin's templates/ folder into your-theme/learnomy/ and edit from there. The path is displayed on screen so you know exactly where to place the file.
Labels
Go to Learnomy Settings and click Labels in the sidebar.

Rename core content types across your whole site without writing any code. Each entity has a singular and a plural field. Leave either blank to keep the default. To translate labels into another language, use a .po translation file instead of this panel.
Layouts
Go to Learnomy Settings and click Layouts in the sidebar.

Pick the structural layout for each page type: the course catalog, single course page, lesson player, course quiz, and standalone quiz. Switching a layout never changes the page URL.
Payments
Go to Learnomy Settings and click Payments in the sidebar. This section only appears when the Payments module is active.

Stripe card
Enable or disable Stripe, toggle between Test and Live mode, and enter your keys. Secret keys and webhook signing secrets are write-only fields: once saved, they show a "Saved" badge and the field stays blank for security. Paste your Stripe webhook URL into Stripe Dashboard under Developers > Webhooks > Add endpoint. The required events are checkout.session.completed, invoice.payment_succeeded, and customer.subscription.deleted.

PayPal card
Same pattern as Stripe: enable, choose Sandbox or Live mode, enter Client ID, Secret, and Webhook ID. The Webhook ID is found in PayPal Developer Dashboard under your app > Webhooks, and is required for signature verification.

Checkout card
| Setting |
What it does |
| Business Name |
Appears on receipt PDFs and invoice emails. Defaults to your site name. |
| Money-Back Guarantee |
Number of days for your refund guarantee. Set to 0 to disable. Shown on course sales pages and at checkout. |
| Refund Policy |
Plain text shown at checkout and on receipt PDFs. |
Test Gateway card
A development-only adapter that completes every checkout without hitting any external service. Turn this off before going live. When enabled, paid courses show a "Test Gateway" option alongside Stripe and PayPal.
Membership Page
Go to Learnomy Settings and click Membership Page in the sidebar.

Control the headline, subtitle, and FAQ shown on the public membership pricing page at /membership/. You can also toggle the FAQ section and the gifting widgets on or off. The gifting widgets require Learnomy Pro.
Instructors
Go to Learnomy Settings and click Instructors in the sidebar. This section only appears when the Commissions module is active.

| Setting |
What it does |
| Self-Publish Courses |
When enabled, instructors can publish courses without admin approval. When off, courses go to pending review. |
| Multi-Instructor |
Allows multiple instructors to be assigned to a single course with a configurable revenue share per instructor. |
Commissions
Go to Learnomy Settings and click Commissions in the sidebar. This section only appears when the Commissions module is active.

Commission Rules card
| Setting |
What it does |
| Platform Commission (%) |
The percentage the platform keeps from each sale. The instructor receives the remainder. Default is 30. |
| Payout Period |
How often commissions are grouped for payout: Monthly, Bi-weekly, or Weekly. |
Payment Processing Fee card
When Deduct fee is on, the gateway fee is taken off the sale amount before the commission split, so both platform and instructor share the processing cost. Set the percentage fee (typically 2.9%) and the fixed per-sale amount (typically 0.30). The Tax in base toggle controls whether gateway-collected tax is included in the commission base.
Withdrawals card
| Setting |
What it does |
| Minimum Withdrawal |
Instructors must accumulate at least this amount before requesting a payout. |
| Payout Methods |
Enable PayPal and/or Bank Transfer as payout options for instructors. |
Emails
Go to Learnomy Settings and click Emails in the sidebar. This section only appears when the Notifications module is active.

Turn individual notification types on or off. The following notifications are available:
- Enrollment Welcome
- Course Completed
- Certificate Issued
- Quiz Graded
- Instructor Application Approved / Rejected
- Withdrawal Approved
- Membership Created / Cancelled / Renewed / Expired
- Trial Ending Reminder
- New Course Review

All notifications default to on. Unchecking a type stops that email from being sent.

The Tools card provides two buttons: Send Test Email dispatches a test notification to the admin email address, and Flush Rewrite Rules regenerates WordPress permalink rules without requiring a visit to Settings > Permalinks.

License
Pro feature. Requires Learnomy Pro.
Go to Learnomy Settings and click License in the sidebar.
Enter your Learnomy Pro license key here to activate automatic updates and support. Once saved, the panel shows the license status, the site domain it is registered against, and the expiry date.
Tips
- Settings are stored as a single WordPress option (
learnomy_settings). All sections share one Save Changes button per section. Saving one section does not overwrite other sections.
- Sidebar sections whose module is disabled still exist in the page HTML so that deep-linked URLs continue to work, but they are hidden from the navigation.
- The API Keys section is not visible by default. It becomes available in a future release when the REST key management endpoints ship.
- Pro-only settings sections (Bridges, License) appear in the sidebar only when Learnomy Pro is active.
