What's new

New & improved

• Course pages now use your theme’s fonts. The plugin no longer forces its own font family on the frontend, so changing fonts in your theme or global styles takes effect everywhere.

Fixes

• The course builder now sends the course along with content drip requests, so drip rules can be set on a lesson while it is still being created.

New & improved

• Bundle cards now show the owner’s avatar, linked to their instructor profile, matching course cards.
• Leaderboard and points widgets now use your theme’s fonts instead of forcing their own.

Fixes

• Instructors can set content drip rules on their own courses again. The permission check only recognised co-instructors, so the course author was refused.
• Content drip rules can now be set on a lesson while it is being created, before it has been added to a section.

First release of CourseGlade Pro — all 12 addons, included in every plan. See free vs Pro for the full breakdown.

Security

• Restricted the enrollment REST endpoints to administrators (they were reachable with an instructor-level capability).
• Escaped instructor-application data returned by the REST API.
• Closed several per-course ownership gaps and stopped quiz endpoints from exposing answer keys.
• Added login throttling; the instructor user-picker now searches by name only and no longer exposes emails.

New & improved

• Course cards show the instructor’s avatar, linked to their public profile.
• Maintenance mode now also covers the course archive and category/tag/difficulty pages, with a new filter to adjust its scope.
• Real avatars now appear in quiz grading, submissions, and order details.

Fixes

• Scheduled tasks (cache cleanup, stale-order cancellation, enrollment expiry, stats refresh) now run reliably on cron.
• Order and withdrawal status transitions are atomic, preventing duplicate processing.
• Blocked creating a duplicate order while one is still pending for the same course.
• Numerous settings, learning-mode, and responsive-layout fixes.

Performance

• Removed N+1 queries from the instructor and order lists and batched dashboard revenue calculations.
• Per-order options are no longer autoloaded on every request.

First public release of CourseGlade — the complete WordPress LMS with courses, quizzes, multi-instructor support, and built-in payments. See the features page for everything included.
