Frequently asked questions

Yes. CourseGlade works with any properly coded WordPress theme, including block themes. Course pages, dashboards, and checkout render through templates and shortcodes that adapt to your theme styles.

No. CourseGlade ships its own checkout with Stripe, manual/offline payments, and free enrollment built in. WooCommerce is supported as an optional gateway if you already run a store.

Yes. Courses, sections, lessons, 8 quiz question types, multi-instructor with commissions, payments, coupons, reviews, Q&A, and dashboards are all in the free plugin. Pro adds 15 addons, AI Studio, and Import & Export on top — it never removes anything from free.

WordPress 6.4 or later and PHP 7.4 or later. CourseGlade is tested up to the latest WordPress release.

Stripe (cards, wallets via Stripe Checkout), WooCommerce (any WooCommerce gateway), manual/offline payments such as bank transfer, and free enrollment for zero-price courses.

Yes. Percentage and fixed-amount coupons are built into the free plugin, with usage tracking per order.

You set a commission rate per instructor. Sales accrue to an earnings ledger with a configurable maturity period, and instructors request withdrawals from their dashboard, which you approve.

With the Course Bundles addon in Pro. A bundle sells at one combined price and enrolls the buyer in every course inside it.

All 15 addons: Certificates, Assignments, Content Drip, Course Bundles, Subscriptions & Memberships, Leaderboard & Gamification, Gradebook, Advanced Email, White Label, Advanced Reports, Enrollment, Social Login, Zoom, Google Meet, and Google Classroom — plus AI Studio and Import & Export. Every plan includes every addon.

Yes — a 14-day, no-questions-asked money-back guarantee on all Pro plans.

Yes. Every Pro addon has its own toggle in the Addons screen, so you only load what you use.

Activate your license key under CourseGlade → License after purchase. It unlocks updates and priority support for the number of sites on your plan — renew it to keep receiving updates, or let it lapse and keep using the version you already installed.

No paid plan is required to host live sessions. Cloud recording is Zoom-only and needs a Zoom plan that includes cloud recording — Google Meet sessions have no recording option at all, since Meet stores to Workspace Drive, which CourseGlade doesn’t support.

AI Studio is bring-your-own API key — you connect your own key and pay the provider directly. CourseGlade tracks usage per person with a monthly spending cap and rate limiting, so you stay in control of cost.

Yes. Both plugins ship translation templates and load text domains, so you can translate with Loco Translate, WPML, or any standard tool.

CourseGlade loads its assets only on LMS pages, uses custom database tables with proper indexes for enrollments and progress, and includes its own caching layer.

By default your data stays. A deliberate opt-in setting controls whether uninstall removes tables and options — nothing is deleted by surprise.

CourseGlade keeps all data in your own WordPress database and never phones home. Data only leaves your site through services you explicitly connect, such as Stripe or a Pro live-class provider. Use WordPress’s built-in personal-data export and erasure tools for subject requests.
