Where to Find LearnDash Training, Tutorials and Documentation
October 11, 2017 /0 Comments/in Best Practices, LearnDash /by Ryan
Building a robust and polished LearnDash site can be quite difficult. We've been doing it for over 4 years now and we're still discovering new and better ways to build sites. We definitely have an edge with a team of skilled developers and LearnDash experts at our disposal, but we're all too aware of some of the challenges faced by for new WordPress users and even experienced developers.
This article came about because we still get countless inquiries from people who recognize that LearnDash is a powerful tool that can probably help them—but that's really as much as they know. They don't know how to get started and don't know where to turn to find more information, guidance, and support. We unfortunately find, time and again, that people simply aren't aware of some of the great LearnDash resources (including tutorials, screencasts and documentation) that are available. We're hoping that this article saves those users some confusion and frustration.
Start with the Source
The LearnDash Support Site is an invaluable resource that not all LearnDash users seem to know about. If you haven't bought a license yet, you might not even know it exists! It's easily as valuable as the plugin itself though. There are countless screencasts, Knowledge Base articles, FAQs, and more. Perhaps the most valuable tools are the forums (which are very active and full of useful information to solve common LearnDash problems and share best practices) and access to the LearnDash support team, who we routinely see go out of their way to help LearnDash customers.
Go to the Experts
Outside of the LearnDash support site there are still lots of great resources. On YouTube there are hundreds of videos from many different authors (including ours; our popular How to Make a LearnDash Site video has helped thousands of LearnDash users). Agencies and developers that work with LearnDash often have great tutorials and articles covering best practices (the LearnDash blog, this blog, WisdmLabs, and others are examples), though it can sometimes be difficult to find the right articles among so much information. Google can be your friend to narrow things down to specific subjects.
The LearnDash Facebook group is very active and has hundreds of members ready to jump in and provide advice on everything from the basics to complex code solutions. You'll even find some of the Uncanny Owl team on there!
There is also our introductory LearnDash course for our Uncanny LP hosted LearnDash platform. Although it is targeted at a modified WordPress platform, it does still cover all of the WordPress and LearnDash basics someone would need to get started—it just demonstrates everything with a streamlined interface that could be confusing if you're not using LP. It is free and anyone is welcome to use it, or you can skip the course and jump right into the hours of useful LearnDash useful LearnDash screencasts.
LearnDash can seem overwhelming at first, but there really are many helpful resources available and a large community of users eager to help.
