<h4>Core Fix</h4>
<p>If a student buys a Course Extension product <strong>before</strong> their current access has expired, LearnDash does not extend the access correctly — it either resets or ignores it. This plugin intercepts the order and adds the extension days on top of the existing expiry.</p>
<p><strong>Example:</strong> Student has 30 days left <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> buys 90-day extension <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> gets 30 + 90 = 120 more days. ✅</p>
<h4>Students Dashboard</h4>
<p>A new <strong>Students</strong> tab under WooCommerce <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Course Access Extender lets you:</p>
<ul>
<li>View all enrolled students with their course, expiry date, days remaining, and status (Active / Expired).</li>
<li>Filter by course, status (active/expired), expiry window, enrollment date range, or search by name/email.</li>
<li>Sort by student name or expiry date.</li>
<li><strong>Adjust any student’s expiry date</strong> directly from the table with a date picker.</li>
<li><strong>View a student’s full purchase history</strong> in a modal — showing all course-related orders with dates, products, quantities, totals, and order status.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Activity Log</h4>
<p>A full audit trail of every access grant, extension, admin adjustment, and profile change with filters for course, action type, keyword search, and date range.</p>
