<p><strong>Xtreme Courses</strong> is a complete <strong>learning management system (LMS) plugin</strong> for WordPress. Build structured online courses in a React drag-and-drop builder, sell them through WooCommerce, schedule drip content, run auto-graded quizzes, issue verifiable PDF certificates, and keep students engaged with XP, badges, and leaderboards — all from your own WordPress site.</p>
<p><strong>No upsells. No locked features.</strong> There is no “Pro” version of Xtreme Courses — every feature listed on this page ships in the free download and is fully functional out of the box. No upgrade nags, no feature gates, no artificial limits on courses, students, or enrollments.</p>

<h4>Why Xtreme Courses?</h4>
<p>If you’ve evaluated the established LMS plugins (LearnDash, LifterLMS, Tutor LMS, LearnPress, Sensei) you already know the pattern: the features you actually need to run a paid course business — certificates, drip scheduling, quizzes, e-commerce checkout, reporting — are spread across paid tiers and per-feature add-ons. Xtreme Courses is built differently:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>The whole stack is free.</strong> Course builder, WooCommerce selling, drip content, quiz engine, PDF certificates, gamification, live lessons, reviews, analytics — nothing is held back for a paid tier.</li>
<li><strong>Commerce-ready from day one.</strong> Native WooCommerce integration: one-time purchases, free enrollments, subscription-gated content, bundles, bulk enrollment coupons, and gift enrollment.</li>
<li><strong>Modern WordPress stack.</strong> PHP 8.2+ with strict types, a React drag-and-drop course builder, custom REST API, Action Scheduler background jobs, and full uninstall cleanup.</li>
<li><strong>Self-hosted and private by default.</strong> No telemetry, no external service calls unless you explicitly configure live Zoom lessons (disclosed below). Your course content and student data stay on your server.</li>
<li><strong>WordPress.org-compliant.</strong> Fully GPL, no obfuscated code, every external-service touchpoint disclosed on this page.</li>
</ul>
<p>A free alternative to <strong>LearnDash</strong>, <strong>LifterLMS</strong>, <strong>Tutor LMS</strong>, <strong>LearnPress</strong>, and <strong>Sensei</strong> for course creators who want the complete LMS feature set without per-feature pricing.</p>
<p><strong>Core Features (Free):</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>React Drag-and-Drop Course Builder</strong> — Build structured courses with sections, lessons (video, text, PDF, audio), and quizzes using a visual drag-and-drop interface.</li>
<li><strong>WooCommerce Integration</strong> — Sell courses as one-time purchases, free enrollments, or subscription-gated content. Supports bulk enrollment coupons and gift enrollment.</li>
<li><strong>Drip Content Scheduling</strong> — Release lessons on a fixed date, X days after enrollment, or after completing the previous lesson. Visual Gantt-style drip timeline.</li>
<li><strong>Quiz Engine</strong> — Multiple choice, true/false, and fill-in-the-blank questions with timed mode, pass thresholds, retake limits, and auto-grading.</li>
<li><strong>PDF Certificate Generator</strong> — Auto-generate personalized certificates on course completion with a public verification URL.</li>
<li><strong>Student Dashboard</strong> — Tabbed dashboard showing enrolled courses, progress rings, certificates, achievements, and order history.</li>
<li><strong>Instructor Role & Dashboard</strong> — Dedicated <code>xc_instructor</code> role with scoped access to own courses, student roster, and earnings.</li>
<li><strong>Gamification</strong> — XP points, badges with trigger conditions, and a leaderboard Gutenberg block/shortcode.</li>
<li><strong>Live Lessons</strong> — Zoom SDK embed and Google Meet pre-join cards with calendar reminder emails (.ics attachment).</li>
<li><strong>Analytics Dashboard</strong> — Chart.js-powered admin panel with enrollment trends, lesson funnel, quiz performance, revenue, active students, and certificate issuance rate.</li>
<li><strong>Course Reviews & Ratings</strong> — Star ratings and written reviews with moderation, instructor replies, and aggregate display.</li>
<li><strong>Course Bundles & Prerequisites</strong> — Bundle multiple courses into a single WooCommerce product and enforce prerequisite completion.</li>
<li><strong>Mobile Lesson Player</strong> — Distraction-free, full-viewport lesson player with progress persistence.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Technical Highlights:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>PHP 8.2+ with strict types</li>
<li>Custom REST API namespace <code>/xtreme-courses/v1/</code></li>
<li>Custom database tables with proper indexes</li>
<li>Action Scheduler for all background jobs</li>
<li>Transient-based caching for leaderboard and progress queries</li>
<li>Full nonce verification on all AJAX/REST write endpoints</li>
<li>Input sanitization and output escaping throughout</li>
<li>Complete uninstall routine (tables, options, uploaded files)</li>
</ul>
<h3>Bundled libraries</h3>
<p>This plugin bundles <strong>Chart.js v4.5.1</strong> (MIT, Copyright 2014-2025 Chart.js Contributors) for the Analytics admin panel. The script is served from the plugin folder at <code>assets/js/vendor/chart.umd.min.js</code> — no third-party CDN is contacted.</p>
<h3>External services</h3>
<p>This plugin can connect to one third-party service. It is <strong>opt-in</strong> — it is only contacted when an admin or instructor explicitly creates a live lesson and a student attends it. The default install of the plugin does not contact any external service.</p>
<h4>Zoom Meeting SDK (optional, used for live lessons)</h4>
<p>If an admin or instructor creates a live lesson and pastes a Zoom meeting URL into the lesson, then when a student opens that lesson the plugin will:</p>
<ul>
<li>Render an embedded Zoom client by enqueueing the Zoom Meeting SDK JavaScript directly from <code>https://source.zoom.us/zoom-meeting-3.1.2.min.js</code> on that lesson page only.</li>
<li>The Zoom SDK then connects to Zoom’s own infrastructure to join the meeting. The plugin itself does not send any data to Zoom from your server — all communication happens between the student’s browser and Zoom.</li>
</ul>
<p>If you do not use the live-lesson feature (no live lesson with a Zoom URL is ever created), the Zoom SDK is never loaded and Zoom is never contacted.</p>

ComMotion

<p>There are many booking systems on the market. The booking systems often have many advantages. However, one disadvantage that should not be underestimated is that many booking systems are so general that they do not address special features and individual needs of you. At ComMotion we have developed an individual course and online booking system that takes into account the special features of your company.</p>
<p>Our individual course and online booking system already comes with a lot of things, such as the online purchase of single tickets or 10-tickets with different payment methods, the display of a timetable and the offer of a video library. We will be happy to implement any further requests together with you, so that in the end you will receive exactly THE booking system that you need. The following features are included in our course and online booking system:</p>
<h4>Integration</h4>
<p>The system fully supports WooCommerce. Part of the booking system is a powerful online shop that leaves nothing to be desired. You can sell everything from single cards to mixed cards of 10 to subscriptions.</p>
<h4>Attendance indicator</h4>
<p>Every course or appointment has a current utilization indicator. This gives you full control over all appointments.</p>
<h4>Customer account</h4>
<p>Each customer receives individual access. This means that he has an overview of all appointments and bookings and can make purchases in the online shop.</p>
<h4>Permanent appointments and subscriptions</h4>
<p>You can enter permanent appointments (subscription or permanent place) for certain customers and thus reward your regular customers.</p>
<h4>Opening times and timetable</h4>
<p>The system fully supports WooCommerce. Part of the booking system is a powerful online shop that leaves nothing to be desired. You can sell everything from single cards to mixed cards of 10 to subscriptions.</p>
<h4>Evaluations</h4>

With a booking system that is perfectly tailored to you, you and your entire team not only save more time because the administrative effort is lower, but you also give your customers an extremely professional impression.

Through the online shop, which we can integrate into your website in addition to the booking system, you will sell your products, cards and offers online in the future – 24 hours a day.</p>
<p>A nice side effect: thanks to the optional status display, customers can see whether places are still available and can register for appointments at short notice. This ensures that your courses and appointments are fully utilized.</p>
