Three New Starter Templates for LearnDash Course Creators

We’re excited to announce three new course templates for LearnDash course creators: the Writing Course, Fitness Course, and Sewing Course starter templates. All three templates can be found in the Kadence Starter Template plugin, freely available in the WordPress repository. 

Coupled with our other learning management system starter templates, there are now 14 WordPress starter templates available for course creators looking to ensure site speed and accessibility coupled with gorgeous designs. 

Kadence is focused on course creators

The web has changed the face of education and not just for academic educational programs. Businesses have increased their use of learning management systems for onboarding, online training opportunities, and to improve connections with customers. As well, many experts in fields as diverse as fitness, sewing, writing to coding and design have found a market in selling their expertise to a hungry audience. A 2019 survey conducted by Course Method, 43% of coaching professionals reported that they’re adding additional revenue streams to their business through online courses. 

We believe that LearnDash on WordPress is the foundational best way to get started selling courses online. Not only are you building your empire on an open-source WordPress platform that you own and can customize, you’re using the best-in-class Learning Management System to do so. Kadence is committed to helping course creators develop a platform that allows them to grow and scale, and to do so by creating high quality, accessible, and fast-loading course pages that best serve online learners. 

Kadence starter templates are the easy way to get started

All Kadence starter templates are customizable with both your own imagery and color palettes, and Kadence guides you the entire way through the process. Or, you can keep the elements in the starter templates and build your site using the royalty free images Kadence Starter Templates provides for you.

Getting started with Kadence’s LearnDash Starter Templates

Getting started with the LearnDash starter templates is easy. First, make sure you’ve got LearnDash and any other plugins that are required for these starter templates installed. 

Once you’ve installed and activated the Kadence Theme, navigate to Appearance > Kadence in your WordPress administrative dashboard.

From the Kadence menu, navigate to the Starter Templates tab.

If you’re totally new to Starter Templates, click the Activate Starter Templates button. We’ll handle installing the Kadence Starter Templates plugin.

You’ll see the library of Starter Templates now available on this page.

If you already have Kadence Starter Templates active, be sure to click the Refresh icon at the top of the Kadence > Starter Templates tab.

Customize the look and feel of your starter template by choosing the color scheme and fonts to meet your brand’s requirements.

Each of the LearnDash starter templates will install Kadence Blocks plugin necessary for the starter template to function. Your site will also require two LearnDash plugins:

• LearnDash
• LearnDash Course Grid Addon

You can select a Single Page or the Full Site (only recommended for fresh WordPress installs).

Please Note: Full site importing is intended for new/empty sites with no content. Your site customizer settings, widgets, menus will all be overridden when you import a full site Kadence Starter Template.
