Was andere über LifterLMS sagen

„I’ve used many LMS platforms over the years. And they were all fine… right up to the day when they weren’t. The trouble is, they all want you to package and manage your course the way THEY think you should do it. THEIR feature set. THEIR way to do it. Now I host all my courses on LifterLMS. TOTALLY different experience. I’m free to do things MY way. I’ve never yet hit a wall where LifterLMS didn’t enable me to do things the way I wanted. Love it! Great support and community too.“

Nick Usborne, Lehrer, Unternehmer

„As a former School Teacher, professional User Experience Designer, and current online course creator – I can honestly attribute much of our success to LifterLMS and it’s consideration for multiple learning modalities, the LMS UI/UX out of the box, and natural student Engagement opportunities. In less than 10 months we’ve gone from $0 to $300K in revenue with LifterLMS playing a huge part in that!!“

FAQ

Wo kann ich Add-ons oder Pakete für meine LifterLMS eLearning-Website kaufen?

Du kannst die einzelnen Lernmanagementsystem-Add-ons hier erkunden oder mit einem Pakete KRÄFTIG sparen

Wie kann ich Probleme mit meiner LMS-Website beheben?

Stelle zunächst sicher, dass du die neueste Version von LifterLMS verwendest. Und wenn du andere LifterLMS-Plugins auf deiner Website aktiv hast, stelle sicher, dass diese auch die aktuellste Version verwenden.

Die häufigsten Probleme, die wir sehen, sind entweder Plugin-Konflikte, Theme-Konflikte oder veraltete Server. Du kannst testen, ob ein Plugin oder ein Theme in Konflikt steht, indem du andere Plugins manuell deaktivierst, bis nur noch LifterLMS auf deiner Seite läuft. Wenn das Problem weiterhin besteht, wechsele zum Standard-Theme Twenty Fifteen zurück. Wenn das Problem nach der Deaktivierung eines bestimmten Plugins oder deines Themes gelöst ist, weißt du, dass dies die Quelle des Konflikts ist. Wenn es sich um ein Hosting-Problem handelt, wende dich an deinen Webhoster und vergewissere dich, dass er die aktuellste PHP-Version einsetzt.

Besuche auch die offizielle LifterLMS-Wissensdatenbank.

Wie kann ich eine Frage zu meiner Online-Kurs-Website stellen?

Users of the free LifterLMS should post their questions here in our WordPress.org support area. If you find you’re not getting support in as timely a fashion as you wish, you might want to consider purchasing a product from LifterLMS so you can access the LifterLMS support team.

If you’re already a LifterLMS customer, you can simply log into your account and contact the support team directly on the LifterLMS website. We can provide a deeper level of support in there and address your needs on a daily basis during the work week.

Rezensionen

9. Januar 2026
I am extremely impressed with the support provided by Lifter. The weekly opportunity to chat live with Kurt, Emily, and other users is immensely helpful. They listen well and offer workable solutions. The support team not on the calls is exceptionally responsive and results oriented. In a world filled with chatbots and tons of AI, Lifter provides real people who actually listen and support.

LifterLMS is an excellent product which provides its base product free. With this, there is enough to get your organization up and running with e-learning. The support is great, I highly recommend attending the weekly „Ask Us Anything“ interactive webinar hosted by Kurt and Emily on Thursdays. As well for $1 you can go into one of their websites which includes all products and sample data for 30 days. This is one of the best try before you buy’s I have seen. No risk, no scam. Their documentation and courses are first rate. There is a lot there, so start eating the elephant one bite at a time. One thing I wish they had is real time proctoring. We are current working with Speed.Exam to interface that.

LifterLMS is a versatile and flexible LMS plugin that works great with the Divi Builder. I’ve been able to create clean, custom course designs without any limitations. If you want an easy-to-use and adaptable LMS for WordPress, my opinion is that LifterLMS is an excellent choice. And the support is great as well!

I’ve been using LifterLMS for a while, and honestly, I think it’s a fantastic system: clear course structure well-designed membership features solid integrations with payment providers However, there’s one major issue that makes it difficult (or impossible) to use LifterLMS in a GDPR-compliant way within the EU. When someone signs up for a free course or free plan, no email verification is required.This means: Anyone can register with a fake or disposable email address – ban in any email marketing is guaranteed. Even worse, it’s possible to enter someone else’s email address, and that person will automatically get access to the course – without giving consent. That’s a clear violation of GDPR principles, since personal data (like an email address) must not be processed without explicit permission. As a result, LifterLMS in its current state is not GDPR-compliant when offering free courses, lead magnets, or free trials. In practice, this means it can only be safely used for paid courses, which is a real pity – especially because free entry-level content is such an important part of modern online learning. I’d really like to see the LifterLMS team address this by: adding mandatory email verification (even for free courses), and including a clear note about this issue in the documentation. That would be a big step toward true GDPR compliance.

I had a question about how to add a buy button to my course description. Chris responded to my email question quickly. As it turns out with just a little bit of effort on my part, the LifterLMS was understandable enough for me to figure out my mistake on my own. Thank-you Chris for the email.
