LearnDash Course Reviews

Description

The Course Reviews addon adds a star rating and comment system within LearnDash course pages, displaying the average score and student testimonials directly below the content. Each enrolled student can publish their review after accessing the course, and the instructor moderates submissions through the admin dashboard before they appear publicly.

Key Features

• Star ratings
  Allows students to assign one- to five-star ratings to each completed or ongoing course.
• Written comments
  Enables a written testimonial field alongside the rating, with a review title and body.
• Admin moderation
  Submissions remain pending until manually approved by the instructor or administrator through the dashboard.
• Automatic display on pages
  Shows the overall average and review list directly in the course template, without manual configuration.
• Restriction to enrolled students
  Only users enrolled in the course can leave a review, preventing comments from outside visitors.

Course Reviews Benefits

• Social proof in the catalog
  Displaying real ratings increases visitor confidence when choosing a paid course.
• Direct student feedback
  The instructor receives insights on content and teaching methods to improve future classes and materials.
• Higher enrollment conversion
  Pages with visible testimonials tend to convert more visitors into paying students.
• Guaranteed editorial control
  Prior moderation prevents offensive or irrelevant comments from appearing publicly on the website.

Who Is It For?

• Online schools and virtual academies that operate paid catalogs in LearnDash.
• Independent instructors who want to collect testimonials to validate their courses’ reputation.
• Corporate training platforms that need to measure employees’ perception of each piece of content.

Recommended for digital course managers who treat student opinions as a quality metric, Course Reviews combines structured collection, centralized moderation, and public display of reviews within the LearnDash workflow itself. The result is a more complete course page, with credibility indicators that help visitors make their purchase decision with greater confidence.
