Section and Lesson Builder: Create different sections and add unlimited lessons with ease. You can also upload featured images and videos. Our WordPress LMS plugin fully supports YouTube, Vimeo, and self-hosted videos.
Effortless Quiz Builder: Quizzes enhance the fun of taking courses plus strengthen the students’ understanding of the topics. With our easy quiz builder, one can create multiple quiz types like True/False, Single Choice, or MultiChoice questions to evaluate the students’ progress through the course.
Sell Courses: Besides creating online courses, selling them should also be as easy as anything else. That’s why we have our own inbuilt order system, so you don’t need to go through the hassle of installing a separate eCommerce plugin to sell your courses. Masteriyo supports both PayPal and offline payment out of the box.
Setup Wizard: Setting up Masteriyo LMS plugin on your WordPress site is just a walk in a park. A minimal learning curve means more time to manage and focus on what you are good at.

We’ve focused on making the learning page as smooth as silk for a better learning experience with Masteriyo powered by React JS. So, the learning page looks excellent in terms of both design and functionality.
Interactive Learning Page Header: The header in the learning page comprises the site logo to return to the homepage of the site, course informative progress bar, and the student account.
Course Progressive Bar: Interactive learning page comes with a dynamic course progressive bar at the top that helps students locate at which step of the course curriculum they are at. It provides students with ideas about the part of the course they’ve completed and the remaining parts that are yet to be completed. This percentage meter also encourages them to complete the course.
Learning Page Course Navigation: You’ll also find a vertical navigation section for courses at the left side of the learning page. It helps you navigate through all the sections, lessons, and quizzes of the course curriculum.
Distraction-Free Learning Page: We strongly believe that students should be able to focus on their courses entirely. And that’s why we have put our utmost effort into making the learning page free of any distractions. The page is independent of your site design and based on React JS for a better learning experience. Additionally, students also get the complete freedom to hide the header and navigation section of the learning page if they want to.
Questions and Answers in Learning Page: Taking courses becomes more fun and effective if students interact better with the instructor and other fellow students. That’s precisely why we have a dedicated section for questions and answers on the learning page.
Students Account Page: Masteriyo LMS comes with a beautiful student account page from where every student can get a quick overview of the courses they have enrolled in or purchased. They can also edit other information related to their account.

This is my first LMS plugin. At the beginning I have more problems, but all of them were solved with the kind costumer service. For me, with a small webshop and with my first online course, it's awesome. Easy to handle, and if I have any question they answer me soon. I recommended it to everybody who need a great LMS with a great support!

UPDATEI’m very happy that following my earlier misgivings, the developer quickly contacted me to issue a refund. The reason for their previous unresponsiveness seems to be due to a technical email account issue, not a refusal to honour the refund guarantee. So users should feel confident in trusting the 14 day guarantee! As the plugin doesn’t yet function as part of a membership site, I have revised my rating from 2 to 4 stars. However, if you do not need the plugin to work as part of a membership site, I would highly recommend it. ORIGINAL It’s a shame to be writing this because up to a point the developers / Masteriyo team were super-helpful and I think the plugin has great potential. I paid for the premium plugin. In it’s current iteration, it does not work alongside a membership plugin as users created outside Masteriyo generate ugly 505 errors when trying to sign up or sign in for courses. In fairness tech support have said they will address it. However, it doesn’t currently work for me, so I requested a refund under the ‘14 day no questions asked’ guarantee. This is where I’ve been let down - despite a couple of emails to the Masteriyo admin team, I’ve received no response re money back. I’ve now had to block the transaction on my credit card. Not sure if this is ineffective administration or a deliberately misleading guarantee sales pitch.Anyway, for now be aware if you plan to use this plugin to sell courses as part of a membership site (with a separate membership plugin) and that it might not be straightforward to get a refund.

I'm going to start by saying that this plugin has the potential of becoming one of the best WP LMS systems, if the dev team continues to listen to user feedback and continues to invest time in this project.Currently, they are on the right path as they are offering great support and nice features with only some minor annoyances that I'll describe below. First of all, most of the issues you'll encounter using this plugin are typical to any piece of software that's new on the market, meaning that it lacks maturity.Sometimes you'll want to do a certain basic thing, and you'll notice that the feature isn't there, or it's only half-baked.Fore example, here are some of the top missing features in my opinion: Ability to sort courses sitewide. They are currently offering only some very limited code snippets. Simple Course Stats in the admin area. Teachers need to know how their courses are doing (how many students have enrolled and how many have completed the course). Option in the plugin settings to limit Reviews only to students that have completed the respective course. Right now, everyone can post reviews everywhere. Option to disable right click and content copy on the course page. If they add these, we'll all going to have a winner LMS.Best of luck!

Flexible and well-designed plugin. The Masteriyo-team is really helpful when contacted and the support is great.

Henrique February 12, 2023

Masteriyo brings back joy in building courses. Unlike other traditional LMS platforms, it has a simple and intuitive UI that makes it impossible not create something in minutes. It still lacks some features, but considering how far it has come in a short time and how their team is listening to our suggestions, I believe it has a bright future ahead!
