  1. Is your WordPress LMS working against you?
  2. The problems: students sent into wp-admin to take a lesson; the site slows down as enrolments grow; a theme update breaks the lesson page; students forget it by next week.
  3. So we rebuilt it from the root: RootWright LMS.
  4. Students get their own app. No wp-admin, no theme surprises. (Free)
  5. Student data gets its own tables, indexed for the queries an LMS runs. (Free)
  6. Build a lesson once and reuse it in any course. (Free)
  7. Checkpoints inside the lesson, quizzes after it, every attempt saved. (Free)
  8. Spaced recall brings students back before they forget. (Free)
  9. Drip lessons on a schedule: by date, days after enrolment, sequence or prerequisite. (Pro)
  10. Take payments: Stripe and PayPal checkout, with sales tax and EU VAT. We take 0%. (Pro)
  11. Video with a moving watermark, on Bunny or Cloudflare Stream; leaked copies carry the viewer’s email. (Pro)
  12. 0% platform fee on every plan. Every Pro feature in every plan. Built by a WordPress core contributor (5.9, 6.0, 6.1).
  13. Private beta, round 1: 50 seats. Every Pro feature free while you test, plus a founding deal when it ends.

Where we started

Built around three complaints.

We read the reviews and built those parts first.

The complaint: Students sent into wp-admin

Students get their own app

Lessons run in a separate app that doesn’t depend on your theme.

The complaint: Sites slow down as enrolments grow

Student data gets its own tables

One table per job, indexed for the queries an LMS runs.

The complaint: Every request waits for all of WordPress

A fast lane for busy requests

The requests students make most are answered before the rest of WordPress loads.

About us

Questions

Quick answers

Is RootWright LMS free?

Yes. The free plugin is heading to WordPress.org and includes the course builder, the student app, dedicated tables, lessons with quizzes and checkpoints, spaced recall, the skill map, course reviews, SMTP support and the REST API. Pro adds drip, exams, study plans, AI course building, native checkout with sales tax and EU VAT, and video hosting with a viewer watermark.

Can I use the beta on a live site?

You can, but we’d suggest a staging site or a fresh site for your first course. It’s beta software, so back up first and don’t move your only paying course on day one.

Do I have to leave a review?

No. Your perks depend on feedback you send to us, never on public ratings. Reviews on WordPress.org are entirely your choice.

Will testing cost me anything?

RootWright costs nothing during the beta. Some Pro features use outside services: Bunny.net or Cloudflare Stream for video, and Stripe or PayPal for payments. Their test modes and sandboxes are free.

Is the 50-seat limit real?

Yes. About fifty is the most we can support while reading every report and replying properly. When round 1 is full, the form turns into a waitlist for round 2.

What if I’m not picked?

You go on the waitlist for round 2, and you can use the free plugin as soon as it’s on WordPress.org. We delete declined applications after [6 months] unless you ask us to keep you on the list.
