We built a WordPress LMS the slow way. Now we need fifty people to break it.

Most LMS plugins measure clicks. RootWright measures memory, and brings each lesson back right before the learner would forget it.

In FreeBuilt-in spaced repetition (the modern FSRS-6 algorithm), a daily Today session with goals and streaks, and a 0-100 memory strength score for every course.

Pro addsConfidence ratings, recall tuned to each course, nightly retention reports, reminder emails answered in one click without logging in, and Today offline.

Learning-science practice is built into the lesson itself, so learners don’t just read along.

In FreeKey concept, Quick check and Pre-question blocks inside any lesson. Misses go into recall, and answers never reach the browser before they should.

Pro addsPredict-then-reveal, explain-it-back, anonymous peer feedback, questions inside videos, and mixed-module challenges.

Learners move through skills, not just a list of lessons, and get a plan that fits their own deadline.

In FreeA skill map with mastery that fades to “needs refresh”, learn-next pins and optional locks until skills are mastered.

Pro addsPlacement tests to skip what a learner already knows, plus study plans across courses that fit each learner’s deadline and minutes a day, rebuilt nightly, with behind-schedule nudges.

Other free LMS plugins give a course one price. RootWright’s free plugin gives it as many as you need.

In FreeOne-time, subscription and payment-plan prices on the same course, each with its own sale price, setup fee and access length, pushed to WooCommerce, EDD, SureCart or FluentCart and kept in sync.

Pro addsThe same price options on native Stripe and PayPal checkout, plus bundles, single-lesson sales and recurring coupons.

Keep the store you already use, or sell with no store plugin at all.

In FreeWooCommerce, EDD, SureCart and FluentCart with two-way sync: products created from the builder, prices, coupons and currency kept in step, and one order list across all stores.

Pro addsNative Stripe and PayPal checkout with subscriptions, instalment plans, bundles, single-lesson sales, sales tax and EU VAT, refunds and a full transaction ledger with automatic webhook retries.

Go from a brief to a full draft course while you watch it being written, with your house style and your budget in charge.

In ProThree lessons written at once and streamed live, outline check-ins, agent mode, course audit, AI covers and AI marking that waits for a human when unsure. Seven providers including WordPress’s own AI, a reusable skill library, and enforced monthly budgets.

Real exam controls plus practice tests that adapt to each learner.

In ProExams as their own lesson type with booked windows, approval, cooldowns and must-pass gates, plus mock exams drawn per learner and broken down by skill, with weak areas fed back into study.

Connect Claude Desktop or any MCP agent straight to your courses.

In ProA built-in MCP server and WordPress Abilities registration, with scoped, revocable tokens. Student data is off by default and no AI key is needed.

Built to stay quick on a small server with no Redis.

In FreeThe fast lane answers the busiest learner requests before WordPress fully loads. The plugin also uses custom indexed tables, a persistent cache that works without Redis, X-Sendfile / X-Accel file delivery and background jobs.
