Features of the Free Version

Uncanny Toolkit is a plugin for LearnDash that adds some interesting features to your learning site.

First, you’ll be able to replace your CMS’s default login form with a modern, intuitive login form. Of course, you can add it to any brand page. Depending on your preferences, you can enable user verification so that registrations are approved by the administrator. Additionally, the plugin allows you to hide the WordPress admin bar for specific user roles.

Second, the Uncanny Toolkit allows users to pick up where they left off in their LearnDash course. To do so, they simply need to click a single button. Note that the login and logout redirection feature is also available. It allows you to redirect users to a specific URL whenever they want to access courses or when they’ve finished their session.

Third, depending on whether a user is logged in or not, you can control the visibility of menu items and use shortcodes to show or hide content. Additionally, if you’re frustrated that logged-in users can see the login links, you can add links to menus, pages, or widgets using a shortcode.

The Uncanny Toolkit plugin helps you view your courses and the rest of your site from the perspective of a specific user. With this plugin, there’s no need to enter a password. This highly compatible extension automatically takes you to the next step when the user clicks the “Click here to continue” button.

Uncanny Toolkit includes a wide range of features in its free version. Among these is the option to redirect non-registered users. As the name suggests, this feature redirects readers to a specific URL when they are not enrolled in a course. The extension uses a shortcode to display a list of all certificates earned by a user. This is a useful feature for getting an overview of a user’s progress on the LearnDash platform.

Finally, Uncanny makes it easy to identify which LearnDash group a user belongs to via their profile page.

Pro Version Features

For those who want to take advantage of advanced features, there’s the Pro version of the Uncanny Toolkit. Of course, this version offers additional options that help create an exceptional learning experience for learners. The Pro version adds 30 additional modules to LearnDash sites. The fact that 10,000 platforms are interested in this premium plan is mainly due to the unique features it provides.

With Uncanny Toolkit Pro, you’ll be able to customize colors and logos for groups, quizzes, and courses. By customizing the appearance, users will be able to track their progress. The new look adds more dynamism to the platform, making it easier for students to use.

In addition, the extension lets you choose which administrative tools are accessible from the top bar for instructors. If there are too many buttons for you and other users, Uncanny Toolkit Pro lets you collapse or expand the bar.

As learners progress, they like to keep an eye on their goal and determine what it will take to reach it. The Uncanny Toolkit plugin lets you set up a progress bar at the bottom of the screen. Finally, you’ll be able to add a timer to your LearnDash platform to boost your students’ motivation. This will allow them to track their pace and complete their learning as quickly as possible.
