Learn with Foundation docs

Learn with Foundation is a WordPress-native LMS layer. It turns content you already publish, alongside the WooCommerce store you already run, into a branded academy with enrollment, progress tracking, quizzes, and verifiable certificates.

How it differs from traditional LMS plugins

• Content-model agnostic: it attaches to your existing course post type instead of forcing a proprietary structure or a content migration.
• Commerce-driven enrollment is a designed journey through purchase, identity, activation, sign-in, and access, not just a webhook.
• Split-domain ready: run the shop on your main site and the academy on a learning subdomain.
• Certificates are verification-ready, with a public verification page, not just completion badges.
• Templates are theme-overridable, so the learner experience matches your brand.

Supported versions

• WordPress 6.0 or newer
• PHP 8.0 or newer
• Pretty permalinks enabled
• WooCommerce for paid course access; optional for free courses

Relationship to WooCommerce

WooCommerce handles selling, including products, checkout, payments, and refunds. Learn with Foundation handles everything after the order: enrollment, account provisioning, activation, access control, learning, progress, and certificates. WooCommerce is optional for the free, lead-generation tier and required once you sell paid access.
