Announcing the Uncanny LearnDash Toolkit Version 3.0!
We just released version 3 of our super-popular Uncanny LearnDash Toolkit plugin and it has some really fantastic improvements!
Our Front End Login module, which is the first thing learners see on many LearnDash sites, has been completely overhauled with new features and an updated design:
We've added support for the popular reCAPTCHA anti-bot service. Many more strings are now easily customizable through the module settings. The original design is selected by default, for backward compatibility with existing sites, so to use the new design you'll need to choose the new template from the module settings. If you are a developer and had overridden the previous template file, you'll need to update your template file with the new version as it includes many internal changes.
Toolkit version 3 brings a completely overhauled Modules page with a more modern, streamlined design and improved mobile support:
We've also added a help page with links to relevant knowledge base articles right inside the plugin.
And what would a new release be without improved support for the Gutenberg WordPress editor? Modules with front-end components (Breadcrumbs, Resume button and Front End Login) get new Gutenberg blocks to make it easier to add these elements to your Gutenberg pages.
Lastly, we've included a number of bug fixes and minor enhancements to other modules. Check the changelog for the full list.
We put a lot of effort into version 3 of the Toolkit and we hope you enjoy it!
Existing User of the LearnDash Toolkit?
Before you jump in and update your Toolkit plugins on a live site, we highly recommend giving them a try in a Staging environment first. Some of the changes are quite significant, especially the Front End Login module, and testing that everything still works as expected is important.
Here's a quick video that we recommend existing users watch before applying the update to your sites:
Wow! 🤩🥳 Awesome work, guys. And congrats on putting it all together.
I’m in love with the new admin design. It looks so much better, and more importantly, makes managing settings & finding help a lot easier. Really well done.
Kudos to the whole team!
Thanks Dave! Yes, some staffing changes have given us greatly improved design capabilities, so you’ll start to see better output in that area across our plugins soon.
Congrats on growing the team. Please pass along a 🙌 to your new designer. All the little attention to detail is awesome to see. Like the loading on settings popups that shows the animated filler content boxes. 👌
And I gave you guys a little shoutout over on my new blog.
That was great! Thanks so much for the post!
