Design Upgrade Pro for LearnDash

Design Upgrade Pro for LearnDash is a premium extension developed by Escape Creative that completely transforms the visual appearance of your online course platform built with LearnDash, without the need to write a single line of code. It is designed for virtual academy managers, independent trainers, agencies, and companies that want to offer a modern, coherent learning experience aligned with their brand identity, without changing their learning management system or relying on complex page builders for every visual adjustment.

The plugin integrates more than 80 customization options directly into the WordPress Customizer, allowing you to modify every visual element of your course site in real time. Among its most notable features are the complete customization of the course grid, with uniform-height cards, borders, shadows, rounded corners, and hover effects such as elevation or zoom. It also includes four types of color ribbons to differentiate paid, free, already enrolled, or custom courses, as well as advanced styles for the category dropdown.

Course navigation can be redesigned with more than ten dedicated options, while Focus Mode offers more than ten additional settings, including the ability to use edge-to-edge content width to work with page builders. Progress bars support striped, animated, rounded, or square styles, and primary and secondary buttons can be customized in color and style. It is also possible to show or hide specific elements such as the avatar, user name, edit profile link, breadcrumbs, page title, and bottom navigation buttons.

The plugin is compatible with the BuddyBoss theme and works correctly with most WordPress themes, making it a versatile solution for any educational project. Additionally, it includes support for the LearnDash Course Grid add-on, with 18 dedicated design options, and allows you to customize the background and text colors of headers, sidebars, and dropdown menus.

With Design Upgrade Pro for LearnDash, your e-learning platform will no longer look like a generic LearnDash site and will reflect a professional, polished image that inspires confidence in your students. All managed from an intuitive interface you already know: the WordPress Customizer.
