I need help then. Every time I update wplms 3.xx to version 4.xx so many visuals change. I don't know where to start. I host at Kinsta and they stop supporting php7.4 in two weeks time.
I have been a part of the wplms family for 6 to 7 years now I think. Could you tell me what to do? Please,
Yes I understand there are lot of customization you have done which might not work with v4 wplms .
But currently v3 plugins are not compatible with php version 8.0 .
You would need to upgrade a some point.
I understand you are using h5p content and h5p quizzes in your site.We have created a new upgrader for old users that will easily migrate your site to new version v4 . We can try migrating it on a test site first .
There should not be any issues .
You content will work but not exactly the way it work in v3 like retake quiz button positioning and all
Q1: I changed the course directory layout to fix it. So problem solved. Why would I need to use the blank layout? What can the blank layout do?
Q2: How can I delete this progress bar? Also, the course buttons and the progress bars take a very long time to load. Any idea why? Would it help if I turn my staging website to php 8.0?
And how can I put the 'add review' underneath the course content?
Q3: I love those filters! Thanks! How can I get a standard of like a 100 students per page? And can I get them in rows/columns of four? Like at my live website...
Q4/6: About the members page, how do I get this menu back? And do you have a video for me that explains the new interface for members profile?
Q5: Are you saying Elementor is the same company? Same plugin? Just an updated version of it?
Q7: I've read this, but some images are missing. So my question is: How do I add a new (Dutch) language file?
Q8: These icons. How can I get the old icons back? I want the ones on the left.
Well these are different plugins , you will need to translate from scratch .It will show some translation which we might have added in wplms plugin but not most of it .
There should be already a dutch translation file in wplms plguin , please simply edit it . Wplms plugin is a new plugin the old translation files from old plugin will not work .
Yep I checked there is not any translation file .you need to translate from scratch .Sorry to say , this is a new plugin based on vibebp framework we built .it will allow you to publish PWA to play store as well.
That's fine, I'll add a language and at it to the system. But I get a warning that some files are too big to load. Never had that before. How can I enlarge the size limit so that all strings are being loaded? See screenshot
Hello,
It has been a while... :)
Can I update my php to 8.0 without expecting trouble?
Waiting for your response.
Gijs
Well v3 plugins like vibe course module etc may not be compatible with php 8.x .
So we dont recommend it .
While v4 plugins like wplms and vibebp are totally compatible with php 8.0 .
Oh dear Alex,
I need help then. Every time I update wplms 3.xx to version 4.xx so many visuals change. I don't know where to start. I host at Kinsta and they stop supporting php7.4 in two weeks time.

1 . Im sorry that cannot be done exactly like that snce we have app dashboard page just like an app where user can access his courses and all .
https://staging-meestergijs.kinsta.cloud/app/#component=course
2 . fixed .
3 . students page showing student but not the exact way it used to be but we have added more filters to it .
4 .members pages are now converted to app page where member can access all its member profiles
5 . wp bakery is old plugin and elementor has taken it over in terms of features and performance .
Thats why we built our profile , course layouts on it . however you can still use wp bakery on pages along with elementor , there wont be issues .
6 . as told now member page is changed totally and built it like app page .
7 . Well yes I understand this but these string now come from single plugin called wplms plugin .
Wplms plugin contains all the different old v3 vibe plugins like vibe course module etc .
8 . can you please share screenshot which icons ?

1 . its necessary for the v4 to work .
2. yes php 8.0 is fine .I think staging server is very low configuration , it might improve on live .Im not seeing progress :
https://prnt.sc/_3nFXhgS6cP4
3 . please just edit the directory but i wont recommend since loading 100 users will put load on server .
https://docs.wplms.io/administrator-guide/step-by-step-guide-for-administrators/directories#the-members-directory
4 . this can be customized with logged in menu from wp-adimin -> appearance -> customize -> menus ..
edit the logged in menu to add these menu items . but that exact menu wont be possibe .
5 . no its different but better.
7 . well old lang file will not work you have to ultimately translate the wplms plugin .
8 . Well there is new code in place for curriculum there . We need to check this out ,create a different topic for that .
7. And when I change the WPLMS language file, does it still show my Dutch translations after plugin/language file updates?
Gijs
Well these are different plugins , you will need to translate from scratch .It will show some translation which we might have added in wplms plugin but not most of it .
What does it mean to translate from scratch? Can I just add translation to an US English file, or should I add a langauge tot the system first?
There should be already a dutch translation file in wplms plguin , please simply edit it . Wplms plugin is a new plugin the old translation files from old plugin will not work .
Yep I checked there is not any translation file .you need to translate from scratch .Sorry to say , this is a new plugin based on vibebp framework we built .it will allow you to publish PWA to play store as well.

make sure you have increased the file size from here:
https://prnt.sc/21jy4pq
https://prnt.sc/21jydo6
Fixed! I changed it to 500Kb. Any disadventages? What's ideal size?
We can close after your answer
Well that depends upon our file size actually we recommend 1000KB
Ah, great. Have changed it to 1000KB.
We can close.
