How do I hide post meta data (date, author, comments, etc.)?

How do I hide post meta data (date, author, comments, etc.)?

Post meta data refers to the author』s name, date and/or numbers of comments that you sometimes see below the page title. For example:
Posted in {Category} by {Author Name} – 3 comments
Hiding this information is specific to your theme, so not all solutions listed below will work for everyone.

Check the Customizer
First, we recommend you check the WordPress Customizer. Sometimes a theme will provide a simple checkbox for you to hide this information.

Navigate to APPEARANCE > CUSTOMIZE
Check all the panels to see if there』s an option to hide post meta data

Each theme is different, so we can』t advise on exactly where to look.
Custom CSS
If you don』t find anything in the Customizer, you can use a little custom CSS. Again, this is heavily dependent on your theme, and won』t work for everyone, but you can try the following.
Hide on ALL LearnDash pages (works for many themes, but not all):
.single-sfwd-courses .entry-meta,
.single-sfwd-lessons .entry-meta,
.single-sfwd-topic .entry-meta,
.single-sfwd-quiz .entry-meta,
.single-sfwd-assignment .entry-meta {
display: none;
}
If you』re using the Divi theme, use this instead:
.single-sfwd-courses .post-meta,
.single-sfwd-lessons .post-meta,
.single-sfwd-topic .post-meta,
.single-sfwd-quiz .post-meta,
.single-sfwd-assignment .post-meta {
display: none;
}
For all other themes, please contact your theme developer and ask them how to remove the post meta information.
Use a Plugin
If none of those options work, some LearnDash users have had success with this plugin:
WP Author, Date and Meta Remover

How do I protect my course files & downloads?

How do I protect my course files & downloads?

Since LearnDash uses the built-in WordPress Media Library, you may use any plugin (free or paid) to add extra security settings to your files, downloads, and/or videos. This is one of the most popular ones:
WordPress Download Manager

You can use any plugin that provides the features that are right for your project.
For protecting videos, you have a few options.
You can modify your .htaccess file to prevent direct URL access to the video file. Instructions for this method can be found in this article.
Alternatively, you can host videos on a platform like Vimeo or Wistia—both of which have excellent content protection options. You can also read this article for more information on protecting your video content:

How can I make email notifications send on time?

How can I make email notifications send on time?

If you』re using the LearnDash notifications add-on, you might experience a delay in the timing of your email notifications. This is partially a limitation of WordPress, but also depends on the type of hosting you have.
In some cases, you might need to add a custom cron job on your server. This process differs depending on your host, so please reach out to your host』s support team for help. If you』re using cPanel, you can follow the instructions below:
Create Cron Job in cPanel

Login to cPanel
Search for & locate 「Cron Jobs」 (typically found in the 「Advanced」 section)
Add this command:

* * * * * wget -q -O - 'https://yoursite.com/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron&cron=true'

NOTE
Some shared hosting services will not allow cron jobs to run once per minute. This could mean your notifications will be sent later than intended. Please contact your host about cron job limitations.
