LearnPress – Backup & Migration Tool

73 Quality Score

Active Installs

17/30

With 5,000 active installs and a popularity sub-score of 55/30, adoption is modest and roughly mirrors the smaller end of the LearnPress ecosystem rather than the broader WordPress market.

Update Freshness

25/25

The maintenance score of 100/25 is the strongest signal here: the plugin was last updated on 2026-05-25, well within a recent release window for its stated compatibility.

User Rating

9/15

A score of 62/15 from only 15 ratings is a weak signal; the average sits below the 4-star mark and the small sample size means a handful of frustrated users can easily drag the number down.

Support Health

8/15

Support health scores 50/15, with 1 total support thread and a 0.0% resolution rate, which is a meaningful red flag for a tool you may depend on during a migration.

WP Compatibility

15/15

Compatibility scores a full 100/15, with tested-on WordPress 7.0, minimum WordPress 6.0, and minimum PHP 7.4, which covers the vast majority of current WordPress hosts.

What It Does

LearnPress Import/Export is a companion utility for the LearnPress LMS plugin that lets administrators export courses, lessons, quizzes, and questions to a file, then re-import that file on the same site or another LearnPress installation. It covers the standard migration workflow: backup your course content before updates or server moves, and replicate courses across multi-site networks or staging environments.

Who It's For

This plugin is a fit for LearnPress site owners who need to back up course content before major updates, clone courses between staging and production environments, or migrate a course catalog to a fresh LearnPress installation. It is most useful for instructional designers and LMS administrators managing dozens of courses rather than a handful.

Who Should Skip It

If you are not already running LearnPress as your LMS, this plugin is useless to you, since it depends entirely on LearnPress custom post types and metadata. Anyone running Tutor LMS, Masteriyo, LearnDash, or a non-LMS site should pick a general-purpose export/import tool or a native migration feature in their LMS instead.

The Bottom Line

LearnPress Import/Export does a narrow job and appears actively maintained, but the 0% support resolution rate and a below-average user rating from a tiny sample mean you should test it on staging before trusting it with a real migration. For anyone outside the LearnPress ecosystem, or anyone who needs dependable help when a migration goes wrong, one of the broader alternatives is the safer bet.

Pick Masteriyo if you are starting fresh and want a modern LMS with its own built-in content tools rather than bolting an importer onto LearnPress.

Tutor LMS – eLearning and online course solution 85/100

Choose Tutor LMS if you need a more widely adopted LMS (100,000 installs) with first-party import/export and stronger community support.

Export and Import Users and Customers 83/100

This is the right pick only if your migration concern is user accounts and WooCommerce customer data rather than LearnPress course content.

LearnPress – WordPress LMS Plugin for Create and Sell Online Courses 82/100

Install the core LearnPress plugin first; this importer is an add-on that only makes sense once that base LMS is running.

WP Ultimate CSV Importer – WordPress Import & Export for CSV, XML & Excel 80/100

Reach for this if you want a general-purpose CSV/XML importer that works across custom post types, not just LearnPress structures.
