WPLMS CoAuthors Plus

34 Quality Score

Active Installs

14/30

1,000 active installs is modest, but the score is inflated because the metric compares against a very narrow niche rather than the wider LMS market.

Update Freshness

3/25

Last updated November 2024 and tested against WordPress 6.7.5, which is recent, though the absence of a public PHP requirement and a small codebase make long-term upkeep hard to gauge.

User Rating

3/15

A perfect 100 from a single rating is statistically meaningless and offers little real signal about user satisfaction.

Support Health

8/15

Zero support threads and zero resolved tickets means there is no public track record of responsive help, which is a meaningful risk if you hit a bug.

WP Compatibility

8/15

Tested with WordPress 6.7.5 and compatible back to 3.6, but the unspecified PHP requirement and tight coupling to two other plugins limit broader compatibility confidence.

What It Does

WPLMS CoAuthors Plus bridges the WPLMS Learning Management System with the CoAuthors Plus plugin, allowing multiple contributors to be assigned as co-authors of WPLMS courses. In practice, this means course listings and author bylines can show several instructors or co-creators instead of a single author. It is a niche connector that only adds value if you already run both WPLMS and CoAuthors Plus.

Who It's For

This plugin fits WPLMS site owners who need to credit multiple instructors, teaching assistants, or guest lecturers on a single course page, such as universities running team-taught programs or corporate training departments with shared course authorship. It is specifically built for the WPLMS ecosystem, so it has no utility outside of that LMS.

Who Should Skip It

If you are not actively using WPLMS, or you only need a single course author, this plugin adds no value. Anyone using Tutor LMS, LearnPress, LifterLMS, LearnDash, or Masteriyo should look at alternatives, since this connector will not function with those systems.

The Bottom Line

With an overall quality score of 37.58/100, this is a narrow utility plugin that does one job: connecting WPLMS to CoAuthors Plus. The single five-star rating and zero support threads make it hard to trust in production. Use it only if you are already locked into WPLMS and specifically need multi-author course credits; everyone else is better served by an LMS with native multi-instructor support.

Pick Masteriyo if you want a modern LMS with built-in multi-instructor support and a much stronger overall score without needing a separate connector.

Tutor LMS – eLearning and online course solution 85/100

Pick Tutor LMS if you want a widely adopted LMS (100,000 installs) that already handles co-instructors natively and avoids extra integration plugins.

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

Pick LearnPress if you need co-author workflows on a larger platform (70,000 installs) with a richer extension ecosystem.

Uncanny Toolkit for LearnDash 81/100

Pick the Uncanny Toolkit if you are on LearnDash and want a well-supported add-on suite that includes multi-instructor style features.

LifterLMS – WP LMS for eLearning, Online Courses, & Quizzes 80/100

Pick LifterLMS if you want built-in multi-instructor support and a healthier support track record than this WPLMS-only connector.
