LmsCrafter Progress Reset & Restore for LearnDash helps administrators and authorized group leaders give learners a clean restart without working through user profiles one at a time.
This is an independent plugin by LmsCrafter, not affiliated with or endorsed by LearnDash. LearnDash LMS is required and is not included.
The plugin supports:
- A single learner or many learners.
- A single course or many courses.
- Exact learner and course combinations.
- LearnDash group and WordPress role selections.
- One-time, daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly schedules.
- Optional direct-course unenrollment.
- Downloadable pre-reset impact reports.
- CSV reference export and controlled CSV reset import.
- Separate course-progress, quiz-attempt, and assignment controls.
- Frontend self-reset, group-leader management, or approval requests.
- Learner archive history with course progress, quiz attempts, and certificate links.
- Administrator archive reports and filtering-ready CSV files.
- Reset and request email notifications.
Safety Vault
Every real reset first creates an integrity-checked snapshot. Authorized administrators can restore the affected course progress, quiz attempts and statistics, graded essays, LearnDash activity records, direct course access, and course assignments during the configured retention period. Selected assignments and essays are held in a private Safety Vault status so their files and feedback remain available for restoration. Retention is adjustable from 1 to 90 days and defaults to 30 days.
The Safety Vault is a database snapshot, not an encrypted backup. Protect WordPress database backups and limit administrator access appropriately.
Lightweight by design
The backend uses WordPress-native markup, a small vanilla JavaScript file, and a small CSS file. It adds no frontend framework, page builder dependency, remote admin asset, tracking script, or background queue.
Shortcodes
[lmsc_progress_reset] displays the current learner's direct reset or request form, according to plugin settings.
[lmsc_progress_reset mode="manage" button_text="Reset progress"] displays the permitted management form for an administrator or group leader.
[lmsc_progress_archive] displays the current learner's archive history.
