Hi zarardsd,
Thank you for contacting the LearnPress Team.
Currently, the behavior you’re observing, where the “Continue” button is hidden after a user completes and passes a course, aligns with the default logic of LearnPress. Once a course is marked as complete, the system assumes the user has finished the intended learning path.
Implementing this specific functionality would require custom development to override the default LearnPress behavior. This type of modification falls under our paid customization services.
If you are interested in exploring this further and discussing the specific requirements for your website, please reach out to our customization team. You can find our contact information for customization services by searching for “Thimpress Customization Services” and sending us an email detailing the feature you’d like to implement. We’d be happy to discuss the feasibility for you.
Best regards,

I understand that the system assumes the user has completed their intended learning path. However, without a clear visual indicator—such as a prominent button—it may be unclear to the user that they still have access to the content and proves to be bad UX.
Is there no way for me to control this behaviour myself?
Hi zarardsd,
Thank you for your feedback.
In earlier versions of LearnPress, the Continue button might have persisted after course completion. However, based on feedback indicating that its continued presence could be misleading, we made the decision to hide it upon completion to clearly signify the end of the course.
To help users understand their access to completed content, LearnPress uses status indicators next to each item in the curriculum. A lock icon indicates that the item is not accessible, while the absence of a lock signifies that the user can still view the content.
If you still wish to re-enable the “Continue” button after course completion, you can explore using the following hook:
apply_filters( 'learn-press/user-course/can-impact-item', '...');
This hook is located in wp-content/plugins/learnpress/inc/Models/UserItems/UserCourseModel.php.
However, please be aware that this hook controls whether a user can interact with all course items (lessons, quizzes, etc.), not just the course itself.
You would need to implement additional logic within this filter to specifically target the course completion status and ensure the “Continue” button (or a similar element you might need to re-implement) only appears for the course itself.
Best regards,
Brianvu-tp
