 * Hey [@earl_d](https://wordpress.org/support/users/earl_d/) ,
 * Welcome to Tutor LMS and thanks for giving it a try!
 * To answer your questions:
    1. **Converting an existing WordPress user to an instructor**:
       Yes, you can! Simply
       assign them the `tutor_instructor` role from the WordPress Users panel. Alternatively,
       users can also use the “Become an Instructor” option from their dashboard if
       you’ve enabled it.
    2. **Editing instructors**:
       To manage instructors (add/edit), make sure you have
       enabled marketplace option from **Tutor LMS → Settings → General**. Once enabled,
       you’ll be able to add or edit instructors from the **Instructors tab** inside
       Tutor LMS. Here’s a visual guide:[https://prnt.sc/SJJdGsBDvbmP](https://prnt.sc/SJJdGsBDvbmP)

 * That worked for some reason when I first switched on marketplace is didn’t work
   but I switched off and on and saved and it works now.
