Two separate course archives?

    Hi,

    We are looking to create 2 distinct archives for different course types each with filtering capability.

    I purchased and downloaded the Collections add-on, but I’m not sure this will do what I want.

    Is there a way to make this happen with or without the add-on?

    Thanks in advance

    Hi John,

    Thank you for contacting us.

    Currently, LearnPress provides shortcodes and filter widgets. However, these filters are designed to work with the default course archive page and cannot be directly applied to custom course archive pages.

    Thank you Brianvu-tp,
    Then I’m guessing maybe a subdomain each with it’s own LP installation is the only way at this point:
    https://mydomain/collection1 (with all-courses archive/filters)
    https://mydomain/collection2 (with separate all-courses archive and filters)

    Let me know if this isn’t reasonable.

    Best,
    John

    Hi John,

    Thank you for your response.

    To ensure we understand your setup correctly, could you please confirm if https://mydomain/collection1 and https://mydomain/collection2 are intended to be two separate websites? Clarifying this will help us provide the most accurate and relevant answer.

    Hello Brianvu-tp,

    Thanks for the response. Given that we cant have 2 course archives for the same site, that was my first thought, but I am experimenting with separating the 2 collections and just having one use filters. The other set is smaller and we may be able to get away without. In any case; If that doesn’t work out, we might consider 2 distinct sites under separate subdomains.

    As always, your support is appreciated!

    Hi John,

    Thank you for your clarification.

    LearnPress currently only supports filters for the default Archive Courses page.

    To confirm my understanding, is it correct that the courses on https://mydomain/collection1 are entirely separate and unrelated to the courses on https://mydomain/collection2? In essence, would https://mydomain/collection2 function as a completely independent site from https://mydomain/collection1?

    Hi Brianvu-tp,
    This was one thought, but after experimenting we have decided on using a combination of the collections and course archive with filtering.

    Hi John,

    Thank you for the update.

    We understand that you’ve decided to use a combination of collections and the course archive with filtering due to the current limitations of LearnPress. LearnPress’s filtering capabilities are primarily designed to work with the main courses archive page.

    Best regards,

    Thank you for the follow-up Brianvu-tp.

    After having purchased the Collections add-on, I have discovered a better way to do this via the List Courses Widget. It actually simulates the all courses archive perfectly if using Elementor, can be customized much easier than the Collections.

    If someone else is considering this, my advise is to take a look at the widget first…

    Best,
