The **LearnPress – Backup & Migration Tool** is a **crucial add-on (or extension)** for users of the LearnPress WordPress LMS plugin, designed to streamline the management of course content and data. It addresses the common need to back up, migrate, or duplicate LearnPress courses,** as well as providing a seamless one-click migration from other popular LMS platforms like TutorLMS and LearnDash into LearnPress.** ### LearnPress Backup & Import/Export Functionality * Selective Export/Import: Depending on the specific add-on version, there might be options to selectively export or import certain aspects of a course, rather than the entire course. This could mean exporting only quizzes, or lessons, for example. ### LearnPress Migration Functionality – Effortless LMS Migration Tool The **most powerful** feature addition to **this add-on** is a streamlined, one- click migration tool for facilitating seamless transitions from other LMS systems to LearnPress. This feature helps users looking to switch LMS platforms while preserving their valuable course content, student data, and instructor information. ### Currently, our migration tool supports converting data from the following platforms to LearnPress: * **TutorLMS** * **LearnDash** * **MasterStudy (Developing – Coming soon!)** Here’s a detailed breakdown of the migration tool’s functions and benefits: ### Main Functionality: * **Automated Data Transfer**: The tool automates the complex process of transferring data from **supported LMS platforms (like TutorLMS or LearnDash)** to LearnPress. This eliminates the need for manual data entry or complex database manipulation, saving time and effort. * **Data Mapping**: In cases where data structures are different between **other LMSs** and LearnPress, the tool intelligently maps data fields to ensure accurate transfer. ### Benefits for Users: * **Cost Effective**: By automating a complex process, this add-on saves the user from paying developers for the migration process. Moreover, this plugin is free to download as well! ### Technical considerations * The **add-on** requires both LearnPress and **the other LMS system you are migrating from** to be installed and activated on your WordPress site. It is **highly** recommended to back up the website before starting the migration process. **Other free add-ons for LearnPress are available in WordPress:** * [LearnPress Wishlist](https://wordpress.org/plugins/learnpress-wishlist/) – add courses to a wishlist for students. * [LearnPress Course Review](https://wordpress.org/plugins/learnpress-course-review/)– review course for enrolled students. * [LearnPress Prerequisites Courses](https://wordpress.org/plugins/learnpress-prerequisites-courses/)– require student to pass some courses in order to enroll other course. * [LearnPress bbPress](https://wordpress.org/plugins/learnpress-bbpress) – add bbPress Forum support for LearnPress. * [LearnPress BuddyPress](https://wordpress.org/plugins/learnpress-buddypress) – add BuddyPress support for LearnPress. **Premium Plugins (add-ons) for LearnPress WordPress LMS Plugin** * [Certificates add-on for LearnPress](https://thimpress.com/product/certificates-add-on-for-learnpress/)– adding drag & drop certificates builder as well as selecting designed certificate for each LMS course, your student will get particular certificate when they finished a course. * [Co-instructors add-on for LearnPress](https://thimpress.com/product/co-instructors-add-on-for-learnpress/)– multiple instructors support for each LMS course. * [Collections add-on for LearnPress](https://thimpress.com/product/collections-add-on-for-learnpress/)– making LMS courses collection by selecting number of courses, this is helpful if you want to combine multiple LMS courses into a collection for a group of skills. * [Stripe Payment method for LearnPress](https://thimpress.com/product/stripe-add-on-for-learnpress/)– Stripe payment method for LearnPress WordPress LMS Plugin. * [WooCommerce add-on for LearnPress](https://thimpress.com/product/woocommerce-add-on-for-learnpress/)– using WooCommerce as payment gateway for LearnPress WordPress LMS Plugin. ### Other note [Documentation](http://docs.thimpress.com/learnpress) is available in ThimPress site.

After DAYS of dev work trying to simply IMPORT A COURSE, I have come to the conclusion that the entire framework of LearnPress is an absolutely sh*t show. If you want to extend this on your own, in any way, forget about it. This plugin + LearnPress are cancelled. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/62ffddda118e53d31df727a14a91a90ea31b40738cc5d0925ca5b817e7c4620e? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Import/Export Plugin Flat Doesn’t Work….](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/import-export-plugin-flat-doesnt-work/)󠁿 [PAbernathy](https://profiles.wordpress.org/pabernathy/) May 28, 2024 I am glad I did not listen when Thimpress told me that Learnpress would be easy to share with my other sites that use learnpress. Their Import/Export Plugin doesn’t work and it never transfers anything, much less the courses and lessons already created. In fact, the entire Import/Export Plug in should be scrapped as it again simply doesnt work. They stated in support to make sure I have the latest LearnPress… well it is updated automatically but I still made sure it was the latest version and the Import/Export only has one beta version. So, it clearly is the plugin not gathering and importing properly. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fd887aec68a0ce46b2548c577cdb56c69fbf2cffbb822f979f7af30daff1ae6e? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Export/Import, but not “totally”](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/export-import-but-not-totally/)󠁿 [lejumgames](https://profiles.wordpress.org/lejumgames/) December 26, 2021 EN In the test I performed, it exports and imports everything, but the Questions are not linked in the Quizzes (“Not assigned yet”). So if you have several courses with A LOT of questions, it’s going to be complicated. Also it exports in XML (I would prefer it to be in CSV). PT-BR No teste que realizei, ele exporta e importa tudo, porém as questões não ficam vinculadas nos questionários. Então se você tiver vários cursos com MUITAS questões, vai dar trabalho. Além disso, ele exporta em XML (eu preferiria que fosse em CSV). ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/cdbbdf87cf341f17352db856e573fae340452da0dc66c5667011bfddef1d56e1? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Excellent Plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/excellent-plugin-7523/)󠁿 [MichaelHayles](https://profiles.wordpress.org/michaelhayles/) November 19, 2021 Installed on two sites both using WP v5.8.2 and worked perfectly. Was able to edit the xml file between export and import to change the domain details. To import, I didn’t check the box to “Save imported file on your server so you can download/ import it later” but just let it import the courses and lessons. The purpose of the exercise! Very simple and easy to use. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/046fff14385f0fdf7a12ea00d31515b84c31f813d392e186412d00d2add2eae1? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Donde van los archivos importados?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/donde-van-los-archivos-importados/)󠁿 [charomg](https://profiles.wordpress.org/charomg/) October 27, 2021 Trás intentos de subir archivos de cuestionarios de preguntas, logro subir uno extension xml y sube, al menos aparece el 100% de subida, el problema es…… Donde van esos archivos? por que no los encuentro en ninguna parte de mi leampress Ayudaaa 🙁 ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/6056601f3d2e9bf8fb9dc55b6492cd387caae5ec915b37c97251082f4930f9cb? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[not working](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-working-3504/)󠁿 [terminus](https://profiles.wordpress.org/nycluddite/) January 26, 2021 agreed. no records exported.
