THE PROBLEM

LearnDash’s group screens are a flat list built for a handful of groups. Groups Plus gives your clients’ leaders a front-end dashboard. Your staff need the other side.

“Every new client is twenty minutes of group setup.”

Parent organization, child team, courses, seats, price settings, leader. The same steps every time.

“Which of my clients is over their seats?”

You find out when a leader emails you, not before.

“Two teams are really one team now.”

LearnDash has no merge. You rebuild by hand and hope you didn’t miss a student.

“Who changed that seat count?”

It could have been an order, a Groups Plus screen, or a colleague. Nobody knows.

WHAT IT DOES

Manage Groups

Every organization in one table, with its teams loaded when you expand a row. Search group names, leaders and students at once. Quick filters, saved views and CSV export.

Templates and combo templates

Save seats, price type and courses once. A combo template creates the organization and its first team in one step.

Seats you can trust

The seat pool is worked out at the top organization and shared by its teams. Over-capacity groups are flagged and counted.

People

Add a new or existing user to a group as student or leader. Missing accounts are created with the standard new-user email.

Merge Groups

Move a team, merge two organizations, or merge two teams. A comparison step shows course mapping, student overlap and expired students first.

Archive instead of delete

An archived team keeps its seats and enrollments, dimmed in the admin and collapsed below active teams on the Groups Plus page.

Change log

An append-only record of seat, creation, parent, archive, member and leader changes, with the source of each. It also catches changes made by Groups Plus, other plugins and WooCommerce orders.

Leader auto-enrollment

Pick the courses every new group leader is enrolled in, with a one-time backfill for existing leaders.

Diagnostics

If the Groupboard screen ever times out, a standalone view lists slow table loads and slow admin pages, with phase timings.

BUILT FOR AUTOMATION

Groupboard has a REST API for the tools behind a training business: a CRM, a billing system, an internal hub. LearnDash covers basic enrollment. Groupboard covers what it doesn’t model.

  • Create a group, or an organization and team from a combo template
  • Set seats and add people
  • Read the change log at /wp-json/groupboard/v1/changes
  • Writes take an Idempotency-Key, so a retried request is replayed for 24 hours instead of creating a second group
  • API writes are opt-in per user, never granted by role
  • Account creation is rate limited to 60 new accounts per user per hour

WHERE IT FITS

Groups Plus

Groups Plus is the leader-facing front end. Groupboard is the staff-facing back end, and it adds team sorting, student search and an archived-teams section to the leader’s Groups Plus page.

Studentboard Pro

With both active, Groupboard shows a Students panel inside the Manage Groups table. Same learner rows, same quick edit, without leaving the screen.

WooCommerce

Groupboard doesn’t sell anything. It labels change log rows with the order that caused them.

Uncanny Groups

Groupboard reads Uncanny’s seat data when it’s present, and warns you if that override would hide a change.

QUESTIONS

Do I need Groups Plus?

Groupboard is built around Groups Plus style hierarchies, with parent organizations and child teams, and works alongside it. The additions to the leader’s Groups Plus page need Groups Plus. If you run LearnDash without it, use the free trial to check Groupboard fits your setup before you buy.

Does it replace Groups Plus?

No. Groups Plus is the leader-facing front end. Groupboard is the staff-facing back end.

Can group leaders use it?

Not the admin screens, which are for site administrators. Leaders get team sorting, student search and the archived-teams section on their Groups Plus page.

Will it slow down my site?

It’s built for large group lists: lazy-loaded rows, cached pages, precomputed counts and a Performance Mode. A very slow host can still struggle with a very large list, which is why the diagnostics view exists.

Will it change my existing groups?

Groups stay normal LearnDash groups. Nothing changes until you take an action, and merges show you a full comparison first.

What happens if my license lapses?

The licensed screens stop loading. The change log keeps recording, so you don’t lose history.

How does the free trial work?

14 days with the full plugin, and no card needed. Licensing, checkout and automatic updates run through Freemius.
