Admin Tour
Free & ProAfter activating Learnomy, three top-level menus appear in the WordPress admin sidebar. Each menu has a single job: running the academy, managing money, or configuring the system. This page explains what lives in each one.
Overview
The three menus are kept together as a contiguous block in the sidebar, positioned at menu slots 30, 30.1, and 30.2. They stay grouped even when other plugins shift the menu order. Menu labels and icons are filterable, so the white-label module can rename them without breaking any URL.
Learnomy -- run the academy
The top-level Learnomy menu holds everything you need to build and manage courses, handle students, and track content.
The submenu items are:
| Page | What it does |
|---|---|
| Dashboard | Academy-wide stats, trend charts, recent activity, and top courses. Landing page after login. |
| Courses | List of all courses. Create, edit, delete, and set pricing. |
| Lessons | All lessons across every course. Filter by course to find a specific lesson quickly. |
| Quizzes | Quiz list and question bank. Only visible when the Quizzes module is enabled. |
| Question Bank | Reusable question library organized by category. Visible when Quizzes is enabled. |
| Grading | Inbox of submitted quiz attempts that contain essay or manually graded responses. Shows a count badge when there are pending items to grade. Visible when Quizzes is enabled. |
| Students | Student list with enrollment counts and last-active dates. Drillable to a per-student detail page. |
| Instructors | Instructor accounts and their application status. Admin-only. |
| Certificates | Issued certificates with verify links. Only visible when the Certificates module is enabled. |
| Categories | Course category tree (hierarchical). Also used for Learning Path categories in Pro. |
| Reviews | Course review moderation. Always visible so pending reviews can be cleared even if the public review form is disabled. |
| Applications | Instructor application queue. Admins approve or reject. |
| Reported Content | The moderation queue for reviews, comments, and courses that members have flagged. Shows a count badge when there is an open backlog. |
| Announcements | Site-wide or course-specific announcements sent to students. Visible when the Notifications module is enabled. |
| Analytics | Academy-wide reporting, enrollment funnels, and revenue charts. Pro only. |
| Gradebook | Weighted per-course grades built from quizzes, assignments, and SCORM packages, with a per-student grid and CSV export. Pro only, under the Reports section. |
| Pro Tools | The launcher for every Pro extension page: Assignments, Cohorts, Content Drip, Learning Paths, User Journeys, Milestones, Skills, LTI Platforms, Import QTI, and SCORM Tracking each live one card away. These pages do not have their own sidebar rows, which keeps the menu short; their direct URLs still work and can be bookmarked. Only visible when Learnomy Pro is active. |
The menu is grouped under small section labels so related pages sit together. With every Pro extension enabled the menu is 22 rows, which is what keeps it inside the flyout - WordPress flyout menus do not scroll, so anything past the bottom of the screen would be unreachable:
| Section | Pages |
|---|---|
| (top) | Dashboard |
| Content | Courses, Lessons, Quizzes, Question Bank, Categories |
| People | Students, Instructors, Applications |
| Engagement | Certificates, Reviews, Reported Content, Announcements |
| Reports | Grading, Analytics, Gradebook |
| Extensions | Pro Tools |
The Grading submenu shows a number badge (the yellow circle) when there are attempts waiting for manual review. It disappears once all pending submissions are graded. Reported Content shows the same style of badge when the moderation queue has an open backlog.
Some pages are deliberately kept out of the sidebar and are reached from the screen that owns them: the course builder and the course, lesson, quiz and question editors, the certificate designer, the setup wizard, the per-student and per-instructor detail pages, and Grade Responses (reached from Grading). They all still have working, bookmarkable URLs.
LMS Commerce -- money
The LMS Commerce menu only appears when at least one commerce module is enabled (Membership, Commissions, or Coupons), or when Learnomy Pro forces it on via a filter. If none of those modules are active and Pro is not installed, this menu is hidden.
This menu is grouped into three sections:
| Section | Page | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| (top) | Overview | Revenue summary: total earnings, active subscriptions, and recent transactions at a glance. |
| Sell | Memberships | Membership plan list. Create and configure recurring billing plans. |
| Sell | Subscriptions | Active and expired subscriber list. Drillable to per-subscription details with billing history. |
| Sell | Coupons | Discount code management. Set fixed or percentage discounts, usage limits, and expiry dates. |
| Sell | Space Plans | Pricing plans for learning spaces - what an organization pays for seats. Pro only. |
| Money | Earnings | Instructor earnings ledger. Shows per-instructor revenue splits and pending withdrawal balances. |
| Money | Transactions | Full transaction log with provider reference, amount, and status. |
| Money | Refundable Transactions | The subset of transactions still inside their refund window, so you do not have to hunt for them in the full log. |
| Money | Stripe Payouts | Manage Stripe Connect payouts to instructors. Pro only. |
| Money | Spaces | Learning spaces and their seat usage. Pro only. |
| Reports | Membership Analytics | Detailed MRR, churn, and LTV charts. Pro only. |
The per-record detail and editor screens - Edit Membership Plan, and the single Subscription, Transaction, Withdrawal and Coupon pages - have no sidebar rows. You reach them by clicking a row in the list above them, and their URLs are bookmarkable.
Enabling or disabling the Membership module from the Modules page immediately shows or hides the Commerce menu on your next page load.
LMS Settings -- config and system
The LMS Settings menu holds configuration and system pages. These are site-owner pages; day-to-day course management lives in the Learnomy menu instead.
Unlike the other two menus, this one is a flat list with no section headers:
| Page | What it does |
|---|---|
| Settings | The settings page. Its left-hand navigation is grouped: General (General, Pages, Labels, Layouts, Registration Fields), Commerce (Payments, Instructors, Commissions, Membership Page), Communication (Emails, Reviews), Content (Comments, Certificate Defaults, Quiz Settings), Learning Standards, Advanced (API & Performance, Data Management). Pro adds its own groups when the matching extension is active: Pro (License, and White Label when that extension is on), Memberships Pro (Billing & retries), and Integrations (Credly). |
| Modules | Toggle features on and off. Required modules are locked; all others are optional. |
| Import | Bring courses in from another LMS or from a previous export. |
| Email Log | History of every notification email sent by Learnomy, with delivery status. Visible when the Notifications module is enabled. |
| Payment Webhook Log | Log of every webhook Learnomy receives from Stripe or PayPal, with outcome and a replay button. |
| Outgoing Webhooks | Configuration for the webhooks Learnomy sends. Point them at your own systems to be notified when LMS events fire. |
| Companion Plugins | One-click install and activate for the plugins Learnomy works with. |
| What's in Pro | A catalog showing all Free and Pro modules side by side with tier badges (FREE / PRO) and status labels (Stable / Beta). Useful for seeing what Pro adds before purchasing. |
Payment Webhook Log and Outgoing Webhooks sit next to each other on purpose, and their names are the only thing that tells them apart: one is inbound, one is outbound. The delivery log for an individual outgoing webhook has no sidebar row - open it from Outgoing Webhooks.
Tips
- Bookmarks still work. The menus were reorganized in June 2026 and the labels were changed again in July 2026 (Webhook Events became Payment Webhook Log, Webhooks became Outgoing Webhooks, Integrations became Companion Plugins, Pro Features became What's in Pro, and the two shorter top-level names arrived). No page slug - the
?page=part of the URL - has ever changed in any of those moves, so every bookmark you have saved still resolves to the right page. - Module gating. If you visit a Commerce page URL when all commerce modules are disabled, Learnomy redirects you to the Modules page with a notice, rather than showing a blank 403 screen.
- White-label. When the Pro white-label module is active, the word "Learnomy" in all three menu labels can be replaced. The "Commerce" and "Settings" suffixes survive the rename.
