Front-end Dashboard

Groups Plus has an out-of-the-box dashboard page. The page will be automatically created once the add-on is activated. The website address format would be: yourdomain.com/learndash-groups-plus

You can also create a custom page for Groups Plus’ front-end dashboard. Here are the two options:

1. Adding the shortcode on a regular page will pull the Groups Plus Dashboard user interface: [learndash_groups_plus]
2. Similarly, a Gutenberg Block named LearnDash Groups Plus will display the same dashboard.

Note: The default Groups Plus front-end dashboard, which uses the /learndash-groups-plus page slug, is not editable like regular pages. This design prevents conflicts with other Gutenberg block elements, such as ProPanel.

If you want to use the front-end dashboard alongside other Gutenberg elements, the best approach is to create a regular page instead. Just ensure that you do not use the same default slug to avoid conflicts.

The Group Leader shown in the screenshot is the Lead Organizer for Some Organization group. Lead Organizers can manage the available courses, teams, and team leaders.

A Group Leader’s capabilities depend on the enabled settings found in LearnDash LMS > Groups > Settings.

The Group Leader User Settings section includes various options that can be enabled based on customers’ needs.
