Scale a Self-Hosted WordPress LMS
Masteriyo Pro and Elite are paid editions of the Masteriyo LMS for creating, managing, and selling online courses from a self-hosted WordPress site. The platform is designed for educators, schools, universities, tutors, coaches, content creators, agencies, and businesses running training or onboarding programs.
Masteriyo includes a course builder, built-in order system, payment gateways, quizzes, and certificates without requiring WooCommerce or third-party plugins for those functions. It supports payments through Stripe, PayPal, Razorpay, Mollie, and more, along with multiple currencies, instructor revenue sharing, and course monetization. The Pro and Elite editions add tools for more structured delivery, assessment, reporting, and administration.
Advanced Course Delivery
Use the course builder to organize courses into chapters, lessons, quizzes, certificates, and assignments. Courses can be self-paced or instructor-led, and existing eLearning content can be imported through SCORM support. H5P support adds interactive learning content and assessments.
- Set prerequisites, enrollment expiration, retakes, and resume-from-last-chapter options.
- Release lessons gradually with content drip schedules.
- Create course bundles, subscriptions, coupons, and marked or sale pricing.
- Use multiple instructors for a course.
- Offer downloadable materials, attachments, announcements, FAQs, badges, and featured courses.
- Use the certificate builder with customizable templates and QR validation.
Assessments and Learner Progress
Masteriyo Pro adds prerequisites, assignments, advanced quiz types, a gradebook, and student reports. These tools help instructors evaluate learners and review course activity from the WordPress dashboard. Quiz creation supports multiple question formats, while the broader platform includes unlimited quizzes and assignments.
For video-based lessons, Masteriyo supports text, video, and YouTube Live content, together with picture-in-picture, subtitles, closed captions, and timestamps. Learners can take notes during lessons and preview lessons before enrollment through the distraction-free learning page.
Migration, Automation, and Administration
The built-in migration tool can transfer courses, quizzes, orders, and student data from TutorLMS, LifterLMS, LearnPress, LearnDash, and MasterStudy without manual exports or developers. Quiz import and export, bulk add-on management, course archive filtering, and an instructors list page support ongoing administration.
Masteriyo integrates with OpenAI ChatGPT for AI-powered course outlines, sections, lessons, and quiz questions. Webhooks support automation and third-party integrations. Security-related tools include two-factor authentication, email verification, password strength checking, content and video protection, and login session management.
