Integrate with Sensei

Sensei is a learning management system (LMS) plugin for WordPress that makes it easy to create online courses. Memberful has built-in support for Sensei. In this help doc, learn how to install and activate Sensei and how to protect your course for members only using the Memberful WP plugin.

You will use the Memberful access restriction settings to restrict access to your course for members only instead of the WooCommerce integration.

Create a course

Sensei courses are made up of Modules, Lessons, and Quizzes. Modules allow you to group lessons, but contain no content. Here’s an example of a basic course hierarchy:

Course title: Coffee 101

Module 1: Coffee Basics

Learn how to create a course with Sensei.

Protect your course for members only

Once you've built your course, you can protect it for members only.

  1. Navigate to your course from the WordPress dashboard and scroll to the bottom of the page to access the Memberful Restrict Access meta box.
  2. Select a plan or plans to define which members can access the course. Repeat this step for each lesson in your course.

Sensei restrict access

The content to the right of the Who has access? section is shown to anyone without access. This is where you should add your plan purchase link and marketing content—or a note that lets non-members know that this can only be accessed by paying members.
