Can't create sections inside of LearnDash LMS

Hi there,

Is LearnDash LMS a CPT?

If so this should work:
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/generate_sections_post_types/

Thank you Leo.
What is a CPT?
Also - and forgive my ignorance as I'm not a developer - what value am I supposed to use in "yourposttype"?
Thanks!

CPT is custom post type.

I'm not sure if LearnDash is using CPT or not - you'd need to check with their support.

If it is, then you can just replace yourposttype with the name of the CPT name.

Let me know :)

Got it

I just asked my good friend Google and found https://www.learndash.com/support/docs/developers/hooks-and-filters/

For future reference should anybody be looking for the answer, here it is:

1. Create a child theme or use the blank one provided at https://docs.generatepress.com/article/using-child-theme/

2. Update functions.php of that child theme with

add_filter( 'generate_sections_post_types','generate_add_section_post_types' );
function generate_add_section_post_types() {
return array( 'page','post','sfwd-courses','sfwd-lessons','sfwd-topic','sfwd-quiz' );
}

Glad you've figured out!

Thanks for sharing the code :)

Thank you Leo.
One more question, and it may seem strange at this point.
What's the benefit of using Sections?
Until now I had an aversion to Gutenberg and had disabled it.
My motivation for making Sections work with LearnDash was to be able to create columns, but Sections - as I just found out - doesn't do that.
This led me to explore Gutenberg and start to appreciate what it has to offer.
Seeing all it can do, I now wonder what the purpose of Sections is. Is it intended for people who don't like Gutenberg?

Sections came out a long time before Gutenberg was released.

Before Gutenberg editor there was only text/visual editor in WordPress so section was very useful back then.

We are working on a new plugin that will basically be a combination of Gutenberg + Sections and offer a lot of users features like columns etc.

Stay tuned :)
