01. Introduction to BeaverDash
BeaverDash is a WordPress plugin by Tangible Inc. that connects Beaver Builder with LearnDash. It lets you design course, lesson, topic, and quiz pages visually using Beaver Builder's layout editor, while LearnDash data populates automatically for each learner.
What BeaverDash gives you
BeaverDash adds 31 LearnDash-aware modules to Beaver Builder's module panel. Drop a module into any layout and it pulls live course data, progress state, navigation links, and enrollment status from LearnDash automatically.
It also registers 105 dynamic field connections for use in Beaver Themer layouts. These let you connect any Beaver Builder element to specific LearnDash data points using Beaver Themer's standard connection system.
BeaverDash shortcodes give you the same data as WordPress shortcodes, usable in post content, module text fields, and PHP templates.
What you need
| Plugin | Required for |
|---|---|
| Beaver Builder | All modules and field connections |
| Beaver Themer | Field connections in Themer layouts |
| LearnDash 3.0+ | Most modules and all field connections |
