Widgets - Group Invitation Link

Overview​

The Group Invitation Link widget renders a button that links to a LifterLMS Group's open invitation URL. Anyone who clicks the button — even users not yet enrolled — can join the group as a member.

This is the simplest way to surface a group's "Join Group" call-to-action on a public page, in a course's sidebar, or anywhere else the group's open invitation should be visible.

Requires LifterLMS Groups

This widget is available when the LifterLMS Groups add-on is installed and activated alongside Lifter Elements. Without LifterLMS Groups, the widget is not registered.

Open invitation must be enabled on the group

The button only renders when the target group has an open invitation link enabled in its Members → Invite Members → Invite with Link settings. If no open link exists, the widget renders nothing (unless the No Invitation Message field is set — see below).

Getting to know the widget​

In the Elementor widget panel, look for the Group Invitation Link tile under the Lifter Elements - Groups category:

Dropped into a page or template, the widget renders as a styled "Join Group" button:

tip

Leave the No Invitation Message empty to keep your design clean when no invite is available. Set it (e.g. "Invitations are temporarily closed.") when you want users to know the link is intentionally unavailable.
