How to Grant Course Access Through a Membership Plan

Enroll a membership plan's members into one or more LearnDash courses, so they gain access when they join and lose it when they leave.

Before you start: you need an active LearnDash course and a WooCommerce Memberships plan. Use a closed course so access changes are visible.

Steps

1. Go to WooCommerce > Memberships > Membership Plans and edit the plan (or add a new one).
2. In Membership Plan Data, open the Course Enrolment tab.
3. Select Add New Enrolment Rule.
4. Set Type to Select Courses, then use the search to choose the course — or leave it blank to apply to all courses.
5. Set Accessible to when members should gain access:
   • immediately — as soon as the membership becomes active.
   • after a delay — choose an amount and period (days, weeks, months, or years), counted from the member's start date.
   • on a specific date — the calendar date access unlocks.
6. Update the plan to save.

Result

Members of this plan are enrolled in the selected course(s) according to the schedule you set. When a member's membership ends, MemberSync removes that access — unless they still hold it another way.

To grant access to LearnDash groups instead, use the Group Enrolment tab in the same way.
