LearnDash Recently Modified Widget
This widget displays the 3 most recently modified courses, lessons, topics, and quizzes.
For Courses, you can navigate directly to “Edit,” “Builder” or “Settings.”
For Lessons, Topics, and Quizzes, each title links directly to the edit page for that piece of content.
It also includes the last modified date/time (i.e. 3 days ago, 5 months ago, etc.).
Other Features
- Just like all Dashboard widgets, they can be hidden by unchecking their respective boxes under “Screen Options”
Tested with LearnDash 3.6.0.3

FAQ
-
Who can see the widgets? (user/role permissions)
-
We decided to show the widgets to users with the “edit_dashboard” capability. By default, this only includes the “Administrator” role.
Any other role, by default, does not have access to edit courses, lessons, topics or quizzes, thus rendering most of the quick links useless. If you want another user role to see the widgets, we suggest using the User Role Editor plugin to add the “edit_dashboard” capability to that user role.
Additionally, the links in the Overview & Links widget only work if the user has access to the corresponding page. For example:
- edit_courses – Can access list pages for Courses, Lessons, Topics, Certificates, Questions & Quizzes
- edit_assignments – Can access the list page for Assignments
- edit_essays – Can access the list page for Essays
- edit_groups – Can access the list page for Groups
- list_users – Can access the “Users > All Users” page
- group_leader – Can access the “Group Administration” page
- manage_options – Can access most settings pages
- manage_categories – Can access & manage all Category & Tag pages
For the Courses widget:
- The “Edit” link will appear if the user has BOTH the edit_courses & edit_published_courses capabilities
- The lesson/topic/quiz links & counts just need the edit_courses capability
- The “Students” link will appear if the user has the list_users capability
For the Recently Modified widget:
- The edit_courses capability is required to use this widget
-
How many courses are displayed in the LearnDash Courses widget?
-
We have chosen to display up to 10 courses. This cannot be customized.
-
In what order are the courses displayed in the LearnDash Courses widget?
-
First, the courses are sorted by their Menu Order, which can be manually chosen/updated by anyone with access to edit a course. If two courses share the same Menu Order, they are then sorted by their course title. This cannot be customized.
-
Kan ik wijzigen hoeveel items er worden weergegeven in de Recent gewijzigd widget?
-
No. The 3 most recently modified will always be displayed.
-
My numbers are incorrect. What’s going on?
-
In the Overview widget, the numbers reflect published content.
In the Courses widget:
- For courses, we display all courses except those in the trash, and revisions
- For lessons, topics & quizzes, we only count the published content that is associated with the course. Drafts, revisions & trashed content do not affect counts.
If you still think your numbers are off, it might be a bug. Please let us know in the support forum so we can try to fix it.
