Option 1 – Edit course pagination using the spreadsheet

LearnDash courses have three fields that allow you to manage course pagination, which is the number of lessons and topics that are displayed per page:

• Custom pagination: This field has two values: Default and Custom. You can select any of these values.
• Lessons per page: You can add the number of pages to show per page.
• Topics per page: You can add the number of pages to show per page.

You need to locate the columns to start editing: Custom Pagination, Lessons per Page, Topics per Page.

You can select the pagination using the dropdown in the cells of the Custom Pagination column:

You can also add the number of lessons and topics per page in the cells of the Lessons per page and Topics per page columns.

Once you’re done editing the pagination of your courses, you need to click on Save to apply the changes.

Option 2 – Bulk Edit LearnDash Course Pagination

If you don’t want to edit the course pagination settings using the spreadsheet, you can use the Bulk Edit tool, which allows you to edit multiple courses at once. This means that you can edit any field in hundreds or thousands of courses with a few clicks.

In this example, we will edit all our courses, so we need to open the Bulk Edit tool.

Now you need to select these values in order to change the course pagination:

• Select the rows that you want to update: Edit all the rows from my current search
• What field do you want to edit: Custom Pagination
• Select type of edit: Set value
• Replace existing value with this value: Select Default or Custom. In this example, we will select Default.
• Click on Execute Now.

Important: Since we selected Default we don’t need to edit the Lessons per page and Topics per page columns. But if you select Custom, you can open the Bulk Edit tool and select these values:

• Select the rows that you want to update: Edit all the rows from my current search
• What field do you want to edit: Lessons per page | Topics per page (apply one bulk edit at a time)
• Select type of edit: Set value
• Replace existing value with this value: Enter the number of lessons / topics per page.
• Click on Execute Now.

Managing your LearnDash LMS courses with WP Sheet Editor – Courses is a piece of cake. You can apply this any any other bulk edit to your courses, lessons, quizzes, topics, etc.
