Real Time Learning Chat

Bring live conversations into courses

  • A chat room right next to the course keeps students talking, asking, and staying — without leaving the page.
  • Open a chat room for any course, or set up custom group rooms for smaller teams.
  • Only students enrolled in the course can see or join — no outside noise.

Give students real ways to react and reply

  • Quotes, reactions, and pins keep the conversation clear even when everyone’s talking at once.
  • Reply directly to one message with quote replies, so nothing gets lost in the scroll.
  • React with emoji, tag classmates or instructors with @mentions, and edit or remove your own messages.
  • Pin important announcements to the top, so no one misses the key info.

Moderation tools built for instructors, not just admins

  • Give instructors the same moderation power admins have, without needing a separate tool.
  • Mute a disruptive student for a set time, or ban them outright with a logged reason.
  • Lock a room instantly if a conversation needs to pause.
  • View and manage every course’s chat room from one tab inside the instructor profile — no digging through settings.

All Your Questions
Answered

You have questions.
We have answers.

Do students need a separate account or third-party login to use the chat?

No separate account is needed. The add-on uses existing WordPress and LearnPress user accounts and permissions automatically.

What messaging transports are supported?

The add-on supports WP Polling (works out-of-the-box on standard hosting) and Pusher Channels (for instant WebSocket messaging on high-traffic sites).

Can instructors moderate chat rooms and handle disruptive users?

Yes. Instructors and moderators can mute users with custom duration timers, ban accounts, delete messages, or lock entire chat rooms when necessary.

Are chat rooms automatically restricted to enrolled students?

Yes. Course chat rooms automatically verify LearnPress course enrollment so only enrolled students and course instructors can read and participate.

What are the plugin requirements?

You need WordPress 6.3 or higher, PHP 7.4 or higher, and LearnPress version 4.3.2.7 or higher active on your site.

  1. Wanjiru Kamau

    Boosted our course engagement
    Since adding the chat room students ask more questions and finish courses at a higher rate, I like communication with my students. I’be been using this plugin in many courses. It’s simple, robust and it does a great job! Highly recommended.

  2. Ingrid Halvorsen

    Enrollment based access works perfectly
    Only enrolled students can see the chat room exactly the kind of access control we needed.
    Please develop more features in the next updates.

    Being able to mute or ban disruptive users with a reason log keeps our course chat rooms clean and on topic.
