Readme github.com/lotmanine/learndash-roadmap-plugin ↗

A custom WordPress plugin that turns a LearnDash course catalog into a visual, gamified roadmap and wires it into a real membership/CRM stack: LearnDash + Memberium + Keap.

Adapted from a real client engagement. Client name, domain, author, and all client data have been removed. The code is the deliverable; this is a sanitized showcase copy.

What it does

  • Visual roadmap of levels and items built on custom post types (roadmap_item) and a roadmap_level taxonomy.
  • Ownership-aware access gating. A single source of truth (is_roadmap_item_owned()) decides whether a user owns an item through two paths:
    1. LearnDash course access (default), or
    2. a Memberium/Keap tag check (fallback for items that are not LearnDash courses).
  • CRM tag automation. When a user completes a level (100% progress), the plugin applies the configured Keap tag through Memberium ([memb_set_tag] via do_shortcode()), so access flows through the site's existing Keap to Memberium to LearnDash chain instead of bypassing it.
  • External / "owned URL" items. Roadmap items can point at non-LearnDash destinations; get_course_or_item_url() resolves the right URL based on ownership (course content vs. sale page).
  • Elementor integration without code in the builder. body_class and post_class filters inject state classes (level-completed / level-pending, rm-item-owned / rm-item-not-owned, has-bonus-course, etc.) so designers toggle visibility purely with CSS / Elementor conditions.
  • 3-state bonus buttons ("Locked" / "Claim Your Reward" / "Go To Course") driven by completion state AND bonus ownership.
  • Admin UX: tooltip-documented fields on roadmap items and level taxonomy (bonus tag ID, ownership tag ID, owned URL, display-name overrides).

Why it is interesting engineering

  • Integrates three systems (LMS, membership, CRM) and keeps a single, consolidated ownership model rather than scattering access checks.
  • CRM writes go through the existing access pipeline (Keap tags via Memberium), not around it, so a level completion produces the same downstream behavior as any other tag grant.
  • Front-end visibility is data-driven through body_class/post_class, keeping logic in PHP and presentation in the page builder.
  • Full changelog in the plugin header documents the evolution from direct LearnDash enrollment to the tag-based CRM flow.
