CVE-2024-12127

<p>Sikshya LMS — WordPress learning management plugin for online courses, quizzes, Stripe/PayPal checkout, certificates, and learner dashboards on your domain.</p> <p><strong>Sikshya LMS</strong> is a <strong>WordPress LMS</strong> (learning management system) for educators and creators who want students to enroll, learn, and pay without leaving the site. It installs like other WordPress plugins: you control hosting, data, and branding. The free core lets you launch a real course catalog, sell when you are ready, and upgrade to <strong>Sikshya Pro</strong> when you need automation and advanced add-ons.</p> <h3>At a glance</h3> <ul> <li><strong>Sell</strong> — Free or paid online courses with Stripe and PayPal, coupons, and orders via <a href="https://mantrabrain.com/plugins/sikshya-lms/features/native-checkout/?utm_source=wporg&amp;utm_medium=readme&amp;utm_campaign=feature_native_checkout" rel="nofollow ugc">native checkout</a> in the free core.</li> <li><strong>Teach</strong> — Visual <a href="https://mantrabrain.com/plugins/sikshya-lms/features/course-builder/?utm_source=wporg&amp;utm_medium=readme&amp;utm_campaign=feature_course_builder" rel="nofollow ugc">course builder</a>, structured curriculum, <a href="https://mantrabrain.com/plugins/sikshya-lms/features/video-text-lessons/?utm_source=wporg&amp;utm_medium=readme&amp;utm_campaign=feature_video_text_lessons" rel="nofollow ugc">video &amp;

advanced automation, marketplace, and reporting unlock with <strong>Sikshya Pro</strong> when you are ready to scale.</li> <li><strong>WordPress-native</strong> — Courses, lessons, quizzes, and questions follow familiar custom post types and capabilities, with REST-oriented services where documented—so agencies and developers can extend predictably.</li> <li><strong>Compatible with your stack</strong> — Works with the WordPress block editor (Gutenberg), Classic Editor, and popular page builders such as Elementor and Divi alongside your existing theme.</li> </ul> <h3>Self-hosted WordPress LMS — curriculum, quizzes, checkout, and certificates</h3> <p>Install Sikshya on <strong>your</strong> WordPress site to keep ownership of course content, learner records, and payments—without renting a separate SaaS LMS just to deliver training.</p> <p><strong>In plain English:</strong> you create courses in the WordPress admin; learners open your course pages on the front of your site, track progress in their account, and complete quizzes or assignments you publish.</p> <p>Use Sikshya for coaching, professional training, customer education, internal onboarding, or the start of a course marketplace—with full control of content, branding, and revenue.</p> <h3>New to WordPress LMS plugins?</h3> <ul> <li><strong>No code required</strong> to publish lessons and quizzes—you work inside Sikshya’s admin screens like other WordPress plugins.</li> <li><strong>Your theme</strong> controls fonts and many layout basics; Sikshya adds course templates and learner views so selling and learning stay consistent.</li> <li><strong>Start small:</strong> create one course, one short lesson, and one quiz; invite a test student account before you invite paying customers.</li> <li><strong>Payments are optional:</strong> offer free courses first, then connect Stripe or PayPal when you sell.</li> </ul> <h3>Who is Sikshya for?</h3> <ul> <li><strong>Coaches, consultants, and creators</strong> shipping paid programs without hiring a platform team.</li> <li><strong>Training companies &amp; academies</strong> replacing spreadsheets with enrollments, progress, and assessments.</li> <li><strong>Teams doing internal training</strong> who need completion tracking and light certification.</li> <li><strong>Agencies</strong> standardizing one dependable LMS layer across client sites (including multisite when configured carefully).</li> </ul> <h3>Extended use cases</h3> <ul> <li><strong>Blended learning</strong> — Self-paced lessons plus scheduled touchpoints (extended live tooling ships in Pro where applicable).</li> <li><strong>Customer education</strong> — Product training and onboarding academies tied to your brand site.</li> <li><strong>Community &amp; cohort programs</strong> — Clear curriculum and progress signals; pair with your favorite community plugins as needed.</li> </ul> <h3>Top features (free core)</h3> <p>Each headline below links to its dedicated feature page on the Sikshya site.</p> <p><strong><a href="https://mantrabrain.com/plugins/sikshya-lms/features/course-builder/?utm_source=wporg&amp;utm_medium=readme&amp;utm_campaign=feature_course_builder" rel="nofollow ugc">Course Builder</a></strong> — curriculum + chapters</p> <ul> <li>Unlimited courses, lessons, and quizzes (within your hosting limits).</li> <li>Structured curriculum with sections/chapters and drag-and-drop style ordering.</li> <li>Course landing content: descriptions, FAQs, announcements, preview lessons.</li> <li>Course archive with search and filters aligned to your theme.</li> </ul> <p><strong><a href="https://mantrabrain.com/plugins/sikshya-lms/features/video-text-lessons/?utm_source=wporg&amp;utm_medium=readme&amp;utm_campaign=feature_video_text_lessons" rel="nofollow ugc">Video &amp;
