Where in the admin design upgrade for LearnDash

It’s common to feel stuck when your course design doesn’t appear right or is difficult to manage from the administrative side. Maybe the layout seems too plain, the fonts are challenging to read, or things just don’t fit your brand.

These minor design problems can affect how your course feels to students and how confident you feel running it. If the admin tools aren’t flexible or user-friendly, it may require more time and effort to make your content look professional

The solution is to use tools and updates that offer greater control over design options, making it easier to customize your course just the way you want. Need help setting it up? Schedule our free consultation today and get expert guidance!

Use a Visual Customizer for Easier Design Changes

With plugins like Elementor, Kadence, or similar design tools, you can:

Change font sizes and colors for better readability
Customize buttons, headings, and background styles
Adjust spacing and layout for a cleaner look
Match your design to your branding without touching code

These customizers simplify the design like a pro, even if you’re not a tech expert.

Check for Theme and Plugin Settings

Sometimes, the way your course looks depends on your WordPress theme. Go to Appearance > Customize and look for settings like:

Typography
Color scheme
Button styles
Header and footer layout

Also, some themes include built-in LMS styling options. If you’re using a third-party LMS theme or plugin, you might find design settings directly inside that plugin’s menu, often under “Settings,” “Design,” or “Appearance.” Always save and preview your changes before publishing.

Adjust Layout for Better User Experience

A clean, user-friendly layout helps learners stay focused. Inside your admin area, look for options to:

Minimize clutter or too many blocks
Organize content with clear sections and headings
Add icons or visuals for easier navigation
Make sure the text is readable on all screen sizes

You don’t need a complicated layout. A simple, clean design with good spacing is easier for learners to follow—and easier for you to manage.
