Academy LMS integration
Academy LMS (https://wordpress.org/plugins/academy/) has been growing steadily since October 2018 and is now my go-to LMS having moved away from LearnDash. Please could you add this LMS, it's a great product. https://academylms.net/

Adding my vote here – the Academy 2.0 beta is light on its feet in the backend. Will be exploring further as I test LD replacements.
Does “accepted” mean an integration is planned? I’m seriously debating picking up a lifetime 10 site license for Academy while it’s so discounted – because LMS pricing is totally nuts.
“Accepted” means we’ve checked out the code and an integration is technically possible.
It looks good, but they still have a pretty low number of users. An integration on our end takes some effort so we want to make sure we’ll have at least a few paying customers who find it valuable.
We did MasterStudy as a training exercise for a new developer, but at the moment only one customer is using it, so that’s the kind of thing we try to avoid 😅
Completely understood. I took the Academy 10 site license, and I’m rolling it on 3 sites for now. I’m optimistic (and have fairly low expectations). 😎 Fingers crossed. Thanks for the response.
Let me just add that I’ve spent some time in the last week with both AcademyLMS and MasterStudy, including in their docs and speaking with their support. One one hand I can see why AcademyLMS hasn’t been integrated yet, and on the other hand it’s issues are remarkably similar to MasterStudy’s issue – and it’s been integrated. So overall I think AcademyLMS is still worthy of an WPFusion integration. Academy’s v2 rewrite is planned to be fully released next week.
Hi Jack, Academy LMS has WP Fusion in their planned Roadmap to integrate. Good news, have they reached out to you at all?

Great!
No I haven’t heard anything yet but I know Francisco, I’ll drop them a line to see if they need any help 🙂
We just went to start work on this, and unfortunately the Academy 2.0 update changed the admin interfaces… there’s no way we can add settings to the course or lesson pages 😞
Also, they’ve hijacked the WordPress admin menu, so we can’t add a custom menu item.
I see the WP Fusion task is listed as Up Next in their Trello board at https://trello.com/c/5MBlvvIR/65-wp-fusion . We’ll need to wait for them to either add the integration settings themselves, or add the hooks to the plugin so we can add it from our end.
We’ll update this request when we learn more.
