Your Questions, Answered
Quick answers to the most commonly asked questions about TutorPress.
Contact UsWhy is a Gutenberg-based course builder preferable to Tutor LMS’s Frontend Course Builder?
Frontend builders can be beneficial for course marketplaces where instructors lack backend access, but for administrators, agencies, and content teams who already work in the WordPress backend daily, the workflow in Tutor LMS creates unnecessary friction. Granting limited backend access to instructors is also a viable option, and there are good reasons to do so.
Tutor LMS’s course builder relies on a basic version of TinyMCE, which is an open source rich-text editor with known conflicts in WordPress. Gutenberg is a feature-rich, drag-and-drop block editor built into WordPress, designed for modern layouts, reusable components, and a much richer content-building experience.
TutorPress is built on WordPress standards, and works seamlessly with the wider WordPress ecosystem, including thousands of other Gutenberg-based plugins. By contrast, Tutor LMS’s course builder is a custom built container that isolates it from its WordPress-based environment. It’s not even a competition, and now it doesn’t have to be.
Can a Tutor LMS update break TutorPress?
There’s always some risk in an open-source ecosystem like WordPress, but TutorPress is designed to minimize compatibility issues by staying mostly independent of Tutor LMS internals and relying only on critical, minimal integration points.
Tutor LMS’s frontend course builder also remains available as an optional fallback editor when using Gutenberg via TutorPress as your primary course builder. If a Tutor LMS update ever affects TutorPress, you can use Tutor LMS’s frontend course builder temporarily to access all of your courses while we ship an update.
Quick tip! You can optionally leave the “Remove Button to Frontend Builder in Course Editor” setting disabled so you and your instructors always have access to Tutor LMS’s builder.
Can I choose when to use Gutenberg vs Tutor LMS’s frontend course builder?
Yes. TutorPress provides granular settings so you can choose when and where to use Gutenberg versus Tutor LMS’s frontend course builder. TutorPress gives back user control so your workflow fits your team, your instructors, and your course format.
Will TutorPress match new Tutor LMS builder features immediately?
Not always. As an add-on, TutorPress may trail new Tutor LMS frontend builder features. We do strive to stay aligned with Tutor LMS, but our approach is to bring features to Gutenberg when they’ve matured. You can create a feature request or contact us if there is something that you would like to see.
How does TutorPress integrate with Tutor LMS?
TutorPress integrates through a WordPress-native REST API under the `/tutorpress/v1/*` namespace, with most data integration flowing through Tutor LMS meta fields. This reduces reliance on legacy code by replacing outdated AJAX patterns with a modern WordPress REST API.
