External services

This plugin connects to Course Studio (https://cforj.studio), operated by cforj, to embed interactive courses and SCORM lessons.

What data is sent, and when

  • When a visitor loads a page with an embedded course, their browser downloads the Course Studio Embed SDK from https://app.cforj.studio/api/embed-sdk/coursestudio.umd.js and the course content from https://app.cforj.studio/embed/<course_id>. Standard HTTP request metadata (IP address, user agent, referer) is sent as part of this request.
  • When you click „Open Course Studio dashboard” in WordPress admin, a new tab opens at https://app.cforj.studio/integration with your WordPress user ID and site URL as URL parameters so the install can be linked to your Course Studio account.
  • The plugin does not transmit post content, visitor emails, or any other personal data.

Policies

  • Terms of Service: https://cforj.studio/terms
  • Privacy Policy: https://cforj.studio/privacy

By embedding a course you agree to these terms on behalf of your site visitors.

Najczęściej zadawane pytania

Do I need a Course Studio account?

Yes. Courses are hosted on Course Studio. A free Community account is enough to start embedding.

Is this plugin free?

Yes. The plugin is GPL-2.0-or-later. Your Course Studio account plan is separate — there is a permanently free tier.

Does it work with the classic editor?

Yes. Use the shortcode: [course_studio id="YOUR_COURSE_ID"].

How do I get a course ID?

Open your course in Course Studio — the ID appears in the URL and on the course card in your dashboard.

Does it track completions?

Completions are tracked inside Course Studio. Open your course’s Analytics dashboard to see results. SCORM exports also report progress to any SCORM-compatible LMS.

What data is sent to Course Studio?

Course Studio only receives the course ID you embed. Visitor identifiers are not sent unless you explicitly pass a learner ID via the SDK API.

I tested several LMS plugins before finding Course Studio, and most of them felt heavy, outdated, or too complicated for simple onboarding and training content. What I liked here is the approach: you create interactive courses in cforj Studio and embed them into WordPress in minutes. The quizzes, branching scenarios, flashcards, and drag & drop interactions work surprisingly smoothly, and everything is responsive out of the box. The plugin itself is simple, which is actually a plus. Gutenberg block worked immediately, embeds resize correctly, and I didn’t have to deal with iframe hacks or styling issues. I especially see value for SaaS onboarding, customer education, and internal training portals. Feels much lighter and more modern than traditional WordPress LMS solutions.
