Sensei Review: Transforming WordPress into a Dynamic Learning Platform

The Sensei LMS plugin allows WordPress users to create and sell online courses without relying on a separate platform. Free and Pro versions are available, so users can get a feel for Sensei before committing. While Sensei Pro isn’t quite as feature-rich as the leading standalone learning management systems, keeping everything within WordPress offers major benefits.

peacock butterfly & Bumblebee on knapweeed flower

Afternoon, Kilpatrick Braes. Very hot. Buzzards mewing & raven croaking in blue sky. Quite a lot of peacock butterflies, mostly on downy thistles. A couple of red admiral & fritillaries flying by. A few whites by the road. Heather out, braes purple. At the turn a lizard wriggled off over the grass.

Read: Havoc by Rebecca Wait ★★★★☆📚
Collapsing girls boarding school, where the buildings and most of the characters are broken. Illness, hysteria & comedy ensue. Mostly through the eyes of the most normal mistress & Ida, new 6th year fleeing from a Scottish islands scandal. I raced through.

I’ve noticed that the old edutalk.cc domain is broken on Radio Edutalk. I had a a couple of hundred or so links on this site to the .cc domain. Just used Better Search Replace – WordPress plugin to change edutalk.cc to edutalk.info which reported:

During the search/replace, 1 tables were searched, with 435 cells changed in 260 updates.

. Seems to have done the trick, I limited the search to the post content. Very much appreciate the plugin authors.
