Reign Sensei Addon

Running Sensei LMS alongside a BuddyPress community on a generic theme means two separate experiences that don't reinforce each other. Reign Sensei Addon styles all Sensei pages to match your Reign theme, integrates course reviews into member profiles, adds Sensei-specific widgets, and lets individual creators and educational institutions run both social and learning features from one polished interface.

v1.9.0 Latest

July 16, 2026
New 1 Fix 5 Security 2 Dev 1 Compat 1 Note 2

New

  • Bundled translations for Arabic, German, German (formal), Spanish, French, Italian and Dutch. These are a machine-translated first pass rather than a reviewed translation; refine them per site in Loco Translate.

Fix

  • Deactivating Sensei LMS while this addon stayed active returned a white screen to every visitor, and the site owner only found out when they next opened wp-admin. The addon now stops loading when Sensei is inactive, so the site keeps serving normally.
  • Saving the Sensei settings tab no longer wipes every other Reign addon's settings when Reign is not the active theme. The handler now reads the shared reign_options fresh and updates only the sensei section instead of writing back the theme-populated global.
  • The group course-activity screen no longer shows activities the site administrator turned off (the setting is read strictly instead of loosely), and the activity fieldset is escaped through wp_kses_post before output instead of being flushed raw.
  • Translations now load on init instead of plugins_loaded, so WordPress 6.7+ no longer warns that translations loaded too early.
  • The course-price "Free" label is now translatable.

Security

  • Added direct-access guards to every PHP file that lacked one.
  • The settings tab-state nonce is read isset-safe and unslashed/sanitized before verification.

Dev

  • The sensei settings section is always stored as an array, so readers can index it safely even after a save with no fields checked.

Compat

  • Requires at least is now WordPress 6.5 (was 3.0.1) and Requires PHP is now 8.0 (previously undeclared). Tested up to WordPress 7.0. Both floors are declared in the plugin header, so a site below them is refused the update instead of fataling on it. Check the PHP version on older sites before advising a customer to update.

Note

  • The [sensei_teachers] listing counts each teacher's courses with a count-only query instead of loading every course object; the displayed count is unchanged.
  • Course review analytics are computed once per request instead of re-running the review query several times while a single course page renders.

v1.8.0

June 18, 2026

Fix
