Introduction
If your LearnDash lesson videos are missing the play/pause button, it is likely because the video control setting is disabled. This setting must be turned on for each individual lesson.
How to Enable the Play/Pause Button
- Log in to your WordPress Admin Dashboard.
- Navigate to LearnDash LMS > Lessons.
- Click Edit next to the lesson where you want to enable video controls.
- Scroll to the Settings tab within the lesson editor.
- Find the Display and Content Options section.
- Enable the Video Control Display toggle.
- Click Update to save your changes.
Once enabled, the play/pause button should appear on the video for learners.
Troubleshooting & FAQs
Q: Do I need to enable this for each lesson individually?
A: Yes. LearnDash requires the setting to be manually toggled per lesson where video playback controls are needed.
