Activity Feed

Overview

The activity feed shows a live stream of learning activity happening across your site. You can see enrollments, course completions, quiz submissions, assignment uploads, and more — all in one place, updated in real time.

How to Access

Click Activity in your dashboard sidebar to open the activity feed.


What the Feed Shows

Each item in the feed includes the user’s photo, a description of what happened, and when it happened.

The feed tracks these types of events:

  • A student enrolled in a course
  • A student completed a course
  • A student completed a lesson
  • A student completed a topic
  • A student submitted a quiz
  • A student uploaded an assignment
  • A student submitted an essay answer

What You See Depends on Your Role

The feed automatically shows you relevant activity:

Your RoleWhat You See
AdministratorAll activity across the entire site
InstructorActivity from students in your courses
Group LeaderActivity from students in your groups
StudentYour own activity only

Loading More Activity

The feed loads your most recent activity first. Scroll down and click Load More to see older entries.


The Live Feed Panel

In addition to the dedicated Activity tab, there is also a live feed panel that floats alongside your dashboard on every tab. This lets you keep an eye on activity without navigating away from what you’re doing.

Administrators can turn the live feed panel on or off, and can disable it for specific roles.


Enabling and Disabling the Feed

Turn Off the Live Feed for Everyone

  1. Go to WP Admin > LearnDash Dashboard > General Settings
  2. Find Dashboard Components
  3. Check Disable Live Feed
  4. Click Save Changes

Turn Off the Live Feed for Specific Roles

  1. Go to WP Admin > LearnDash Dashboard > General Settings
  2. Find Disable Live Feed for Roles
  3. Select the roles that should not see the live feed panel
  4. Click Save Changes

Users who have the live feed disabled still see their dashboard normally — they just won’t see the live feed panel on the side.
