FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Everything You Need to Know About LearnDash Migration
Transparent answers to common questions about our LMS migration process, data safety, student continuity, and warranties.
No. We build and test your entire LearnDash platform on an isolated staging clone. Your live academy remains 100% operational, and students can continue watching lessons and taking quizzes. The final cutover and DNS switch occurs in a brief 15-minute maintenance window during off-peak hours.
Zero data is lost. Our automated ETL extraction scripts preserve completed topics, module progress percentages, individual quiz answer logs, and previously awarded certificate verification hashes with 100% database parity.
Active subscriptions are seamlessly preserved. We map existing Stripe customer IDs and recurring subscription tokens directly into WooCommerce Subscriptions. Your members will not be billed twice, and they will not have to re-enter credit card information.
Standard migrations (1 to 20 courses with up to 5,000 students) typically take 2 to 3 weeks including QA. Enterprise migrations with tens of thousands of active users, complex question banks, or custom third-party integrations take 4 to 6 weeks.
Whenever the source platform allows cryptographic hash export (such as WordPress-based LMSs or standard SQL), students keep their exact existing passwords. For closed SaaS platforms like Teachable or Thinkific where passwords cannot be extracted, we generate automated, one-click magic login links that verify the student's email and prompt an instant, painless password set.
Every migration includes our standard 60-Day Post-Launch Bug Warranty. If any data discrepancy, webhook sync issue, or edge-case bug appears within 60 days of go-live, our database engineers resolve it immediately at zero extra cost.
