Build an Online Course with AI
Hand the AI your outline and get a full LifterLMS course skeleton, sections and lessons in order, without touching the course builder.
Prerequisites
A connected site. Uses the free LifterLMS plugin. The AI can install it on most hosts; some managed hosts block plugin installs, so install it from wp-admin first if yours does.
I want to build an online course on my WordPress site with LifterLMS. If the LifterLMS plugin is not installed and active, tell me and wait for my go-ahead before installing the free version. Then create a course called [course title] with this outline: [paste your sections with the lessons under each one]. Create the course, each section in order, and each lesson under its section, all as drafts. Do not publish anything and do not delete anything. If my outline has no sections, create one section named after the course and put every lesson under it in order; do not invent section names I did not give you. When you are done, verify by re-fetching each item you created by its ID (LifterLMS list endpoints hide drafts unless you pass status=draft), then show me the course, sections, and lessons in order with their IDs and statuses, and give me the wp-admin edit link for the course.

Skip the copy-paste. Just ask your AI for the “Build an Online Course with AI” recipe, or describe the task, and WPVibe runs these steps on your own site.
You know your subject, and the outline may already be sitting in a doc somewhere. What keeps the course from existing is the setup: an LMS plugin to configure, then a course builder where every section and every lesson gets created one click at a time. For a ten-lesson course that is an afternoon of clicking before you have written a single word of teaching material.
WPVibe drives LifterLMS through the REST API that ships in the free plugin, authenticated as your own WordPress login, so there are no API keys to create first. Give the AI your outline and it builds the whole skeleton in one pass: the course, its sections, and every lesson in order. Everything is created as a draft, so nothing appears on your site until you have reviewed it and published it yourself.
Paste the prompt with your course title and outline. When the AI reports back, open the course in wp-admin to check the structure, then write the real lesson content before you publish. If the AI installed LifterLMS fresh, run the LifterLMS setup wizard before publishing so the catalog and checkout pages exist. One caution: LifterLMS has no trash for courses, sections, or lessons, so anything you ask the AI to delete is gone for good.
Outcome
A draft LifterLMS course with every section and lesson in place, invisible to visitors until you add content and publish it.
