FAQ
- How can I add more xAPI statements to the plugin?
-
You can create your own plugin and use the plugin’s hooks!
- How come nothing is being sent to the LRS after I activate the plugin?
-
The settings are defaulted so that nothing is sent by default. Please go to the dashboard and the WP xAPI settings page to configure what statements are sent.
- What is the queue for?
-
The queue is used for when for some reason, LRS can’t be reached, then statements meant to be sent will be added to the queue to be sent later in the admin screen.
