## Description

**PressPrimer Assignment** is a professional assignment submission and grading plugin
that gives WordPress educators everything they need to collect student work, provide
meaningful feedback, and track grades, all without juggling email attachments, shared
drives, or clunky LMS add-ons.

Students get a clean, focused submission experience. Teachers get a centralized 
grading dashboard. And you keep full control of your data on your own WordPress 
site.

**This is a genuinely free plugin.** Unlimited assignments, unlimited submissions,
full grading tools, LMS integration, and email notifications are all included at
no cost. We earn upgrades by building specialized features worth paying for, not
by crippling what you get for free.

#### Why PressPrimer Assignment?

Built-in assignment tools in WordPress LMS plugins are often afterthoughts, limited
to basic file uploads with no real grading workflow, limited feedback options, and
dated interfaces. Dedicated assignment platforms charge monthly fees with per-student
pricing that gets expensive fast.

PressPrimer Assignment delivers a focused, polished assignment workflow with the
features educators actually need:

 * **Flexible Submission Types** – Accept file uploads, rich text submissions, or
   let students choose. Support for PDF, DOCX, TXT, RTF, ODT, and image files out
   of the box.
 * **Grade Without Leaving WordPress** – A dedicated grading queue with a side-by-
   side interface: the student’s document renders on the left while you score and
   write feedback on the right. Built-in viewers for PDF, Word documents, images,
   and text files mean you never have to download, open, and track files on your
   desktop.
 * **Native LMS Integration** – Works with LearnDash, Tutor LMS, LifterLMS, and 
   LearnPress. Assignments appear in lessons, passing grades trigger lesson completion,
   and instructor roles are mapped automatically.
 * **Secure File Handling** – Six-layer file validation and permission-based file
   serving. Student files are never directly accessible via URL.
 * **Customizable Email Notifications** – Automatic emails for submission confirmation,
   grade release, and new submission alerts. Fully customizable templates with token
   placeholders.
 * **Three Professional Themes** – Default, Modern, and Minimal themes that match
   the PressPrimer Quiz visual style.

 * **Corporate trainers** gathering certification documents and project deliverables

 * **Online course entrepreneurs** selling courses with graded assignments

#### Built-in Integrations

PressPrimer Assignment automatically detects and integrates with popular WordPress
LMS plugins:

**LearnDash:** Attach assignments to lessons or topics via the editor sidebar. Passing
an assignment can automatically mark the lesson or topic complete. LearnDash Group
Leaders are granted teacher-level permissions to create assignments and grade their
students’ submissions. The “Mark Complete” button is hidden until a required assignment
is passed.

**Tutor LMS:** Attach assignments to lessons via the course builder. Passing an 
assignment can auto-complete the lesson and trigger course completion when all lessons
are done. Tutor LMS Instructors are granted teacher-level permissions. If both PressPrimer
Quiz and PressPrimer Assignment are attached to a lesson, both must be passed before
the lesson completes.

**LifterLMS:** Attach assignments to lessons via meta box. Passing an assignment
can auto-complete the lesson and course. Works with open/free courses, enrolled 
students, and instructor roles.

**LearnPress:** Attach assignments to lessons via the lesson settings panel. Link
passing an assignment to lesson and course completion. Works with open courses, 
enrolled students, and instructor roles.

**Uncanny Automator:** Four triggers available—user submits an assignment, user 
is graded, user passes, user fails. Each trigger includes a full set of tokens (
assignment title, score, feedback, student info, grader info, and more) for use 
in automated workflows.

All integrations are bundled in the free version.

   spelling variants.

#### Documentation & Support

 * [Knowledge Base](https://pressprimer.com/knowledge-base/pressprimer-assignment/)

#### Source Code & Development

The full uncompressed source code for all JavaScript and CSS files is available 
in our public GitHub repository:

 * [GitHub Repository](https://github.com/PressPrimer/pressprimer-assignment)

The `/src` directory contains all unminified source files. The plugin uses webpack
for building production assets. To rebuild from source:

 1. Clone the repository
 2. Run `npm install` to install dependencies
 3. Run `npm run build` to compile assets

### Privacy

PressPrimer Assignment stores student submission data (files, text, grades, and 
feedback) in your WordPress database under your full control. No data is transmitted
to external servers. All submitted files are stored in a protected directory under`
wp-content/uploads/ppa-submissions/` and served via PHP with permission checks.

The plugin integrates with the WordPress Privacy API:

 * **Tools > Export Personal Data** — includes all submissions, grades, feedback,
   and uploaded file metadata for the requested user.
 * **Tools > Erase Personal Data** — permanently deletes all submissions, grades,
   and uploaded files for the requested user.

Administrators can permanently delete all plugin data (database tables, uploaded
files, options, and user meta) via Settings > Advanced > “Remove all data on uninstall”
before uninstalling the plugin.

## FAQ

### Is this really free, or is it a limited trial?

It’s genuinely free and not locked down. PressPrimer Assignment includes unlimited
assignments, unlimited submissions, full grading tools, LMS integrations, email 
notifications, and three professional themes in the free version. We believe in 
earning upgrades by offering genuinely valuable features, not by crippling the free
experience.

### Does this work with LearnDash?

Yes. PressPrimer Assignment integrates natively with LearnDash. Attach assignments
to lessons or topics, and passing grades can automatically trigger lesson completion.
LearnDash Group Leaders receive teacher-level permissions to create assignments 
and grade submissions. The integration activates automatically when LearnDash is
detected.

### Does this work with Tutor LMS?

Yes. Assignments integrate with Tutor LMS lessons via the editor sidebar and course
builder. Passing grades can auto-complete lessons, and course completion triggers
when all lessons are done. Tutor LMS Instructors receive teacher-level permissions
automatically.

### Does this work with LifterLMS or LearnPress?

Yes. Both LifterLMS and LearnPress are fully supported. Attach assignments to lessons,
and passing grades can auto-complete lessons and courses. Instructor roles are mapped
automatically. These integrations were added in version 2.0.0.

### Can I use this without an LMS plugin?

Absolutely. PressPrimer Assignment works as a standalone plugin. Use the `[pressprimer_assignment]`
shortcode to embed assignments on any page or post. The LMS integrations are a bonus
that enable automatically when an LMS is detected—they don’t restrict standalone
use.

### Does this work with PressPrimer Quiz?

Yes. Both plugins are part of the PressPrimer suite and are designed to work together.
When both are active, they share the Groups infrastructure and Teacher role for 
a unified experience. Each plugin also works independently.

### What file types can students upload?

By default: PDF, DOCX, TXT, RTF, ODT, JPG, JPEG, PNG, and GIF. Administrators can
configure allowed file types per assignment. All uploads go through six layers of
security validation including MIME type verification and dangerous file blocking.

### Can students submit text instead of files?

Yes. Each assignment can be configured to accept file uploads, text/rich text submissions,
or let the student choose. Text submissions use a TinyMCE editor with live word 
and character counts, auto-save drafts, and a 50,000-character limit.

### How does the grading interface work?

The grading interface uses a side-by-side layout. The student’s submitted document
renders directly in the left panel. PDF, DOCX, images, and text files all display
without downloading. The right panel has fields for score, pass/fail status, and
rich text feedback, plus a reference panel showing the assignment’s grading guidelines.

### Can I customize the email notifications?

Yes. Each email type (submission confirmation, grade notification, admin alert) 
has its own customizable subject and body template. Templates support token placeholders
for dynamic content like student name, assignment title, score, and feedback. You
can also set a custom from name, from email, and upload a logo for the email header.

### 󠀁[If You Grade Assignments in LearnDash, Download This Plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/if-you-grade-assignments-in-learndash-download-this-plugin/)󠁿

Finally, a WordPress/LearnDash assignment plugin that does not make grading harder
than it needs to be. PressPrimer’s Assignment plugin is outstanding. The instructor
grading flow is smooth, intuitive, and clearly built by people who understand what
instructors actually need. The side-by-side, in-browser grading interface is where
this plugin really stands out. It is clean, seamless, and works exactly the way 
it should. Honestly, I have no complaints, which is rare. The fact that this plugin
is free makes it even more impressive. If anyone is looking for a better way to 
manage and grade assignments in WordPress and LearnDash, this is absolutely worth
downloading.
