Managing Orders
Once a student has placed an order, the access to the course in not given untill the order has been marked as complete.
If the student uses Paypal as payment mode then the order is marked complete when user migrates from the thank you page. So, Paypal as payment mode works as expected which we have tested on the Demo site as well. However, same is not valid for other Payment modes.
For Payment Modes like Bank Transfer, Cheque the Administrator has to Manually Approve orders in WP Admin -> WooCommerce -> Orders Section
To Approve an order Administrator clicks on the Tick in front of the order to mark the order complete. Once the order is marked complete only then the Student gets access to the course.
