Accessing Thrive Apprentice Settings

Understanding the General Settings
The General Settings section manages the basic settings of Thrive Apprentice on your website.
This section lets you manage the following:
- Course Page: Choose or create the main page on your WordPress site where your course index (list of available courses) will be displayed. You can also opt to skip this index page if you only have one published course.
- Slugs: Customize the URL structure (permalinks) for your courses, modules, lessons, and the course completion page. (e.g., yourdomain.com/courses/yourcourse-name)
- Auto-login: Enable this to automatically log users into their WordPress account after they sign up via a Thrive Leads or Thrive Architect opt-in form connected to WordPress user registration. (Note: This doesn’t apply to registrations via thirdparty checkouts like ThriveCart)
- Comments: Enable or disable WordPress comments on your course pages.
- Certificate Verification: If using Thrive Apprentice certificates, enable this to add unique serial numbers or QR codes for verification purposes. This creates a dedicated verification page on your site.

Login & Registration Page: Select or create the WordPress page that will host the login and registration forms for your students. You can customize this page using Thrive Architect.
Global Access Restriction Rules: Define default behaviors for three key scenarios:
- Non-Logged-In Users: What happens when someone not logged in tries to access protected content (e.g., redirect to login page, show custom content).
- Logged-In Users Without Access: What happens when a logged-in user tries to access content they haven’t purchased or been granted access to (e.g., redirect to a sales page, show custom content).
- Drip-Locked Content: What happens when a user with access tries to view content that is currently locked by a Drip schedule (e.g., show custom content explaining when it unlocks, redirect to course overview).
