LifterLMS 11.0 adds a dozen engagement triggers and a subscriptions tab for students.

◆Current state
LifterLMS 11.0.0 adds engagement triggers for course progress, low grades, repeated quiz failures, cancelled or expired enrollments, failed or refunded orders, and daily inactivity checks. Students get a My Subscriptions dashboard tab and per-transaction receipts, and admins get a combined transactions view with CSV export plus an Order Failed email. 11.0.1 followed a day later to add a missing Action Scheduler file.
◆Where it's heading
After the 10.x line built out REST endpoints and WordPress Abilities, then a Customers screen in 10.3.0, the 11.0 work pushes further into retention and commerce automation. The new triggers turn the engagement system into a rules engine for nudging students who stall or fail. Accessibility and theming changes, such as CSS custom properties and heading fixes, run alongside.
◆Prediction
Expect quick 11.0.x patch releases as sites upgrade to the new major, then more subscription and order tooling building on the transactions listing.
