Thinkific

WordPress Single Sign On for Thinkific

Let WordPress users access Thinkific without a second login.

Connects WordPress and Thinkific so users log in once and access courses without creating a separate account. Handles role mapping between platforms, multisite network support, and customizable redirect rules after login. Includes bulk user sync to backfill existing WordPress users into Thinkific in one operation.

What it does

  • WordPress-to-Thinkific single sign-on with automatic account creation and syncing
  • Role mapping that translates WordPress user roles to Thinkific groups and permissions
  • Multisite network support: configure different SSO rules per site in the network
  • Login redirect customization: choose where users land after SSO (course catalog, dashboard, specific lesson)
  • Session timeout handling that keeps WordPress and Thinkific sessions in sync
  • Bulk user sync to enroll existing WordPress users into Thinkific without individual setup
  • Seamless redirect after login with fallback to Thinkific dashboard

Who it's for

  • Sites that use WordPress as the front door and Thinkific for courses
  • Membership sites that want unified login across platforms
  • Organizations migrating from standalone Thinkific to a WordPress-integrated experience
  • Multisite networks running separate course catalogs under one SSO umbrella
