The LearnDash + Breakdance plugin provides a compatibility layer between the LearnDash LMS (sfwd-lms) plugin and the Breakdance Builder. It resolves fatal PHP errors and silent data-handling bugs that arise when both plugins are active together, particularly when WordPress core tightened strict type enforcement in version 6.7+.
LearnDash shortcodes (e.g. A companion course to the DBT Skills Practice Through Art Workbook for Youth & Young Adults.

"12,45,67" to WP_Query arguments that require a proper PHP array. WordPress 6.7+ enforces strict typing on array_map(), causing a fatal error. This plugin intercepts those arguments via pre_get_posts and normalizes them to integer arrays before WP_Query processes them.
Where LearnDash exposes the ld_before_course_list_query_args filter, this plugin also hooks in to normalize the following array-type arguments at the source: post__in, post__not_in, author__in, author__not_in, tag__in, tag__not_in, category__in, category__not_in.
When Breakdance renders a page server-side that contains a LearnDash shortcode, fatal errors in the shortcode bubble up and crash the entire page render. This plugin wraps shortcode output in a safe execution buffer to catch and log these gracefully rather than crashing the page.
Breakdance’s ACF dynamic data integration uses require_once to load field-type handlers. If any file is missing (e.g. after a partial update), the site goes down entirely. This plugin registers a pre-load check and logs missing files rather than letting PHP throw a fatal.
/wp-content/plugins/learndash-breakdance/.| Option | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
ldb_enable_query_fix |
1 (enabled) | Normalizes WP_Query array args from strings via pre_get_posts |
ldb_enable_ld_filter_fix |
1 (enabled) | Normalizes args via ld_before_course_list_query_args filter |
ldb_enable_shortcode_guard |
1 (enabled) | Wraps Breakdance shortcode SSR output in error recovery buffer |
ldb_enable_debug_log |
0 (disabled) | Logs normalization events to the WordPress debug log |
If the site is completely down, you may not be able to activate via WP Admin. Activate by renaming the plugin folder to trigger WordPress auto-deactivation of the broken plugin, then re-upload and rename back, and activate this compatibility plugin before re-activating LearnDash or Breakdance.
The normalization filters cast all IDs to integers using intval(). Verify that the IDs you are passing to the shortcode attributes are numeric. Non-numeric values will become 0 and silently exclude those posts.
Enable WP_DEBUG_LOG in wp-config.php and turn on the debug log option in plugin settings. Normalization events will appear in wp-content/debug.log prefixed with [LDB].
Yes. All hooks check for the presence of relevant functions or plugins before acting. The plugin is safe to leave active even if LearnDash is deactivated.
Yes, same as above. The Breakdance-specific guards only hook in when Breakdance classes are detected.
Yes — this plugin is a compatibility shim, not a permanent replacement for keeping plugins up to date. Update LearnDash as soon as an update is available that addresses these issues.
