Note: This Add On does not include any update scripts to manage enrollment for existing members. For the LearnDash and LifterLMS modules, all members who have an existing membership level will not be automatically enrolled in courses. Course protection and enrollment is hooked in the level change event: only new members or members that cancel or change their level will be updated. You must manually add and remove current members from protected courses.
The default (built-in) module does not rely on enrollment and will not require any update script.

* BUG FIX: Fixed issue where rewrite slug prefix would default to pmpro_course sometimes. The slug prefix should always be course (or course-2/etc if there are other plugins using course already). Flushing the pretty permalink rewrite rules can fix issues.
