How do I get rid of the teachers' names on my course descriptions?

  • By default Moodle will show names of teachers on course descriptions.If you don't want this, uncheck the role in Settings>Site Administration>Appearance>Course contacts

How do I add the names of non-editing teachers to my course descriptions?

  • By default Moodle will only show names of teachers on course descriptions.If you want to add other roles, check the role in Settings>Site Administration>Appearance>Course contacts

Some of my courses have the course summaries showing but some only have an information icon.Why?

  • Categories which have fewer than ten courses will show the full summary but those with more will only show the information icon. If you want them all to show the full summary then change the number to a number lower in Settings>Site Administration>Front Page>Front page settings. The courses will then display over more than one page but with the full summary.

Why can I only add one hyperlink to a page or label?

You are probably using Internet Explorer 8 or later. Try either switching to Firefox or click the icon to change to Compatibility mode (which is in effect Internet Explorer 7) and then you will be able to make more than one link.


The edit icon of my topic summary is "stuck" and I can't access it to edit it.

  • This often happens if something copied and pasted from another source, such as MS Word has corrupted your topic summary. This forum post suggests three possible solutions.

How can I change Weekly Outline or Topic Outline to the name of the course?

This can only be done by changing the code, so if you are comfortable with theming, see https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Themes_2.0_How_to_change_%27Topic_outline%27_and_%27Weekly_outline%27_to_Page_heading
