With the Multiple Certificates feature, you can add multiple certificates to a course, group, lessons, and quizzes.
Creating certificates for lessons
- Under the LearnDash LMS goto Lessons
- Edit the lesson you want to add multiple certificates to, and use the required shortcode we provide if needed.
- Goto the settings of the Lesson
- In Display and Content options, enable lesson certificates
- Add one or more certificates to the lesson
- Once you have added all the certificates click on the update button
After completing a lesson, the student will be able to download the certificate by clicking the certificate icon available on the course page next to the lesson names. A pop-up will appear, allowing them to download the certificate.
Certificates can also be displayed on the All User Certificates page, if enabled. [Learn more about the All User Certificates page]
Note: If you are using the latest version of LearnDash with Modern UI (Beta) enabled and the “Course Page” toggle turned on under LearnDash Settings > General > Modern UI > Course Page: On, multiple certificates (including course and lesson certificates) may not be visible. To ensure users can access all their certificates, please use the shortcode: mcsld_user_certificates]
This will display all available certificates to the end user on a custom page.
Multiple Certificates to Lessons Shortcodes
Certificates for lessons can be created in the same way as they are created for course/group/quiz
The [usermeta] shortcode will work the same way when creating lesson certificates.
Following are the shortcodes that can be used for lesson information
For creating lesson certificates [lessoninfo] shortcodes can be used
- [lessoninfo show=”lesson_title”] – Displays the lesson Title
- [lessoninfo show=”lesson_url”] – Displays the lesson URL
- [lessoninfo show=”lesson_completed_on”] – Displays the date when the lesson was completed
For specifying the format of the date use shortcode parameter format=”required_format” eg [lessoninfo show=”lesson_completed_on” format=”required_format” ]
