  1. I noticed on the Certificate animated gif you were using variables like $course.getName or something – are you able to link through to where I can find a full list of these variables that I can use in Elementor when creating the template?
    Thanks

      Hi Kosta,

      It is just a dummy certificate template, no such variables exists in LearnDash. However, you can easily use LearnDash certificate shortcodes instead of these variables to get data such as student name, quiz score or course title, etc. You can find these shortcodes by following this simple path, WP-admin > LearnDash > Certificates > Certificates Shortcodes.

  2. What WordPress Theme are you using? Astra? I followed along but after inserting the featured image, updating, and then viewing the resulting page, the featured image did not appear.

    Thanks,
    Brian

      Hi Brian,

      We were using the WordPress default theme and I understand that there are some theme specific issues also. We will write a post about some of the popular themes including Astra in a few days. However, if you need any urgent help, you may contact Astra/LearnDash support.
