Learndash Shortcodes

Introduction

This list of shortcodes was created for users of our Uncanny LP LearnDash system to provide easy access to available LearnDash shortcodes.

        It looks like the [usermeta field="first_name"] is broken on my site. Are there any known issues that may be causing this or should I submit a support ticket?

          If you’re an LP customer, please do submit a support ticket from your account on our site. If you’re a general LearnDash user, please note that the shortcode you mentioned is part of LearnDash and not something we at Uncanny Owl can support, but more information is available at https://support.learndash.com/articles/usermeta/ and I’m sure LearnDash can provide assistance.

      There is currently no front-end management of assignments available in LearnDash or in any of our plugins. It is something we’ve considered adding to the Uncanny LearnDash Groups plugin, but the feature isn’t in our near-term roadmap.

    in [[ld_profile]] appear 2 segments: info + registered course;
    How can I do so that only the registered courses segment appears?

      Hello Jose,

      It is possible to hide elements of the LearnDash profile by using css. In order to remove the User Profile info so that only the Course List remains add this css to either your main style sheet or to the “Additional CSS” tab found in Appearance > Customize:

      /** Hide user profile info **/
      #learndash_profile .profile_info {
      display: none !important;
      }

      /** Hide user profile heading text **/
      .learndash_profile_heading span {
      display: none !important;
      }

      /** Show learndash profile heading text **/
      span.ld_profile_course, span.ld_profile_status, span.ld_profile_certificate {
      display: inline-block;
      }

        Many thanks to the CSS code!
        but the /** Show learndash profile heading text **/ part does not work, the heading for courses is still unavailable.

        : )
        The code should be:
        /** Hide user profile info **/
        #learndash_profile .profile_info {
        display: none !important;
        }

        /** Hide user profile heading text **/
        .learndash_profile_heading span {
        display: none;
        }

        /** Show learndash profile heading text **/
        span.ld_profile_course, span.ld_profile_status, span.ld_profile_certificate {
        display: inline-block;
        }

      There is no shortcode per se, but for Group Leaders there are options like ProPanel from LearnDash, which can list users in a course in the front end, and certainly in our Uncanny LearnDash Groups plugin there’s a shortcode that can list all users in a course using a report table.

      Please note that we are not affiliated with LearnDash and that it’s their demo site. If you’re having issues with 404s, I would reach out to LearnDash directly if you’re having issues with their plugins. (You might try resaving permalinks from Settings > Permalinks though just in case there’s a permalink issue.)

    Hi there, trying to use the following code as suggested from you but is not working:
    [quizinfo show="cumulative_percentage" quiz_id="123"]

    Any idea why?

    Thanks

      Hi Giorgio, that shortcode is a native LearnDash shortcode, so unfortunately we don’t have insight into why it may not be working for you. Please reach out to LearnDash support to see if they can help you out.

    Hello is there a way to reorganize the Lesson Status list that is shown on the course page? Currently shows all of the lesson listed but for some reason the style is broken, meaning that the number of the lesson is shown in the different line and the circle that marks the status of the lesson is overlapping the lesson’s title.
    Hope you guys can help me with that.
    thank you

      Sounds like a conflict with the theme. If you’re outputting lessons using one of the modules in the Pro Toolkit, log a support ticket with more information and we can take a look. If you’re using stock LearnDash lesson output, they should be able to point you in the right direction.

    For the course grid, there is a link above that is supposed to tell us the order by options but it goes to some coding site…. what are the order by options. I want to order by the order that is set in WordPress for the classes

      Sorry Mike, it’s not clear if you mean the LearnDash Course Grid add-on (which has recently been changed) or our module in Toolkit Pro. If it’s ours, maybe you can open a ticket with more details about what you’re seeing. More info about the site you’re directed to, the shortcode you’re using and how you’re configuring order would be helpful.
