Show Certificates Anywhere for LearnDash makes it easy to display earned LearnDash certificates — from both courses and quizzes — on any page, post, sidebar, or widget area of your WordPress site.

If you use LearnDash LMS and want to showcase student achievements, display course completion certificates on a profile page, or build a certificate wall — this plugin does it in seconds with zero coding.

Why Use This Plugin?

By default, LearnDash only shows certificates on the course/quiz page itself. This plugin lets you display certificates anywhere — a student dashboard, a profile page, a sidebar widget, or even a dedicated achievements page.
