LearnDash Shortcodes
What are shortcodes?
LearnDash and TinCanny both have a range of shortcodes that can be used on any page or post that you create in WordPress.
Shortcodes add a specific block of information to the page and are often used when you want to add custom page design for content generated from LearnDash or TinCanny.
For example, if we design a page called ‘My Courses’ we can add whatever design elements and additional blocks or widgets that we like to the page and add the Learndash shortcode [ld_profile] it will display the full user profile with their course details to them when they visit that page.
Many plugins have shortcodes available to make it easier for you to add content relevant to their plugin rapidly to a page or post.
Shortcodes can also be custom developed by your site designers or developers to suit a particular purpose that you have to display certain types of data.| LearnDash Shortcode | Description |
