Good Evening,

I created a custom field to display when editing courses in Learndash on WordPress. (See Image). I need to display the value typed in the field on a certificate. This requires a shortcode. With no programing experience. Wasn’t sure if anyone would be able to help. Love to learn how to do this.

Thank you in advance!

The acf shortcode requires entering into a field that supports shortcodes, like the WP editor or an WYSIWYG field. How to get this working with another plugin would be a question for the developers of the other plugin.

ACF does have a shortcode that can be used for field display:

LearnDash certificates should support shortcodes in the body of the certificate as I believe they’re just a custom post type.
