LearnDash Group Leader Name on Certificates Plugin

$49.00 / year

Display the Group Leader name on certificates with one simple shortcode: `[ld_group_leader_name]`. No coding. No extra plugins. Works with your existing LearnDash setup.

LearnDash certificates are powerful, but out of the box they don’t show who led the group or course. You end up with generic labels like “Course Instructor” or blank spaces — even when you’ve assigned Group Leaders in LearnDash.

The Challenge

Why LearnDash Certificates Fall Short Out of the Box

  • 😤 Certificates show generic labels instead of real names

    LearnDash certificates don't display Group Leader names out of the box, leaving you with vague labels like 'Course Instructor' or awkward blank spaces that undermine the whole document.

  • 🔧 Fixing it means custom code or extra plugins

    Without this plugin you'd need developer time or third-party add-ons just to surface a name that LearnDash already knows about internally — an expensive and fragile solution.

  • 🎓 Learners receive impersonal, incomplete certificates

    When certificates don't reflect the real person who led the training, they feel generic — undermining the value of the achievement for both learners and the organisations that issued them.

Everything Included

Built for Precision. Designed for Simplicity.

Single Shortcode for All Certificates

Add [ld_group_leader_name] once to your certificate template and it resolves the correct Group Leader name for every course and group automatically — no repetition, no manual updates.

Built on LearnDash core only — no WISDM, no WPPFU, no third-party plugins required. The plugin works straight away with your existing LearnDash setup without adding dependency risk.

No Extra Dependencies

Lightweight & Performance-Safe

Minimal code footprint with no bloat. The plugin adds no measurable performance impact to your WordPress site — your page speed scores stay exactly where they are.

Control exactly what appears when no Group Leader is assigned. Set a fallback value such as fallback="Instructor" to keep certificates clean and professional in every edge case.

Custom Fallback Text

Developer-Friendly Filters

Exposes ld_certificate_instructor_id and ld_certificate_instructor_name filters so developers can implement custom logic without hacking core files.

Group Leader names render correctly whether learners are viewing certificates on screen or printing them for physical records — pixel-perfect in both contexts.

Print-Ready Output

Compatible with LearnDash 3.0+

Fully tested with LearnDash LMS (sfwd-lms) version 3.0 and above, ensuring compatibility with modern LearnDash installations and all current release branches.

Meets current WordPress 5.0+ and PHP 7.4+ minimum requirements, keeping your stack secure, modern, and well-supported without forcing a platform overhaul.

Frequently Asked

Questions & Answers

Does this plugin work with my existing LearnDash certificate templates?

Yes. The [ld_group_leader_name] shortcode can be dropped into any existing LearnDash certificate template without rebuilding or replacing it. Your current design and layout remain completely intact.

Do I need WISDM or any other add-on plugin?

No. The plugin uses LearnDash core only. You do not need WISDM, WPPFU, or any other third-party extension. It works out of the box with a standard LearnDash LMS installation.

What happens if a course has no Group Leader assigned?

You can set a custom fallback value in the shortcode — for example fallback="Instructor" — so the certificate always displays something meaningful and professional even when no Group Leader is found for that course or group.

Is the licence for one site or multiple sites?

The licence covers one domain. Free support and updates are included for as long as your subscription remains active. If you need multi-site coverage, please get in touch to discuss your requirements.

Can developers customise the name or ID that gets displayed?

Yes. The plugin exposes the ld_certificate_instructor_id and ld_certificate_instructor_name filters, allowing developers to hook in and apply custom logic without modifying plugin files — a clean, upgrade-safe approach.

What are the minimum requirements to run this plugin?

You need WordPress 5.0 or higher, PHP 7.4 or higher, and LearnDash LMS 3.0+ (sfwd-lms). No other server-side requirements exist — if your LearnDash site is running, this plugin will run on it.

Give Every Certificate the Leader's Name It Deserves

Install in minutes, add one shortcode, and every LearnDash certificate your learners receive will reflect the real person behind their training.
