Modern Courses Shortcode

The Reign Learndash LMS Addon provides two powerful shortcodes to display courses on your WordPress site:

• [modern_courses]

• [reign_courses]

These shortcodes allow you to customize the course layout, filtering, pagination, and styling with different parameters. You can use them anywhere on your site—pages, posts, or widgets—to showcase courses in the way that best fits your design.
