4.4 Basic Usage: Shortcodes

4. Basic Usage: Shortcodes​

A shortcode is a small piece of code that makes it easy to add various functions or display content on your website without needing to write complex code. By adding a shortcode to a page, post, or widget area, you can embed content like images, videos, or other dynamic information directly into your site.

Lifter Elements offers a range of shortcodes that extend the functionality and design capabilities of LifterLMS when used with Elementor. These shortcodes provide greater flexibility in customizing your course content and design. They are also compatible outside of Elementor, allowing you to use them with Gutenberg or anywhere else on your website.

Example:

A shortcode looks something like this: [le-courses-audio-url]
