Group Page Course Card

Group Page Course Card​

The Group Page Course Card widget displays the course or membership that a LifterLMS Group is linked to as a card: thumbnail, title, excerpt and, for courses only, the difficulty and lesson count. It appears in the Elementor panel under the Lifter Elements - Groups category.

Requires LifterLMS Groups

This widget is registered only when the LifterLMS Groups add-on is installed and active alongside Lifter Elements.

Group Page Course Card showing a course thumbnail, title, excerpt, difficulty and lesson count

Usage​

Group landing template — Add the widget to a Theme Builder single template for the llms_group post type and leave Use Current Group on. Every group page then shows its own linked course or membership. See Create a Group Landing Template.

Promote one group's course anywhere — Turn Use Current Group off and pick a group under Group to show that group's course card on a regular page, such as a company intranet or a course sidebar.

Piece-by-piece layouts — If you need the same data in your own layout rather than a single card, use the Group Course Title, Group Course URL and Group Course Image dynamic tags with standard Elementor widgets instead.

How it works​

The widget resolves the group, reads the course or membership it is linked to, and detects the post type. The output is the same for every visitor — it does not show the viewer's enrollment or progress.

SituationBehaviour
Rendered outside a group page with Use Current Group on (a normal page, or a course page)Renders nothing.
The group has no linked course or membershipRenders nothing.
The group is linked to a membershipShows thumbnail, title and excerpt only; Show Difficulty and Show Lesson Count are ignored.
The linked post has no featured image or no excerptThat element is skipped; the rest of the card still renders.
The course has no difficulty termThe Difficulty row is skipped.
Link to Course is onThe thumbnail and title link to the course or membership page.

Difficulty renders as Difficulty: followed by the course's first difficulty term; the lesson count renders as Lessons: followed by the number of lessons in the course.
