Section Shortcodes
Section Shortcodes
A LifterLMS section is the grouping of lessons inside a course. These two shortcodes read from the current section, which is resolved as follows:
| Page | Current section |
|---|---|
| A lesson page | The section that lesson belongs to. |
| A course page, logged-in student | The section containing the student's next incomplete lesson. |
| A course page, logged-out visitor | None — the shortcodes output nothing. |
Shortcode keys are case-sensitive
[le-sections-ID] uses upper case; [le-sections-id] does not work.
Section Title
Returns the current section's title.
Key: le-sections-title · Output: plain text
[le-sections-title]
Use it when — a lesson layout built outside Elementor should show where the learner is in the course ("Module 2: Second Milestone"), or a course page for a logged-in student should name the section they will land in next ("Continue with [le-sections-title]").
Section ID
Returns the current section's post ID.
Key: le-sections-ID · Output: number
[le-sections-ID]
Use it when — a developer snippet needs the section to look up its lessons or metadata; it has no display use on its own.
Notes
- The Section Title dynamic tag is the Elementor equivalent of
le-sections-title. - The full list of registered shortcodes is also shown in your WordPress admin under Settings > Lifter Elements > Documentation.
