Summary
This shortcode allows you to display a list of LifterLMS courses together to create a single “course library” page for your membership site. Three LifterLMS courses are listed per row. Requires the latest version of the Memberium page templates to work. Can be used in any WordPress page or post, no page builder plugin is required to use this shortcode.
Shortcode Examples
Here’s an example of this shortcode being used to list multiple LifterLMS courses on a single WordPress page to make a single ‘course directory’ or ‘course library page.
Members that can access a course will be able to click through and track their course progress once started, as the first two courses are shown above here. If a member doesn’t have access to a course, that course will appear as being “locked”, as the bottom course does above.

FAQ
How do I create my own course library page with this shortcode?
Just repeat the shortcode and fill in the info for each course that you want to list in your course library. To learn how to do this and decide which shortcode you should use, we recommend you check out this in-depth post on this: How to Easily Build a Responsive Course Library Page for Your Membership Site With Memberium
How do I make my course library page full width like the example picture shown for this shortcode?
If you’re theme comes with a “Full Width” page template you’ll want to set the page template to the Full Width option. If you’re theme doesn’t come with a ‘Full Width’ page template and you still want to use one, you can download the plugin Fullwidth Templates for Any Theme & Page Builder and select the “FW Fullwidth” page template that you’ll be able to use once you’ve activated that plugin.
