1. Is there a way to keep the certificate's original date when you regenerate the certificate?
I've tried to regenerate using ?regenerate_certificate but that doesn't work! I've had to remove and reassign the certificate from the course, but the date had the today date on the certificate and not the original.
2. When I remove and then reassign the certificate from the course, on the Media Library I have 2 pdf's for the same file, BUT when checking the uploads folder there is only one pdf file.
It is worth to mention this is not happening, the duplication, when a student finished the course and the quiz normally.
The above are present on 2 different systems one running on v3(theme and plugins are v3) and one on v4(theme and plugins are v4)
1 . well the new certificate date only shows when student certificate date is missing .
you can use [course_completion_date] shortcode instead of certificate date .
2 . this need to be checked . I guess you are using wplms pdf certificates plugin , in which we delete the old pdf of user and generate new one when certificate is assigned from course admin by instructor .
1. I will try what you suggested, and get back to you with the outcome. ?regenerate_certificate should work for pdf-only certificates as well?
2. Yes, we are using the latest version of the pdf certificate plugin (WPLMS PDF Certificates 2.6), would you be able to look into it at some point if we share the login details to our staging website? The old pdf is deleted as expected, but when the new one is assigned it is registered twice on the Media Library for the same pdf file.
1 . no for this you will need to goto course admin and assign the certificate again to the user. to do this in bulk please goto wp-admin -> lms -> settings -> functions -> sync areas->
