The PMPro Courses shortcode is a powerful tool that allows you to display all courses on your website. Using the ‘limit’ attribute, you can control the number of courses shown. If no limit is set, all courses will be displayed. The shortcode retrieves the courses via the pmpro_courses_get_courses function and returns them in HTML format.

Shortcode: [pmpro_all_courses]
