Important
This plugin assumes a working knowledge of WordPress and shortcodes. To alter the appearance of the outputs of the plugin, you will require a developer or knowledge of WordPress filtering.
It is strongly recommended that you have a WordPress developer available to configure this plugin.
Any heading parameter is mapped to the payload as returned by the Thinkific Admin API. e.g name in the Thinkific API object will be displayed as Name
heading should be specified as a comma seperated list e.g.
[thinkific_courses headings="name,price,description"]In general, calls to the Thinkific API are cached for 10 minutes. This reduces API load and shortens load times on WordPress. Developers can configure or disable this caching with filters.
