Sometimes you may want to add some information regarding a course in the Course details section.
Here’s how you can add your custom data in Course details section.

Note : There are now multiple ways to achieve this.

METHOD 1 (Recommended)

0. Install the WPLMS Customizer plugin
1. Go to following location : Wp admin -> Plugins -> editor -> wplms customizer -> customizer_class.php
2. Add the following line in the _construct function:

PHP Code:
add_filter('wplms_course_details_widget',array($this,'custom_wplms_course_details_widget'));

3. Now add the following function in the class:

PHP Code:

function custom_wplms_course_details_widget($course_details){
 
$course_details['custom']='<li><i class="icon-plus-1"></i> This is my custom detail</li>';
return $course_details;
}

Optional : Insert the above line in between the Course details, use below function instead of above

3. Now add the following function in the class:

PHP Code:
function custom_wplms_course_details_widget($course_details){
 
foreach($course_details as $key => $value){
  $new_course_details[$key] = $value;
   if($key == 'price'){   //keys value
  $new_course_details['custom']='<li><i class="icon-plus-1"></i> This is my custom detail</li>'; 
  }   
 
}
 
return $new_course_details;
}

To insert after price use price instead of time, possible key values : price, precourse,time, badge,certificate

$id=get_the_id();
$lessons=get_post_meta($id,'myfield',true);
if(isset($lessons) && $lessons){
$course_details .= '<ul><li>'.$lessons.'</li></ul>';
}
return $course_details;
}
