While customizing LearnDash I came across an issue in the topic.php file where the $lesson_post variable was returning null even when there was a parent lesson for the topic.
So, after digging around at the LearnDash source code a bit I came up with this simple solution to grab the lesson whenever I needed using the topic post which is accessible via $post.
Not sure if others will find this helpful, but there are not a ton of extensive docs or articles on developing for LearnDash so wanted to share 🙂
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Zac, not sure why but the documentation related to learndash_get ‘anything’ is very lean to non-existent. You changed the course of my evening, thank you 🙂 I used your code to do the following titles i needed for course and lesson by referencing the topic $post:
$parent_lesson_id = learndash_get_setting( $post, ‘lesson’ );
$parent_lesson = get_the_title( $parent_lesson_id );
$parent_course_id = learndash_get_setting( $post, ‘course’ );
$parent_course = get_the_title( $parent_course_id );

Hi Mark,
Do you have any idea how can i get the course category of the specific course?
I am putting the courses on separate categories, and I want to get the value/name of that category.
Do you have any idea?
Thanks in advance.
Jess

It’s just a meta field, so same way you would get any other meta field with WP Query

Hi! Thank You very much!
Could You tell how to get the next lesson’s link?
I can’t find any learnDash functions info :(.
I’m trying to make lesson autocompleting after completing last topic (if there’s no lesson’s quiz) and redirection to next lesson. Or, if there is a lesson’s quiz – redirect to the quiz.

I’m not sure about that. I would contact LearnDash support if you’re not able to find it. The documentation is pretty sparse.
