Overview

Simple Course Creator adds a Course taxonomy to WordPress posts. Assign any post to a course and a collapsible listing of all posts in that course appears in the content of each included post — linked, sorted, and styled the way you want.

The settings page controls where the listing appears in your post content, how it’s styled (numbered, bulleted, or plain), how posts are sorted and ordered, how the current post is highlighted, and whether the toggle is JavaScript-powered. A post can belong to more than one course — a separate listing is displayed for each. The scc_post_types filter extends course support to custom post types. The Customizer, post meta output, and front display indicator round out what the plugin can do.

Customizer

The Simple Course Creator panel in Appearance > Customize gives you visual control over the course listing, post meta, and front display — colors, borders, padding, and font sizes — without writing CSS. Settings are organized into three sections: Course Box, Post Meta, and Front Display.

Full details and available options are in the documentation on GitHub.

Post Meta

When enabled, each item in the course listing shows the post author and publish date beneath the title. Toggle each field independently under Settings > Course Settings.

Front Display

When enabled, a course indicator appears beneath each post excerpt on the blog home, archive pages, and search results — wherever that post belongs to a course. Toggle it under Settings > Course Settings.
