 * When I use the {{completion_date}} on my certificate template it does not render
   for users that have completed the course on the front-end.

 * Hi [@applesandarrows](https://wordpress.org/support/users/applesandarrows/)
 * Could you show us some screenshots on how the certificate template is configured
   and how the resulting certificate looks like?

 * Here are screenshots. The only way I can get a date to display is if I hardcode
   an actually date. It seems like the {{completion_date}} tag isn’t working.

 * [@applesandarrows](https://wordpress.org/support/users/applesandarrows/) I just
   tried this out on my test site and `{{completion_date}}` is working as expected.
   The completion date is still showing up for users on the front end.
 * I also tried to view the screenshots you shared, but I received errors saying
   that Imgur is temporarily over capacity. Can you please try inserting your screenshots
   directly into your message here?
 * Can you also let us know if you have already tried conflict testing to see if
   the issue is caused by another plugin or your theme? I recommend following the
   steps using the Health Check plugin here so that your production site isn’t affected:

 * I tried conflict testing and nothing resolves this issue. Also, these threads
   do not support direct uploading of images to my knowledge. I can see the imgur
   images from my previous post so you may want to take another look at that. I 
   need to get this issue resolved before my new site goes live or I will need to
   find a different LMS.

 * For the test user “Skin Script”, can you check in student management if there
   is a completion date for this student? Could you provide us with a screenshot
   of that student management page as well? You can upload to imgur or [https://snipboard.io/](https://snipboard.io/).
 * This could happen if the certificate was manually create without the student 
   actually finishing the course.
