Loop Template not called

Dear Collie-IT,

Thank you for reaching out.

Please try changing the override path in your child theme to include the version directory, learnpress-v4:

• Current Path (likely incorrect):
  wp-content/themes/generatepress_child/learnpress/loop/course/title.php
• Suggested New Path:
  wp-content/themes/generatepress_child/learnpress-v4/loop/course/title.php

If the issue persists, could you please provide a screenshot of the exact area on the course list page where you want the custom date/time to appear? Seeing the context will help us identify the precise template file you need to override.

Let us know the result of changing the template path!

Best regards,

Hi Collie-IT,

Thank you for your reply and for providing the screenshot.

To modify that specific section, you can use the following hook:

apply_filters( 'learn-press/layout/list-courses/item/section/bottom', '…' );

This hook is located in:
wp-content/plugins/learnpress/inc/TemplateHooks/Course/ListCoursesTemplate.php

You can apply your custom code through this filter in your child theme to achieve the desired customization.

Dear Collie-IT,

Thank you for the quick follow-up!

Here is an example function you can place in your child theme’s functions.php file. This code display your course start date directly below the title in the course list:

add_filter( 'learn-press/layout/list-courses/item/section/bottom', function( $components, $course, $settings ) {
    if ( ! is_array( $components ) || empty( $components['title'] ) ) {
        return $components;
    }

    // Get course ID
    $course_id = method_exists( $course, 'get_id' ) ? $course->get_id() : get_the_ID();

    // Build display string using LearnPress user item start_time, formatted like: "Mo. 01.01.2025 ab 10:00"
    $dateStr = ' - ';
    $user_id = get_current_user_id();
    if ( $user_id ) {
        $userCourseModel = \LearnPress\Models\UserItems\UserCourseModel::find( (int) $user_id, (int) $course_id, true );
        if ( $userCourseModel instanceof \LearnPress\Models\UserItems\UserCourseModel ) {
            $start_time = $userCourseModel->get_start_time();
            if ( ! empty( $start_time ) ) {
                try {
                    $tage = array( 'So. ', 'Mo. ', 'Di. ', 'Mi. ', 'Do. ', 'Fr. ', 'Sa. ' );
                    $tz   = new \DateTimeZone( 'Europe/Berlin' );
                    // start_time is stored in UTC format (string), convert to Europe/Berlin
                    $dt   = new \DateTime( $start_time, new \DateTimeZone( 'UTC' ) );
                    $dt->setTimezone( $tz );
                    $weekdayIndex = (int) $dt->format( 'w' );
                    $prefix       = isset( $tage[ $weekdayIndex ] ) ? $tage[ $weekdayIndex ] : '';
                    $dateStr      = $prefix . $dt->format( 'd.m.Y' ) . ' ab ' . $dt->format( 'H:i' );
                } catch ( \Exception $e ) {
                    $dateStr = ' - ';
                }
            }
        }
    }

    // Insert before closing heading tag; fallback to append at the end
    $closing_tags = array( '</h1>', '</h2>', '</h3>', '</h4>', '</h5>', '</h6>' );
    $inserted = false;
    foreach ( $closing_tags as $closing ) {
        if ( strpos( $components['title'], $closing ) !== false ) {
            $components['title'] = str_replace(
                $closing,
                ' <span class="course-start">' . esc_html( $dateStr ) . '</span>' . $closing,
                $components['title']
            );
            $inserted = true;
            break;
        }
    }
    if ( ! $inserted ) {
        $components['title'] .= ' <span class="course-start">' . esc_html( $dateStr ) . '</span>';
    }

    return $components;
}, 10, 3 );

Let me know if this works!
