FAQ
The featured content is still being shown on the home page even after completing it. Why is this happening?
If the completed content is still being featured on the home page, it is likely because "Hide when completed" is not activated.
By enabling this setting, completed courses will be removed from the home page. If you prefer to keep completed featured courses visible, simply leave this option disabled.
