CodifyKit Certificate Manager — Lite
Issue certificates in WordPress and let anyone verify them with a public shortcode.
The free, open-source Lite edition. No license key required.
What it does
Issue a certificate to someone, get a unique verification code like CERT-GMW9-T8AB, and share it. Anyone can paste that code into the [ck_verify] widget on your site to instantly confirm whether the certificate is valid, who it was issued to, and when.
Built with the CodifyKit dark-glass UI — clean, fast, and theme-proof.
Features (Lite)
- Issue certificates from a polished dark admin panel
- Unique verification codes — unambiguous, hard to guess
- Public verification via the
[ck_verify]shortcode (works on any theme, fully inline-styled so it never breaks) - Revoke / restore and search issued certificates
- No dependencies — no WooCommerce, no external services
