We'll specifically focus on adding course details like trailer videos, pricing, and course content. You'll also learn how to save and retrieve this data in the database.

- Dynamic Content Loading: Learn to dynamically load course details from the custom fields you've created. Each course page will display its unique price, video trailer, and content, all managed conveniently from the WordPress dashboard. Make changes in the backend and see them instantly on the front end.
