## Code

```php
if ( ! function_exists( 'llms_get_student' ) ) {
    return;
}

// Course ID => URL. "default" applies to all other courses.
$wpide_llms_done_pages = array(
    'default' => home_url( '/thank-you/' ),
);

add_action( 'lifterlms_course_completed', function ( $user_id, $course_id ) use ( $wpide_llms_done_pages ) {
    $url = $wpide_llms_done_pages[ (int) $course_id ] ?? ( $wpide_llms_done_pages['default'] ?? '' );

    if ( $url ) {
        update_user_meta( (int) $user_id, 'wpide_llms_done_redirect', esc_url_raw( $url ) );
    }
}, 10, 2 );

add_action( 'template_redirect', function () {
    $user_id = get_current_user_id();
    $url     = $user_id ? get_user_meta( $user_id, 'wpide_llms_done_redirect', true ) : '';

    if ( $url ) {
        delete_user_meta( $user_id, 'wpide_llms_done_redirect' );
        wp_safe_redirect( $url );
        exit;
    }
} );
```

## Notes

Map course IDs to URLs; the "default" entry covers every other course. Remove it to only redirect the courses you list.
