if ( ! function_exists( 'llms_get_student' ) ) {

);
add_action( 'lifterlms_course_completed', function ( $user_id, $course_id ) use ( $wpide_llms_course_roles ) {
$role = $wpide_llms_course_roles[ (int) $course_id ] ?? '';
$user = get_userdata( $user_id );
if ( $role && $user && get_role( $role ) && ! in_array( $role, (array) $user->roles, true ) ) {
