Updated Templates

• templates/course/lesson-navigation.php
• templates/course/lesson-preview.php
• templates/course/parent-course.php

New Features

• Added certificate global options for the default size of new certificates and certificate templates.

Updates and enhancements

• The site options lifterlms_certificate_bg_img_width,
  lifterlms_certificate_bg_img_height, and
  lifterlms_certificate_legacy_image_size are now used only for certificates
  and certificate templates created using the classic editor.
• The settings, found on the Engagements Settings screen, are hidden by default.
• During the database upgrade from versions earlier than 6.x, an site option, llms_has_legacy_certificates is added when at least one certificate is found. This option will display the settings so they can continue to be used for legacy certificates.
• After migrating all certificates on a site, the settings will still display. In order to remove them from the screen a developer can either delete the option llms_has_legacy_certificates or return false from the filter llms_has_legacy_certificates.
• Restore certificate save hooks after executing callback updates to facilitate scenarios where more than one certificate is updated in a single request.

Bug Fixes

• Only register the Certificate Title block for use on certificate post types.
