As áreas de blocos são definidas no tema, então isso vai depender do seu tema.
Infelizmente não tenho um código CSS que deixe o plugin com aquela cara, mas sei que não precisa de muita coisa.
Se você definir a imagem do curso é possível que ele mostre ali também.
Daniel, thanks for this plugin. Is it possible to feature the course in a horizontal bottom and not vertical-left/right?
It depends on your theme layout/css and block regions.
Thanks for the plugin. Any chance it could be available later for the Moove theme ?
Have a nice day
It can be added to any block area in any theme.
Best,
Daniel
