How Certificate Verification Works

When a visitor or admin searches for a certificate:

1. The plugin queries the WordPress database for the verification ID
2. It searches the Tutor LMS certificate records (stored in wp_comments table)
3. If found, it retrieves:
   • Student user information
   • Course details
   • Completion date and time
   • Instructor information
4. For frontend verifications, it automatically opens the actual certificate in a new tab
5. For admin searches, it displays comprehensive information in an organized layout
