Hi Michael
I first thought this was a bug too. But, logically, anything that is hidden from the students is considered a teacher resource. Therefore, why should it trigger the generation and sending of the certificate? I overcame this dilemma by using the 'restrict access' options instead. Now, our certificates are issued once they reach a certain course total in the graded activities or by date - depending on the course they are enrolled on.
All the best Marc
Hi again Marc,
now it worked with new option! Sorry for the glitch.

Please allow another question. By mistake I created a certificate for a test in a course in production which I cannot reset. I cancelled the activities in the course by that student and cancelled the certificate, but as soon as cron runs again, a new certificate is issued and sent! How I can definitvely cancel that certificate made by mistake?
Thanks and kindest regards, Michael

Hi Marc,
I saw this new Availability option in your latest release and I was very hopeful, but for me it does not work:
With the option “Show on course page” the students (and eventually teachers and “Email others”) receive the certificate by mail. As soon as I choose the restricted access or “Hide from students” nobody receives a certificate, and it is just not issued in the course. Am I doing anything wrong?
Best regards, Michael

Hi Michael, If you want a certificate to be e-mailed to students but not visible on the course page, I think you should be able to do this, if you have stealth activities enabled on your Moodle server, by putting the certificate in a hidden topic, and setting it to be available but not shown on the course page. See https://docs.moodle.org/401/en/Stealth_activities
Thanks for addressing this @james-cnz.
Hi Mark,
I would like to report a couple of issues I am having with both, moodle 3.14 and with v. 4:
Thank you and kind regards, Michael
