Use for a group of Pages

Hi I sell courses for medical education and I recently bought your pro plugin because I wanted to create a catalogue page of courses (/courses) which could be filtered by category, etc. So far your plugin will be an exactly solution to my usecase…with one issue…

You may be asking yourself why I don’t just use the filtering native in my learning management system or ecommerce system (like woocommerce) and that’s a good question.

I broke off the learning platform and ecommerce side of my business to a subdomain edu.mydomain.com in an attempt to keep my main site lean for SEO / page load time purposes.

Currently my site is set up with sales PAGES like this:

mysite.com/course/course-1
mysite.com/course/course-2

All I require is a simple catalogue of my course sales pages which users can use to find a course. This page is 100% for users. I will be deindexing it. Because I’ve used pages I don’t have the category and tag system I would for posts and your plugin is useless at this point.

The way I see it I have 3 options and I’d like input on the BEST option:

1. Switch these course pages to “posts”
2. Keep the pages and use a plugin like this: https://wordpress.org/plugins/post-tags-and-categories-for-pages/ to add that functionality. Would this work with your plugin and is it going to require a lot of custom coding?
3. Drop this plugin and use a catalogue plugin like this https://wordpress.org/plugins/ultimate-product-catalogue/ Not super excited about this since the “bloat” is what I was trying to avoid in the beginning.

Keep in mind:

1. I’m doing this for a site redesign and I’m currently working on a staging site so I have flexibility to make changes with low impact so I have options.
2. I prioritize simplicity and I’m not super technical so custom coding is not ideal for me.
3. Further to number 2 I want things to work without a lot of maintenance.
4. My preference is to use option 2 above if it is easily done without a lot of code.

I thank you in advance for your feedback/suggestions.
