Church Content – Sermons, Events and More

外掛說明

The Church Content WordPress plugin provides an interface for managing sermons, events, people and locations. Please be aware that a compatible theme is required for presenting content from these church-centric post types in a tightly-integrated manner.

Who this is for

This plugin is intended for a very specific audience. If you are not one of the following then this plugin will not be useful to you.

  • Users of official themes from ChurchThemes.com
  • Users of third-party themes made specifically for this plugin
  • Theme developers improving data portability for church sites

What it does

It provides post types, taxonomies and fields for sermons, events, people and locations to be shown by a compatible church WordPress theme.

Experienced WordPress developers agree that functionality like this does not belong in themes since themes are intended only for controlling the appearance of a WordPress site. Content that users might expect to take with them if they switch themes should “live” in a plugin in order to avoid theme lock-in. Similarly, our approach is not to present content using the plugin since themes offer more control for that purpose. This is why a compatible theme is required.

See the Plugin Details on ChurchThemes.com for a tour of features. Read the User Guide for instructions.

Compatible Themes

A compatible theme is required for presenting sermons, events, etc. added with the plugin.

  • Event Date Exclusions (holidays, weather closings, etc.)
  • Enhanced SEO (schema.org Structure Data using JSON-LD)
  • Location Memory (autofill and select previous event locations)
  • Wording Settings (e.g. rename “Sermons” to “Messages”)
  • Agency Mode (simplify license management for clients)

They have great support and I would also like to say that from start to finish it took me a little less than 6 hours to convert the site from the old risen theme to a new one using this plugin, thank you for making it so easy!

I appreciate the regular theme updates, but even more so the great support. The few times we’ve run into issues, we receive prompt, helpful, and polite replies from Steven.

I’ve been using churchthemes.com themes for a little over 4 years now. I was a novice when I started. Steven and crew are amazing about answering questions and responding to emails

I love the variety of themes available. I use “Saved” for my churches web site. It is wonderful and easy to work with. I am NOT a coder! When I run into a wall, I know all I have to do is send an e-mail to support. I am continually blown away by the high level of personal support I receive! It is nothing short of awesome. I usually receive a response within minutes. They will stick with you until my problem is solved. Always professional. Always prompt. Thank you!

We have been using the Exodus theme for over 3 years now. It gives an excellent simple web site for a small country church. The Church Content Pro plug-in makes maintaining the web site very easy and gives us the flexibility to change themes easily should we decide to. The custom reoccurring events feature of Church Content Pro makes handling our church calendar a breeze. Support has been excellent when needed. Thanks for all the hard work.

We started on the Risen theme in 2014 and switched to the Saved Theme earlier this year. We are super happy with it and even happier now with the Church Content Pro plugin features added. Love how it looks and operates on mobile platforms! When we implemented the Risen theme we did quite a few modifications to the look to match what our designer had come up with and so we had a child theme in place. This time around, we’ve been deliberately working within the theme’s options to simplify things and besides simplifying the update process, it has actually helped us define the function of some of our website features. Support has been helpful and reliable.
