Each of our themes and our Church Content Pro plugin have been updated for a better experience with WordPress 5.8 and PHP 8.
The core Church Content plugin did not need to be updated. Everything was reasonably compatible with WordPress 5.8 and PHP 8 before these updates so we waited a bit to release them after WordPress 5.8 came out in order to run through a list of minor bugs reported by users over the months. There are other improvements such as automatically linked phone numbers.
WordPress 5.6 is here. That means it’s time to update your theme and plugins to maintain compatibility. This version of WordPress updated the jQuery library, which broke our mobile menu buttons. Many jQuery events were also deprecated so we have replaced them. Please update your theme and plugins from us to keep your WordPress site humming along nicely.
UPDATE: (2022) This project has been canceled.
There is no ideal sermons plugin for WordPress. The plugins that exist now are either unattractive in appearance, lacking features, buggy and unsupported or don’t work with all the WordPress themes that are available. This is what I’ve observed and this is what I’ve been told by people over the years. The sermon WordPress plugins available now are not useless, but they are not ideal. Churches using WordPress deserve a sermons plugin that meshes perfectly with their theme, that is easy to use and that does everything they need.
We are working on such a plugin and it is called WP Sermons. This is our vision for it.
WordPress 5.4 is scheduled for release at the end of the month.
Church Content plugin version 2.4 has been released. This version is ready for WordPress 5.4. Additionally, it fixes a bug that manifested on certain servers, improves the French translation, and updates the Google podcast submission URL. You can update by going to Dashboard > Updates.
Updates to the Church Content plugin and Church Content Pro add-on have been released. The primary purpose of this update is to maintain compatibility with WordPress 5.3, which is scheduled for release on Tuesday, November 12.

Creating a sermon podcast can help your church reach more people online. Our new Church Content Pro plugin makes it really easy for you to automatically syndicate your sermons via your own podcast on iTunes and Google Play. Let me show you how to set things up so that every time you publish a new sermon it goes to your podcast subscribers. New subscribers can discover you by searching with iTunes or Google Play.

Now when the Start Date for an event is excluded, the Start Date is automatically moved forward. This not happening automatically before was causing issues with the event still showing to visitors on the website.
Managing events on your website can be time-consuming. We’ve had recurring event features from the start but a few helpful options have been missing — until now.
