Version 2.1 of our Church Content plugin has been released. The main purpose of this update is to provide a tool to assist users of our discontinued Risen theme migrate to one of our newer, more modern themes. This update contains a couple bug fixes as well. As usual, all users should update (even if not migrating from Risen).
Church Content plugin version 1.8 has been released.
Wait, what’s the Church Content plugin? It is the plugin formerly known as “Church Theme Content” that our themes use. Over the years, we’ve seen the plugin called all kinds of things so we decided to simplify the name. The way it works has not changed, just the name – although there are other improvements in this release.
We released a maintenance update to the Custom Recurring Events add-on. The following changes were made in version 1.0.8. It is recommended that all users update. You can update by going to Dashboard > Updates.
We’ve been spending the last few weeks making it easier for you to add maps to your events and locations.
Every church needs a mobile-friendly website. That means having a responsive design and a menu that is easy to use on phones.
Our Resurrect WordPress theme was launched with a very simplistic mobile menu that has been replaced with a new, more modern mobile menu which you can see in the photo above. We released Resurrect version 1.8 yesterday to make this improvement available to you.
One of the WordPress plugins I use on two sites had an update. On the first site, it updated fine as always. On this site (which is hosted on a different server), the plugin update failed with an error message that I had not seen until today.
An error occurred while updating Simple Share Buttons Adder: Download failed. Failed to write request to temporary file.
Sometimes WordPress file and permission errors can be tricky but the solution for this was pretty simple.
Note: Additional updates were made on October 9 to address a bug some users were experiencing with the Customizer. Read changelogs for details.
Both our Exodus and Resurrect WordPress themes have been updated.
Resurrect now has a German translation thanks to Dirk Hoffmann and Urban Life Church. Both themes received minor improvements and fixes. Refer to the changelog for your theme for full details.
The Jetpack plugin has a module called Publicize. It automatically shares your new posts on social media when you publish them.
It works for blog posts out of the box but not for custom post types. Custom post types must specifically support Jetpack Publicize. Version 1.1 of our Church Content plugin adds this support. Now you can automatically share new sermons and events on Facebook and Twitter.
Our first two themes and the plugin they rely on for content have been updated. The changes are minor improvements and bug fixes. All users are recommended to run the latest version of themes, plugins and WordPress.
Resurrect 1.2 is now available for one-click updating in your WordPress dashboard. This update include several improvements, bug fixes and a compatibility update for the upcoming release of WordPress 3.9.
