What It Does

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.

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, and theme developers improving data portability for church sites.

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.
