Sermon Browser shortcodes
…go back to main Sermon Browser page
Starting from Sermon Browser 0.42, you can put individual sermons or lists of sermons on any page of your website. You do this by adding a shortcode into a WordPress post or page. A shortcode looks like this: [sermons id=52]. You can use many different parameters with these shortcodes, and you can combine parameters within one shortcode. For example: [sermons filter=none preacher=3 series=7]
Shortcodes are incredibly flexible. For example, you may have a page on your site about your pastor. Adding the shortcode [sermons preacher=1 id=latest] to that page will add full details of the latest sermon he preached. Alternatively, adding [sermons preacher=1 limit=5] will display a list of his five most recent sermons.
This feature is in development and may not work exactly as expected. Please report all bugs and feature requests using the forum.
