With the release of Advanced Sermons 3.0 right around the corner, we're proud to introduce a ton of new features and improvements to Advanced Sermons. One of these improvements is a new import functionality for Sermon Manager. This will allow users to import their existing sermons with a few clicks. Part of this improvement, we are also including a build in export functionality incase users ever need to migrate their data.

Would be awesome to flag a series as complete in the back-end with the result that in the front-end the series would display all the sermons from old to new for easier playback.

We're excited to announce the launch of new Elementor widgets for our Advanced Sermons Pro plugin! These widgets are designed to help you seamlessly integrate sermon-related content into your WordPress site using the powerful Elementor page builder. Whether you're showcasing the latest sermon, displaying an archive, or organizing sermons by speakers or topics, our new widgets make it easier than ever.

We’re excited to announce a new feature in Advanced Sermons: Scripture Tooltip Integration! For users who have enabled the scripture link option to BibleGateway, this update transforms how scripture references are accessed. Now, instead of requiring users to navigate to BibleGateway to view a passage, the scripture is conveniently displayed in a tooltip when hovering over the reference. This enhancement provides a seamless and immersive experience, keeping users engaged without disrupting their browsing or sermon listening. It’s another step forward in making your sermons more interactive and accessible. Stay tuned for more updates on how this feature can enrich your sermons!

We're introducing a new feature that gives users more control to choose which information they wish to display on the grid and list view layouts on the archive template. This can help simplify the sermon archive page to display only the information you want.

We’re thrilled to introduce the New Expanded List Layout to the Advanced Sermons plugin! This layout offers an enhanced way to showcase your sermons by displaying more detailed information directly on the archive page. It also includes a built-in audio player, allowing users to listen to sermons with ease right from the archive page—no additional navigation required. This feature is especially beneficial for users migrating from Sermon Manager, as the expanded list layout mirrors familiar elements for a seamless transition. It’s designed to provide a modern and functional experience while keeping your content accessible and engaging.

This new feature expands the design options within Advanced Sermons, giving you even more flexibility to showcase your sermon series exactly how you want. Whether you’re aiming for a clean, minimal look or something bold and visually engaging, these new settings put you in full control. What’s Included in This Feature? Customizable Series Design Options: Adjust colors, typography, and more to ensure your series design matches your site’s branding and aesthetic. Seamless Experience: Like other Advanced Sermons design features, this update is intuitive and easy to use, letting you make impactful changes with minimal effort. Why This Matters We know how important it is to present your content in a way that resonates with your audience. With Design Settings for Series, you can ensure that every aspect of your sermon series reflects your style and message. This with the all-new series parameters, allowing you to display your sermon series in a way that best fits your content and vision.

We’re thrilled to announce a new feature coming soon to Advanced Sermons Pro: Customizer Integration for Design Settings! 🎉 This exciting addition allows you to style your sermons with ease and precision by leveraging the WordPress Customizer. With this feature, you can visually preview design changes in real time as you make them. No more guessing how a design tweak will look—everything updates live in front of your eyes. What Does This Mean for You? Enhanced Flexibility: You can now choose between using the traditional design settings interface or switching to the WordPress Customizer for a more visual styling experience. Synchronized Settings: Whether you make changes through the customizer or the design settings panel, your preferences will stay in sync. No duplication, no hassle. Streamlined Workflow: Save time and enjoy a smoother, more intuitive styling process. Who Can Use This Feature? The Customizer Integration for Design Settings will be exclusive to Advanced Sermons Pro users. It’s perfect for anyone looking to elevate their sermon layouts while keeping full control over their design vision.

Enhance the sermon-viewing experience with a persistent video player that stays visible as users scroll through the sermon page. This feature ensures uninterrupted playback by seamlessly transitioning the video to a smaller floating position when it scrolls out of view. The player remains within the content area, avoids overlapping critical elements like the footer, and smoothly returns to its original position when scrolled back into view. Ideal for keeping your audience engaged with your message while they explore additional content or resources on the page.

Hello Advanced Sermons community, I just wanted to give everyone an update that we're on the home stretch for the new release of Advanced Sermons. We're currently working on debugging and fixing some minor issues before we push this update live. As you can see, there are a handful of large changes coming to Advanced Sermons and we're excited to get everyones feedback and release it to the world.

We understand that not everyone wants to group Books by new and old testament. For this reason, we have added a new option to the Archive settings to allows user to disable book testament grouping.
