    Hello,

    I am attempting to use various shortcodes to help users narrow down the sermons they wish to listen to. Using the shortcodes provided on your website I attempted to use: [sermon_images display=”preachers” order=”DESC” orderby=”id” size=”sermon_small”]

    [list_sermons display=”preachers” order=”DESC” orderby=”id”]

    [list_sermons]

    [list_sermons display=”series”]

    to accomplish this, however when I went to view the page I was given the following messages instead.
    No preachers images found.
    No preachers found.
    No series found.

    No series found.

    I have uploaded over 200 sermons with various preachers and different series so the above error messages do not make a lot of sense here. Is anybody able to assist?

    Kind regards

    I was able to add all of those shortcodes to my testing page with no issues.

    Hi Mike,

    My apologies. I didn’t post the page earlier because the website was in coming soon mode and didn’t know how to exclude certain pages. I’ve since figured it out so here is the page

    Looks like you’re using the shortcode(s) in a Widget and I can see the error messages. I used those shortcodes and added those to a widget on our church’s testing site and I didn’t have any issues.

    It’s possible the errors are because your site isn’t quite ready? There may be a plugin conflict. I would disable all plugins (except this one) and see if that helps.

    I’m afraid disabling all the plugins didn’t fix the issue. Is there anything else that can be attempted to solve it? What is also confusing is that as you can see on the page I provided a link for, the [sermons] and [sermon_sort_fields] shortcodes work just fine, it’s just the ones revolving around [list_sermons]etc do not.

    Sorry, I can’t think of anything else. All I can say is those shortcodes work on our site. You have some broken links, maybe that’s part of it? All of the links on the ‘Series’ and ‘Speaker’ are broken: https://www.newcreationchurch.co.uk/podcastarchive/dont-lose-your-head-part-2/

    Hi, thanks for replying. I’m afraid I’m not quite sure what you mean by the links being broken. They work for me over here. I have a plugin active at the moment that displays a “coming soon” message so perhaps it appeared broken because it was redirecting you there? Either way I have disabled that plugin to investigate and the links don’t appear to be broken from my end.

    This page shows a “Our website is almost ready…” https://www.newcreationchurch.co.uk/speaker/alan-vance/

    Update: I solved the issue! It looks like it had something to do with how the sermons were imported. I imported all the sermons complete with their respective series and speakers from a backup and for some reason it meant that the series and speakers were not being picked up by that shortcode. All I had to do was upload a test sermon and add all the previously imported speakers to that sermon, as well as the imported series. Once that test sermon was published, the shortcode became populated with all the information! I then deleted the test sermon but the problem remained fixed!

    Thanks for trying to help – I really appreciate you taking the time ??

    Glad it’s working now!
