[Plugin: Sermon Manager] Player and details on page twice

I’ve only seen this issue when JetPack is enabled. I’ve reached out to other developers, but we haven’t been able to nail down the issue.

This issue seems to have been fixed in version 1.6.

I’ve tested it using:

Chrome, Safari, Firefox – MacOS Mountain Lion
Internet Explorer 9.0 – Windows 7

Cheers, Greg.

Just want to add– It appears that if you deactivate and reactive the jetpack plugin after you have activated the Sermon Plugin, things appear to work fine. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this?

I had a similar issue while using Pinboard theme (we are not using Jetpack). The duplicated sermon posts were wedged between the social bookmarks at the bottom of the post. I figured out how to fix this by removing the pinterest social bookmark feature.

Appearance -> Theme Options -> General Tab -> Single Posts -> uncheck Pinterest

I have the problem with the pagelines theme installed. Sermonmanager 1.7.2 also puts the content of the sermon details in the header and in the content. So the problem is still araound. Too bad since I was glad to have found a sermon manager that does not depend on flash. Any idea how to fix it?

Here is the page where it happens:
https://kleinekraft.de/wordpress/sermons/osterpredigt-freue-dich-der-herr-lebt/

It’s happening on my site too (example: https://journeywired.org/recent-messages/faith-that-makes-a-difference/) and I am not running Jetpack either. I’ve deactivated most other plugins to see if there was another causing the error but it’s still there. Any new solutions out there? I really like this plugin but if it can’t be fixed, I’ll have to find a different solution.

After some trial and error, the error on my site was caused by another plugin – this time it was WordPress SEO. No idea why the two would interact like that, but glad to know that eliminating that plugin fixed the duplication.

Also found it to be an interference with WordPress SEO. No good!

Tried to edit the single-sermon php file, and removed the entire post, pictures, mp3-file, description and all, so that only the header and footer would show, just to see what happened.
–> result: On top I still found the extra post caused by the interferrence between WordPress SEO and Sermon Manager. The actual post was not there, however, the navigation links (to the next and previous sermon) was still there, which is very odd! I cannot see how they got there! And I really cannot see, since I disabled the post, where WordPress SEO got it from..!

Now it is SORT OF RESOLVED!

Still, there are major problems in the code, but this is why it messes up:

What really made me wonder was that some of my sermons looked good, and some did not. So there had to be a difference!

What you need to do: If you are running WordPress SEO by Yoast and that is what makes the mess, you will, at the bottom of every page and post editor, find some things to edit along with the SEO for WordPress. One of them is the META DESCRIPTION. When that is not filled in, you will have a mess! That’s what I found out comparing my different sermon posts. Those who looked good had that filled in with a meta-description of what kind of post it was, for a short text to show on Google and Bing. Those who looked bad had no information put there. When I put information in them, Voilá! Problem resolved! However, someone needs to check that code..!

I see what you mean by adding a meta description to the page, but how can you do this on the sermon archives page because this isn’t an actual page, but rather generated by the plugin?

Oh yeah, I only have the audio files on the actual post, so those was the ones I edited. So having the audio files available on the archives makes a mess too? Bummer!

Thankful for this thread–had the same issue and it was the conflict with Yoast’s plugin. Will reactivate that and add the meta descriptions when I have time, I guess.

If you are a Genesis Framework user on version 2.0, you can try adding this line to your functions.php file to be able to add content to and edit the archive page:

/** Add features missing from plugins' CPTs */
add_action( 'init', 'rgc_cpt_support' );
function rgc_cpt_support() {
	add_post_type_support( 'wpfc_sermon', 'genesis-cpt-archives-settings' );
}

I know that won’t help if you’re not on Genesis, but if you are, it may.
