Problems with using the sermon function in the Trinity Theme

    I purchased the trinity theme from churchthemes.net/themes/trinity/. There is your typical list in the Dashboard area including for instance, Pages, posts, media and so on. Included in this list is a service provided by churchthemes. It is related to sermons and has a long laundry list with them i.e. speakers, services, topics, etc. I have no idea of how to incorporate this into the website. In addition when I try to upload a sermon over 30 minutes long I am stopped by a message telling me that 32 MB is the largest file that can be uploaded. Why would a company or person sell a theme to someone that is limited to 32MB sermons? It’s worthless to me as my pastor would like for more than 30 minutes of his sermon to be heard. I’ve got a lot of money of my own tied up in this. I have no job and I’m the only one in my church that even has a chance of creating a website.
    Thanks in advance for any help!?

  • This has nothing to do with your theme. Your upload limit can be changed easily, but it’s not done through WordPress. This is actually a setting on your server that needs to be changed.

    The settings are called upload_max_filesize and post_max_size. They can be updated in the php.ini file found on your server. If you do not know where this file is, contact your hosting provider and they can show you how to access the file and they may even be able to update it for you.

    Frankie, thanks for your help, but it’s all greek to me. Are you saying I need to go to godaddy and have them change the upload size? Maybe I should have made this into two posts because it sounds like you’re saying the Sermon “settings” under the dashboard has nothing to do with your theme and that the upload issue is separate. I’ve looked at other themes and never saw anything to do with sermons, topics, series, speakers etc and I wouldn’t expect to. My problem in that area is I simply don’t know how or where to put those to get a page going that makes sense to my congregation. Since you are intimately familiar with this theme do you have any advice on how to do this?

    Hi Zane,

    1) If you want to increase the file size allowed for uploads to be bigger than 32MB, then yes, you need to speak with your hosting company. Tell them the information above, they will know what to do.

    2) I think this tutorial video provided by ChurchThemes.net will be just what you need to get everything set up: https://vimeo.com/26447342

    There are other tutorials available on their Vimeo channel too: https://vimeo.com/churchthemes/videos
