[sermons] shortcode not working at all

    We are using Sermon Manager 1.9.2 on the ChurcHope v2.1 theme.
    Our Listen page contains the shortcode

    [sermon_sort_fields]
[sermons posts_per_page="6"]
[sermon-images tax="wpfc_sermon_series" order="DESC" orderby="id" size="sermon_large"]

    The [sermons] shortcode no matter how I configure it does nothing. I have removed all code from the post and left it by itself and still it just displays a blank page. I would gladly take any suggestions to get back what once worked a few weeks ago. Thanks

    Hi. From looking at your site, it looks like you got it working. Could you share what you did to fix it? I am having the same problem.

    @amichiganmom – We actually don’t have it working like intended. You currently see the “Featured Images” of the Sermon Series and the sort fields above. What you don’t see, what currently still does not work, is the [sermons] shortcode working. We still have the code, [sermons posts_per_page=”6″] but it’s not rendering.
    I have created a dummy post/page with only that shortcode alone and nothing appears on the page. What we had seen in the past, was the last 6 sermons and then the series page links sorted by id. At this point, this is not considered a fixed issue and based off of other users experience with PAID support from the plugin developer we are uncertain a fix would be addressed.

    The same issue here with the Churchope theme.
    Problem is that churhope introduced its own [sermon] shortcode in some version 2014.
    I solved this for me with a hack:
    – locate the file lib\shortcode\shortcodes.php in the theme directory
    – find and comment out these to lines:
    // add_shortcode(‘speakers’, ‘th_speakers’);
    // add_shortcode(‘sermons’, ‘th_sermons’);

    Sermon manager will work again.
    Problem: you need to do this again with every theme update.

    THANKS TO wittigdocs!!! That was the fix needed. I appreciate you responding. I like Sermon Manager, but was leery to whether paid support would give me an answer based off other users reviews.
    Thanks to the power of the WP Community!
    wittigdocs, are you able to hide or not show the baked in sermon functionality that comes with the Churchope theme?
    Thanks!

    @rboylee
    no, normally I’m not able to modify the churchope theme; this would be a task for the churchope theme to care for compatibility.
    What I sometimes to: locate the “wrong” features in the HTML debug view in the browser an do a “hide” in the custom CSS of the theme.
