I am having many issues and I believe they fall under this same category.
1. How do I change the page title so that it does not read as “ARCHIVE”? I’ve tried changing it in sermon > settings > archive page title, but the change never appears in the front end. I’d like for the title to be “SERMONS”.
2. The sermon page, or archive page, appears as a blog page. It gives users the ability to click a “read more” button even though there is absolutely nothing to read. It also dislays “posted at 2:07h in by admin – 0 comments – 0 likes”. How do i get rid of this stuff. It doesn’t look good especially since it’s not a blog.
3. I can’t edit the page background color. There is no page titled “ARCHIVE” in m dashboard. Yet, the sermon manager is on this very same archive page.
Someone, please help me!
Hi. Just saw your most recent update for Sermon Manager. You all are doing such a great job responding to our issues, thank you!
With my issue on the archive sermon listings, I tried a negative top margin on the entry title, but that wasn’t a good solution for the different screen sizes. Any advice appreciated.

Thanks for your feedback, we’re doing our best 🙂
We can see that happening on the main Archive page http://www.christumcmarietta.org/gnfc/, but we can’t on your main sermon page, i assume it’s because you are using a shortcode there? In any case, could you confirm whether your theme has an archive override for the sermons? Its a file usually called archive-wpfc_sermon.php and it sits inside your theme. If not, then you would need to take a copy from the plugin (views folder) and put that into your theme, then customize it to suit. That archive file (and the same applied to the taxonomy templates in the views folder) does contain the order of how things are shown and titles are definitley first.

Your first issue is strange, the Sermon Manager settings should dictate what that page title is. If you have an active support plan, feel free to email us via the member area and we can take a look for you. It does sound like your theme could be the issue.
Your second issue is definitely to do with your theme. It doesn’t know what to do with the sermons so it just outputs them as blog posts. You can turn on the plugin template views in the settings, and you should see that layout change on the frontend. However this might also expose need for customizations. Every view can be overridden by copying the PHP files from the plugin views folder into your theme.
Regarding the 3rd problem, it sounds like your theme gives you some options for background color’s? Depending on the flexibility of those setting they may or may not apply to Sermon Manager pages. In that case, you could use some custom css. But without seeing the pages, it’s hard for us to comment.
To clarify, this is only happening on the taxonomy pages…such as topics, Bible books, or speaker. Yes, my shortcode page is working perfectly.
On a re-read, I see that you’re pointing me to the specific file. Thank you! I will definitely check that and see if I can rectify my issue from there.
Copying the archive file into my theme fixed it! Thanks so much!
I spoke too soon. I was looking at the main page with my short code. Sigh.
