Hi,
Elementor support is not yet there (it will be in Pro version), but you can modify the excerpt output by adding the following PHP code into your theme’s functions.php
add_filter( 'wpfc_sermon_excerpt_v2', function(){
} );
In the second line add everything from this function, from line 575 to 705, but don’t copy line 699.
…or…
if you just want to hide the excerpt content (sermon description) you can add the following CSS to Appearance -> Edit/Custom CSS (or Appearance -> Customizer -> Additional CSS (or Appearance -> Editor (style.css file, add at the end)):
.wpfc-sermon-description {
display: none;
}

Thanks for your quick response. Will the Pro version be coming soon? With Elementor widget?
I’ve tried your advice.
I edited the functions.php and wound up with a parsing error. Does all this code go at the very end? I am new to this.
The CSS seems the preferable way for me. I’ve tried changing it 1) in the style.css file, 2) in the theme appearances customizer, and even 3) in the individual widget. I even tried adding !important
Nothing changed. The excerpt still appears.
Is there something else you would suggest?
I am confused as to how to just call this SermonManager post info through Elementor interface. (What widget?)
Sorry for the many questions. I really appreciate your help on this. I am stuck!
Hi,
Pro version will come soon – in a matter of days.
And yes, it will contain a native Elementor widget. 🙂
It’s very weird that CSS does not work. Are you using the latest version of Sermon Manager?
Also, could you please send us the URL of your sermons page?
I’m starting to suspect that your theme is displaying the “basic” version of excerpt that has no clickable links – are your sermons looking like in this demo? (by the way – this is the first time that we see that a theme is using the “basic” version of excerpt)
Don’t worry about asking questions – our goal is to resolve the issue. 🙂
Nikola,
I have 3 or 4 different Elementor post widgets I could use, but none of them allow me to specify which sermon details to display or not display. I can only get the excerpt — that includes all sermon details. I can choose to hide the excerpt in the widget controls, but then I get no sermon details.
Here’s the link. You can see my experiments with two different widgets.

Again, I want to display just the details (sermon title, date, preacher, Scripture passage). Then click to open in a post with all the message summary, too.
Anything else I can try?
I am really looking forward to the Elementor widget. Will it allow me to do what I want above?
Any possibility of my beta testing this widget? I’d like to get this sermon page working, and not set up and style it all twice.
Hi,
Yes, that’s expected. Sermon Manager has no Elementor support yet.
I am really looking forward to the Elementor widget. Will it allow me to do what I want above?
Yes, it will have those options in-built.
