    I regret that your moderator seems to have “cleaned up” by deleting our initial exchange which I added to another similar thread. I do have the overview to my issue saved, so I will send that here:

    Overview: Many years ago with a different hosting service, the site was put onto a Divi child theme. In our current situation, we want to move away from builders and embrace WordPress full-site editing (FSE). Sermon Manager also came as a plug-in with our previous host and we have not been paying much attention to it to know it was not being supported. So, we are needing to make multiple transitions.

    To do so, I have staged https://agapewilliamsport.org/ as https://test01.agapewilliamsport.org/. Thus, I can still compare the public site with the test01 site. I followed the instructions to disable “Sermon Manager for WordPress, Version 2.30.02 and installed Mattytap Sermons, originally at 3.4.4 from which I took the screenshots. I updated just now to 3.4.5.

    Most of our use of Sermon Manager has revolved around a Divi slider on the Home page, so there hasn’t been much use of the features built into Sermon Manager. We show the last 10 sermons on our slider. Then, clicking on the link takes the viewer to that sermon’s page. However, with our abandonment of Divi, we wanted to explore the native features of Sermon Manager / Mattytap as well as other alternatives, if necessary. I was starting with Mattytap on our staging site and noticed many things that were different. Some appear to be differences in how Gutenberg blocks handles the input fields vs. the input right on the page for Sermon Manager. I notice in Sermon Manager that under “Edit Sermon” the descriptive summary of the sermon is added at the top of a big box along with the link to the YouTube video. This all comes prior to “Sermon Details.” Mattytap seems to have no equivalent.

    I’ve shared a folder of screenshots. If you need further details about these, let me know.

    Hi Paul,

    Luckily I had already extracted the details of your 15th September overview before the posts were deleted so I was able to keep going. These were very helpful, thank you.

    Anyway, it’s fixed and fully tested in Mattytap Sermons 3.4.6, released earlier today, 16th September. Sermon Manager 2.30.0 keeps the sermon text in the main post body, and Mattytap Sermons was looking for it elsewhere. That’s because Mattytap Sermons was restored from Sermon Manager’s code on GitHub, which stops at version 2.15, and the later versions that moved the text were only ever released on WordPress.org.

    Before replying I tested the whole migration: a site on Sermon Manager 2.30.0 with sermon text, featured images, preacher and series images, audio and a YouTube link, switched to 3.4.6. The text, images, audio and video all display on the sermon list and on each sermon’s page, the podcast feed carries the text, and the Edit Sermon screen shows it in the editor above Sermon Details.

    Please update your staging site to 3.4.6 for the fix.

    Best wishes
