<p>The Church Content WordPress plugin provides an interface for managing sermons, events, people and locations. Please be aware that a <strong>compatible theme is required</strong> for presenting content from these church-centric post types in a tightly-integrated manner.</p>
<h4>Who this is for</h4>
<p>This plugin is intended for a very specific audience. If you are <em>not</em> one of the following then this plugin will not be useful to you.</p>
<ul>

<h4>What it does</h4>
<p>It provides post types, taxonomies and fields for <em>sermons</em>, <em>events</em>, <em>people</em> and <em>locations</em> to be shown by a compatible church WordPress theme.</p>
<p>Experienced WordPress developers agree that functionality like this does not belong in themes since themes are intended only for controlling the appearance of a WordPress site. Content that users might expect to take with them if they switch themes should “live” in a plugin in order to <a href="https://churchthemes.com/wordpress-theme-users-avoid-lock-in-effect/" rel="nofollow ugc">avoid theme lock-in</a>. Similarly, our approach is not to present content using the plugin since themes offer more control for that purpose. This is why a <strong>compatible theme is required</strong>.</p>
