<p><strong>Byte Sermons</strong> gives churches everything they need to publish and organize sermon content on their WordPress website — without locking you into a specific theme or page builder.</p>
<h4>Key Features</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Sermon custom post type</strong> — A dedicated post type built for sermons, with support for title, content, excerpt, and featured image.</li>
<li><strong>Video embed support</strong> — Paste a YouTube, Vimeo, or Rumble URL and the video is automatically embedded in a responsive 16:9 player.</li>
<li><strong>Series management</strong> — Group sermons into series with a title, image, and description. Each series gets its own archive page with a hero banner and sermon grid.</li>
<li><strong>Speaker / preacher profiles</strong> — Assign sermons to one or more preachers. Each preacher gets a profile page with photo, bio, and their full sermon listing.</li>
<li><strong>Topic categorization</strong> — Tag sermons with topics (Faith, Prayer, Grace, etc.) so visitors can browse by theme.</li>
<li><strong>Scripture references</strong> — Link sermons to specific Bible books and chapters. All 66 books of the Bible are pre-loaded, organized by chapter.</li>
<li><strong>Live-filter sermon library</strong> — The sermon archive page includes an instant filter bar — search by keyword, series, preacher, or topic without a page reload.</li>
<li><strong>Beautiful archive pages</strong> — Every taxonomy (series, speakers, topics, scripture) has a purpose-built archive template that fits seamlessly into your theme.</li>
<li><strong>Theme-agnostic layout</strong> — Works with any WordPress theme. Plugin pages inherit the active theme’s header, footer, typography, and colors.</li>
<li>Layout settings — Control left/right padding on desktop, tablet, and mobile independently from the Sermons <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Settings page.</li>
<li><strong>Custom permalink slugs</strong> — Customize the URL structure for every content type from Settings <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Permalinks.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Who Is This For?</h4>
<p>Byte Sermons is designed for churches of any size that want a clean, focused way to share sermon content online — without the complexity of a full church management system.</p>
<h4>Template Override Support</h4>
<p>Any template can be overridden by placing a same-named file inside your theme’s folder. This gives designers and developers full control over the presentation of every sermon page.</p>
