Sermon Embed

mattytap

<p>Mattytap Sermons lets a church publish sermons online with the structure they actually need: speakers, series, topics, books of the Bible, and service types, all as proper WordPress taxonomies, all searchable, all filterable. Add audio and video, attach handouts (PDF, DOC, PPT, anything), embed video from YouTube or Vimeo, and ship a fully-featured iTunes-compatible podcast feed for the whole library or for any individual series, speaker, topic, or book.</p>
<p>Mattytap Sermons is a maintained restoration of <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/sermon-manager-for-wordpress/" rel="ugc">Sermon Manager</a> by WP for Church. The original plugin was last published to WordPress.org in September 2024 (version 2.30.0); the upstream maintainer’s web presence is no longer reachable, and several publicly-disclosed CVEs remain unpatched in 2.30.0 and earlier. Mattytap Sermons is the successor line. Existing Sermon Manager installs (including 2.30.0) can switch to Mattytap Sermons as a drop-in replacement: the database schema, custom post type (<code>wpfc_sermon</code>), taxonomies (<code>wpfc_preacher</code>, <code>wpfc_sermon_series</code>, etc.), all <code>wpfc_*</code> option keys, six core shortcodes, and view templates are preserved. Multi-attachments for notes and bulletin, post-body editor support, and Twenty Twenty-Four theme wrapper are cherry-picked from upstream 2.30.0.</p>
<h4>What Mattytap Sermons preserves</h4>
<ul>
<li>Same shortcodes (<code>[sermons]</code>, <code>[sermon_images]</code>, <code>[list_podcasts]</code>, <code>[list_sermons]</code>, <code>[latest_series]</code>, <code>[sermon_sort_fields]</code>)</li>
<li>Same custom post type and taxonomies: existing sermon data carries over without import</li>
<li>Same template files in <code>views/</code>: existing theme overrides continue to work</li>
<li>Same Bib.ly Bible-reference integration</li>
<li>Same iTunes-compatible podcast feeds</li>
</ul>
<h4>What’s new in Mattytap Sermons</h4>
<ul>
<li>Active security maintenance, with <a href="https://github.com/mattytap/Mattytap-Sermons/security" rel="nofollow ugc">private vulnerability reporting</a> for responsible disclosure</li>
<li>Modernised for PHP 8.1+ and WordPress 6.0+</li>
<li>Bundled outdated third-party dependencies removed or upgraded (CMB2, wp-background-processing, the entry-views polyfill, taxonomy-images)</li>
<li>Continuing development on <a href="https://github.com/mattytap/Mattytap-Sermons" rel="nofollow ugc">GitHub</a></li>
</ul>
<h4>Popular shortcodes</h4>
