Custom permalink for sermon post type

    Hi, I have a feature request for your consideration:

    Currently on the Sermon Settings page, I’ve set the Archive Page Slug to “sermons”. That means the individual sermon pages use this permalink structure:

    www.example.com/sermons/name-of-the-sermon

    However, I would like to be able to customise the permalink structure of the individual sermon pages, while still keeping the main archive under “sermons”.

    Specifically, I’d like to be able to add the sermon year to the permalink, like this:

    www.example.com/sermons/2017/name-of-the-sermon

    Would you be able to add the ability for us to customise the permalink structure to our liking? For example, you could add a field to the sermon settings page, where we can either accept the default permalink (eg. ‘sermons’), or else we can customise it with our own variables, using the default WordPress variables like %year%.

    In that case, I would be able to add sermons/%year%/%postname% and get the desired permalink I want, and other users could use other variables – maybe /year/month/day or maybe using “sermon” (singular) instead of “sermons”, or whatever they want.

    I made a mock-up to illustrate what I had in mind:

    And if nothing were entered into this field, then it could default to whatever is used in the Archive Page Slug above.

    What do you think?

    Hey @germankiwi,

    Thanks Igor, I appreciate it! I’m glad to see Sermon Manager with some new owners who have the time and interest to continue developing the plugin further. I hope you guys will continue to provide the current functionality as a free plugin, as it is so widely used and is pretty much the only decent sermon plugin available. ??

    Hi @germankiwi,

    Thanks for your encouragement, and yeah, absolutely, we will continue to maintain a free version. We plan on rewriting the plugin from scratch and releasing both a free and Pro version in the next few months.

    We’re soon going to be rolling out a new website, a new theme and plugins and start the process of getting feedback/ideas from existing users for the new Sermon Manager.

    So it’s exciting but a lot of work still to get there.

    Sounds great! I’m glad to hear you’ll be soliciting feedback from existing users – I’ll look forward to contributing my ideas at the time. ??

    How did I not notice this?

    This is a great idea @germankiwi, I think I’ll add it in Sermon Manager really soon
