Links get cleared on sermons (2.16.6)

    Hello! Thanks for creating such a useful plugin.

    I’m having an issue getting links to display on our sermons. Whenever I add a link in the sermon body and save, the wp-admin page refreshes and the links are gone again. Meanwhile, in the “Description” text area under “Sermon Details”, the links remain as expected.

    So if I enter as text:
    <a href="https://youtu.be/5J8WO4Otxh4">Worship on YouTube</a>
    and then save, on reload the page shows me:
    Worship on Youtube

    Interestingly, if I refresh the published sermon page while the backend is saving my changes, the links show up. But once the save/update is complete, the links are stripped again.

    Versions:
    WordPress: 5.6.1
    Sermon Manager: 2.16.6
    PHP 7.3.27

    One more update ??

    This happens only when “Theme Compatibility: Use alternative layout override” is turned on in the settings — turning that off causes links to work again.

    I got your e-mail, but figured I’d respond here so all can see.

    I think it’s a bug, but I don’t think it’s a priority. You need to create a child theme first. If you don’t and just edit your parent theme, you changes will be lost when the developer updates your theme. Then go into the Sermon Manager plugin folder and open ‘views’. You need to copy single-wpfc_sermon.php to your child theme’s folder/directory (your-child-theme/single-wpfc_sermon.php).

    That should take care of it.

    Ah awesome, that makes sense, thanks @hikinmike! Interestingly, turning off that theme compatibility setting fixed the issue for me, but if hear back that we need that setting enabled after all, I’ll give that a shot. Either way, thank you for documenting the fix here for everyone else to see!

    Best,
    Chris
