If you figure this out, would you be able to share your findings? I’m very much interested in doing something similar

Update: I solved the issue! It looks like it had something to do with how the sermons were imported. I imported all the sermons complete with their respective series and speakers from a backup and for some reason it meant that the series and speakers were not being picked up by that shortcode. All I had to do was upload a test sermon and add all the previously imported speakers to that sermon, as well as the imported series. Once that test sermon was published, the shortcode became populated with all the information! I then deleted the test sermon but the problem remained fixed!

Thanks for trying to help – I really appreciate you taking the time ??

Hi, thanks for replying. I’m afraid I’m not quite sure what you mean by the links being broken. They work for me over here. I have a plugin active at the moment that displays a “coming soon” message so perhaps it appeared broken because it was redirecting you there? Either way I have disabled that plugin to investigate and the links don’t appear to be broken from my end.

I’m afraid disabling all the plugins didn’t fix the issue. Is there anything else that can be attempted to solve it? What is also confusing is that as you can see on the page I provided a link for, the [sermons] and [sermon_sort_fields] shortcodes work just fine, it’s just the ones revolving around [list_sermons]etc do not.

Hi Mike,

My apologies. I didn’t post the page earlier because the website was in coming soon mode and didn’t know how to exclude certain pages. I’ve since figured it out so here is the page

Update: I attempted to submit the feed address provided by Sermons Manager (https://www.newcreationchurch.co.uk/?feed=rss2&post_type=wpfc_sermon) to iTunes and was given an error message that says “Can’t parse your feed.”. Further attempts to validate the feed have returned messages like “It looks like this is a web page, not a feed. I looked for a feed associated with this page, but couldn’t find one. Please enter the address of your feed to validate.”. What am I doing wrong?

Hi Nikola,
Thank you for your response! I successfully changed the URL on the settings page and there has definitely been progress. It looks like I have now hit another road block and I really hope you can help!

When attempting to validate the RSS feed, I’m given the following errors “Sorry
This feed does not validate.

line 1, column 0: Undefined root element: br [help]

<br />
line 2, column 0: XML parsing error: <unknown>:2:0: junk after document element [help]

<b>Warning</b>: strpos(): Empty needle in <b>/home/newcrear/public_html/wp- …”

Is there anything that can be done to fix this?
