Developer Friendly

There are many hooks available to customize Advanced Sermons further. Everything from adding custom metabox fields, more filter sermon options, and new sections on the single sermon template.

I had to contact support as a recent update to my theme (Blocksy) caused my post excerpts to disappear. After working with the Blocksy support team, we determined that Advanced Sermons may have something to do with it. I contacted WPCodeus support. Although they are working on an updated of Advanced Sermons (v. 3), it wasn’t ready yet. Kevin from the support team was able to modify code in the Advanced Sermons Pro functions to bypass the problem until the new version is made public. Kevin was able to do it quickly, and everything is working as it should. Quick response to the problem, which is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I’ve been searching for a sermon plugin for a while, and saw this pop up. Unfortunately, the free version is practically useless, which is a real shame. Other free plugins at least offer some useful features, whereas this one limits what feels like 90% of the features, and most of those I’d consider essential…
