I would like to target exclusively the Sermons Posts via some PHP in my functions.php. Where my code calls for have_posts() or the_post(), what do I change to target just Sermons posts? Thank you

I would like to show scheduled sermons that are upcoming to be published at a later date. I have the code to do this for upcoming scheduled posts, but I just need to change in the code so it displays upcoming sermons and not posts or stories. I’m not sure how to explain with a screenshot. I’ll paste the code I’m using in my child theme functions.php below. Thank you.

function wpb_upcoming_posts() { // The query to fetch future posts $the_query = new WP_Query(array( ‘post_status’ => ‘future’, ‘posts_per_page’ => 3, ‘orderby’ => ‘date’, ‘order’ => ‘ASC’ ));

// The loop to display posts if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) { echo ‘

    ’; while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) { $the_query->the_post(); $output .= ‘
  • ’ . get_the_title() .’ (’. get_the_time(‘d-M-Y’) . ‘)
  • ’; } echo ‘
’;

} else { // Show this when no future posts are found $output .= ‘

No posts planned yet.

’; }

// Reset post data wp_reset_postdata();

// Return output

return $output; } // Add shortcode add_shortcode(‘upcoming_posts’, ‘wpb_upcoming_posts’); // Enable shortcode execution inside text widgets add_filter(‘widget_text’, ‘do_shortcode’);

Hello again,

Thank you for your clarification. You need to add post_type attribute to the WP_Query to pull sermons:

$the_query = new WP_Query( array( 'post_type' => 'sermons', 'post_status' => 'future', 'posts_per_page' => 3, 'orderby' => 'date', 'order' => 'ASC' ) );

Hope this helps. Let us know if you have any other questions or need further help.

Thanks, Ibrahim

Perfect. Thank you!

Hello, I am suddenly having problems adding sermons in “Sermons” over the past week or two. When I “Add New” and click on either the “Audio” or “Video” tabs, nothing happens. I have updated both Bethlehem and WordPress to their latest versions. Thanks for the help!

Hello there,

Thank you for purchasing our theme and for reaching us. Please email our support from the Support tab with your WP admin details. We’ll take a look into your issue.

Kindest Regards, MadrasThemes

Hi, I have updated the theme to the latest version. It says it contains the plugins but there is no plugins in the asset folder in the zip file. I am unable to edit pages in the WPBakery editor as it just loads up a white page. This is in Chrome, I have cleared the cache.

Hello there,

Thank you for purchasing our theme and for reaching us. Please de-activate and delete WP Bakery Page Builder and Bethlehem Extensions plugin. Once you’ve done that, you can install the latest versions from Appearance > Install Plugins.

If you are facing issues, you can share with us your WP admin details through and support and we’ll resolve it for you.

Thanks, Ibrahim

Hi Ibrahim, Thanks I have done what you suggested and it installed the latest versions of the plugins. But still getting a blank page when editing a page with WP bakery.

Hello there,

Thank you for getting back. Please email our support with your WP admin details. We’ll check the issue.

Thanks, Ibrahim

Since the update, the Sermons page no longer allows uploads – it gives me a blank white screen when attempting to upload a file. I added “jQuery Migrate Helper” plugin, which helps with my visual composer issue” but when i try working on a new sermon i get this warning ”.../wp-content/themes/bethlehem//inc/admin/post-formats/js/admin.js: jQuery.fn.live() is deprecated”. Has anyone had an issue with sermons?

Hello there,

Thank you for reaching us. Please update the theme to its latest version to resolve this issue.

You can update the theme can be updated in 3 ways:

1. Automatically: You can use the Envato Market plugin to update the Theme automatically. Instructions here: https://ibndawood.com/how-to-update-a-themeforest-wordpress-theme-or-a-codecanyon-wordpress-plugin/

2. Semi-Automatically: Sometimes, (1) does not work. You should install this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/easy-theme-and-plugin-upgrades/ , download the latest installable WP theme zip file from your Themeforest downloads page and then upload it via Appearance > Themes > Add New > Upload Theme and upload the zip file. The “easy upgrades” plugin will backup the old Theme and install the new one.

3. Manually: You should download the latest installable WP theme from your ThemeForest downloads page, rename your current theme folder in wp-content/themes folder, unzip the downloaded WP theme from your Themeforest downloads page and upload it to wp-content/themes folder.

Please note that updating a theme will override any custom changes that you make to the parent theme. Hence we recommend using a child theme. A child theme is not meant to be updated and should contain only your custom changes. Also, we strongly advise that you backup your website and database before updating. It allows you to roll back the update if anything goes wrong after update.

Thanks, Ibrahim

Hi,

We purchased the Bethlehem theme a few years ago and just updated to the recent version. The website is up to date except the WPBakery Page Builder plugin. We have version 5.7 installed and would like to update to the latest version 6.2.

How can we update WPBakery Page Builder? Do we have to purchase a separate license key or is there a possibility to update the plugin through the theme or you?

Thank you

Hello there,

Once you’ve updated the theme, please de-activate and delete WP Bakery Page Builder from “Plugins” page in admin panel and install the latest version from Appearance > Install Plugins.

Hello,

I am having trouble with this theme. I have a page created with a sidebar using the sidebar widget. Every setting I see is set to “left sidebar” but the sidebar is still showing on the right side. Is there a setting I am missing or not seeing for pages?

Thank you for reaching us. May I request you to post your support question from the same account that you used to purchase the theme. Support is restricted to customers only and unfortunately I cannot verify your purchase against this account.

Just letting you know that none of the links work in your demo. Home page (v2 demo) looks nice but NONE of the links on the V2 Demo site work, to any other page, always a 404. Thought you would want to know. Other two demos are fine.

Hello there,

Thank you for your interest in our theme and for noticing the issues in our website. We had recently moved to our new server and the links were not refreshed. Now the links are re-generated and you can access them all.

Let us know if you have any other questions.

Hi,

In the 1.4.8 download, assets/plugins folder only contains bethlehem-extensions.zip archive. Is this correct? Shouldn’t js_composer and revslider should be included there? My site broke when updating Bethlehem theme using Envato plugin and I want to re-upload everything manually using all latest versions.

Thank you for getting back. Let me check the files again. Were you able to resolve the issues? Please let me know.

All issues were resolved. Just wanted to let you know about the 1.4.4 version files.

Thank you for informing about this. I will check the files and will resolve it in the upcoming update.

Hello, I’m having trouble activating breadcrumb on pages. Is there a specific location to activate the functionality besides activating the Woocommerce plugin?

Hello Ibrahim I believe it has not worked. The title is not appearing with this update. The title’s

appears empty in the html.

Thank you! Worked perfectly!

Hi there! I had a quick pre-sale question! Do you have a sermon shortcode so I can put sermons on a pastors bio page (only that person’s sermons) or ministry page (from only that ministry)?

Hello there,

Thank you for your interest in our theme. Apologies for not responding earlier, we were closed during weekends. Please note our response time is 1 business day and we are closed on Saturday and Sunday which are weekends.

Currently we do not have shortcodes for sermons. However we can help you with this requirement through custom coding.

Thanks, Ibrahim

I just upgraded the theme to latest version. Unfortunately, both the testimonials and team plugins cause errors so right now I’ve had to turn them off. Here’s an example of the teams error.

Deprecated: Function create_function() is deprecated in /home/fcfonlin/public_html/wp-content/plugins/our-team-by-woothemes/classes/class-woothemes-widget-our-team.php on line 324

Is there any easy fix for this?

Hello there,

Thank you for reaching us. We’ve fixed this in our recent release. Please update Bethlehem theme. Once you’ve done that, de-activate and delete our team by WooThemes plugin. After that install a fresh copy from Appearance > Install Plugins.

Hope this helps. Let us know if you have any other questions or need further help.

Thanks, Ibrahim

That was it. I wasn’t “deleting”.

Glad your issue is resolved. Please do not hesitate to reach us if you have any questions related to our theme.
