Byte Sermons gives churches everything they need to publish and organize sermon content on their WordPress website — without locking you into a specific theme or page builder.

Key Features

Sermon custom post type — A dedicated post type built for sermons, with support for title, content, excerpt, and featured image.
Video embed support — Paste a YouTube, Vimeo, or Rumble URL and the video is automatically embedded in a responsive 16:9 player.
Series management — Group sermons into series with a title, image, and description. Each series gets its own archive page with a hero banner and sermon grid.
Speaker / preacher profiles — Assign sermons to one or more preachers. Each preacher gets a profile page with photo, bio, and their full sermon listing.
Topic categorization — Tag sermons with topics (Faith, Prayer, Grace, etc.) so visitors can browse by theme.
Scripture references — Link sermons to specific Bible books and chapters. All 66 books of the Bible are pre-loaded, organized by chapter.
Live-filter sermon library — The sermon archive page includes an instant filter bar — search by keyword, series, preacher, or topic without a page reload.
Beautiful archive pages — Every taxonomy (series, speakers, topics, scripture) has a purpose-built archive template that fits seamlessly into your theme.
Theme-agnostic layout — Works with any WordPress theme. Plugin pages inherit the active theme’s header, footer, typography, and colors.
Layout settings — Control left/right padding on desktop, tablet, and mobile independently from the Sermons Settings page.
Custom permalink slugs — Customize the URL structure for every content type from Settings Permalinks.

Who Is This For?

Byte Sermons is designed for churches of any size that want a clean, focused way to share sermon content online — without the complexity of a full church management system.

Template Override Support

Any template can be overridden by placing a same-named file inside your theme’s folder. This gives designers and developers full control over the presentation of every sermon page.
