  2. Edit the post or page where you want to embed the sermon.
  3. Paste the URL on a line by itself in the editor or as the URL of an Embed block
  4. Presto! The URL will turn into an embedded player for your sermon.

Share a profile

  2. Edit the post or page where you want to embed the profile
  3. Paste the URL on a line by itself in the editor or as the URL of an Embed block
  4. Another presto! Your URL will turn into the most recent sermons playlist.

Share a series

  1. Copy the URL of the series page
  2. Edit the post or page where you want to embed the sermon series
  3. Paste the URL on a line by itself in the editor or as the URL of an Embed block

Settings

The plugin settings page under Settings->SoundFaith Embed contains the same settings available under the “Embed” dialog on SoundFaith.com

I have no affiliation with Faithlife. I built this plugin because I needed an easier way to embed sermons for the preaching staff at my church. Enjoy!

Installation

  1. Upload to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
  3. Edit the settings under Settings->Sermon Embed
  4. Embed sermons or playlists by pasting the URL in a post

FAQ

How can I change the width of my embedded sermons?

The embedded player size is calculated with your theme’s $content_width variable. If your theme doesn’t have this set, the embed will default to 600px wide. Learn more in the Codex.

How do I customize what metadata are included in the embed?

Go to Settings->Sermon Embed and select which metadata you’d like included. These mirror the embed options found on Faithlife Sermons.
