Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Lectern

Yes. The sermon library, audio and video players, the block and [lectern] shortcode, the automatic archive, Bible-book seeding, and the Sermon Manager importer are all free. Lectern Pro adds the automatic podcast feed (with more features on the way) for churches that want it, and includes a 30-day free trial.

It doesn't need to. Most churches upload full-length video to YouTube or Vimeo and paste the link — Lectern embeds it. You can also upload audio (or smaller video files) to your Media Library and choose them with the "Select File" button.

Yes. Lectern works with any theme, classic or block. It adds your sermons to your theme's own pages and provides a block and shortcode, so it adapts to your design rather than replacing it. Its sermon cards and single-sermon layout adjust to your theme's colors in both light and dark.

Yes — Sermons → Import copies everything across in one click, including media and artwork. It reads the old data directly, so it works even if the Sermon Manager plugin is no longer installed. While both plugins are active they share the same "/sermons/" address; after importing, deactivate Sermon Manager and re-save Settings → Permalinks.

With Lectern Pro active, Lectern publishes an Apple/Spotify-compatible podcast feed built from every sermon that has an audio file. Set your podcast title, artwork, and details in Sermons → Settings, then submit the feed URL shown there to Apple Podcasts and Spotify. New sermons are added to the feed automatically.

No. Your sermons are safe by default. Only if you tick Settings → On uninstall → Permanently delete all sermons will deleting the plugin remove them.
