License: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.html

== Description ==
= Who this is for =
This plugin is intended for a very specific audience. If you are *not* one of the below then this plugin will not be useful to you.
* Users of themes made by [churchthemes.com](http://churchthemes.com)
* Users of themes from other providers made *specifically* for use with this plugin
* Theme developers wanting to improve data portability among church WordPress sites
= What it does =
It enables users to manage *sermons*, *events*, *people* and *locations* to be displayed by a compatible theme.
Experienced WordPress developers agree that functionality like this does not belong in themes since themes are intended only for controlling the appearance of a WordPress site. Content that users might expect to take with them if they switch themes should "live" in a plugin in order to [avoid theme lock-in](http://churchthemes.com/2014/05/27/wordpress-theme-users-avoid-lock-in-effect/). Similarly, our approach is not to present content using the plugin since themes offer more control for that purpose. This is why a **compatible theme is required**.
See [screenshots](http://wordpress.org/plugins/church-theme-content/screenshots/) for a tour of features. Note also that sermon audio [podcasting](http://churchthemes.com/guides/user/content/sermons/sermon-podcasting/) is built-in and there is support for recurring events.
= Developers =
