  • Multi-level leadership structure

    Multi-level leadership structure

    Screen Shot 2016-06-27 at 09.50.51Version 0.964 brings a big under the hood change that makes the church admin plugin so much more flexible for growing and larger churches.
    You can now have multi level oversight of ministries.

    The key area were this will be useful is small group leadership. Once you get more than 5 small groups, groups need coaches and overseers – much like Jethro instructed Moses to structure Israel in Exodus 1:17-22.

    So if you want to add small group coaches to your leadership structure, edit that ministry and fill in the “oversight name” text field. You can do that as many times as you like!

    Then on the Small Groups menu page, you’ll see your hierarchy of leadership…

    If you edit a small group , or add a new one…

    You can add people to that leadership level if there is no-one saved as one yet or choose form a drop-down of people with that ministry. Now as many as you like!

    The different levels of leadership are also displayed on public facing pages and posts through short codes too.

  • v0.942

    Apologies – somehow I have introduced a bug that auto emailed the next service rota every day – took two days to notice.
    A fix 0.943 will be uploaded tonight when I get home.

  • Version 0.910

    Sorry there have been so many releases this week – I’ve got some new users who have been getting in touch with bugs, so have been fixing them.

    This version

    • Sorts out spacing between prefixes (like “van” or “van der”) and last names
    • Internationalisation – Dutch is now done
    • Small groups – when you edit a group you can now edit the people in it too at the same time!

    If you spot any bugs, please point them out on the Support page and do get in touch if you can help with translating the plugin.

    I’m going to be writing an iOS app for churches using the plugin, so if you would like to donate towards getting a Mac then please use my donation link!

  • Version 0.900

    For today’s release I’ve tidied up the setting page and added the option to not show modules you don’t use.

    I have re-coded email sending to a one page form. You can also specify a different smtp server to send email – like gmail. The old settings never worked properly and are no longer used, so please re-add them on the settings page.

  • v0.832

    Today’s update does three things
    1) It adds a most requested feature – classes. Still in infant form but there. What would you like added to that feature to make it better?

    2) There are some language translation fixes

    3) I’ve begun to make email sending multipart so text only email clients can read them too (didn’t know people still had text only email clients, but there you go!). WordPress doesn’t do it well, so it’s taken a while to get it working!

  • Please update to v0.810

    Last night, I got an email pointing out a vulnerability in the

    Register/Login

    shortcode that allows a malicious person to add some javascript to the address field, which would make the address list pages vulnerable to XSS hacks.

    I’ve gone through all the code for the whole plugin, making sure that vulnerability was plugged and not repeated anywhere else. The WordPress security team have also been notified.

    Version 0.810 has got rid of the vulnerability. In the unlikely any malicious people have already exploited the vulnerabilty – their address field will look like a bunch of code but not actually do anything bad.

  • New look admin screen

    New look admin screenI’ve been finding scrolling down to find the right section of the church admin plugin a bit of a pain and the layout was looking a bit dated, so I have redesigned the layout using more native WordPress admin elements for v0.800. Hope you like it

    The follow up funnel section isn’t on a tab at the moment – is anyone using that feature?

  • 0.731 Update

    I’ve just updated the Church admin plugin to fix the following bugs…

    1. Service rota/schedule – sticks on first service, drop down menu restored.
    2. Mailchimp sync – there was an issue if you had no groups set up in Mailchimp, now fixed.
    3. Facilities – editing a facility added it as a new one again, noe fixed

    Please do keep reporting bugs through the Support forum

    To help finance my time working on the plugin – why not upgrade your church website to a smartphone friendly for £250 with hosting and domain name for the first year.
