adding text to sermon archive page

[Carolyn Ellis]

Hi,

I’d like to add some text to my archive page. We’re removing sermons from an outgoing minister and would like to add an explanation. Anything written in the text editor box doesn’t show up on the page. Is there a code I can use to override this?

Thank you!

Stacy

Hello Stacy,

Excellent question there. The “series” page does have a spot where you can enter text above the list of series, but the individual podcast archive doesn’t.

But we can manually add in some text there if you’d like to. Here’s how:

1. Go to the Appearance section in your WordPress dashboard and choose Edit.
2. From the list of files on your right, choose archive-podcast.php
3. Look for this line:

   
   <div class="page-full" id="content">
   

   and add your text right below that. For your best results, place this before your text:

   
   <p>
   

   and this after your text:

   
   </p>
   

   Those start and close paragraphs in HTML.

4. When you’re finished, save your changes.

That should let you add in your text. Let me know if you run into any trouble.

Thanks,
Bill
