Many web servers have a file size upload limit. If you have large audio or video files you may need to upload your files using FTP.

Before you begin you will need the following:

• Your FTP server: ftp.example.com
• FTP username: yourName
• FTP user password: example4Pass1w0rd
• Location of the large file(s) on your hard drive. These files should NOT have spaces or special characters. I think it is a good practice, avoids potential problems, and simplifies troubleshooting.

Upload the files using FTP:

1. Launch your favorite FTP client and log into your FTP server.
2. Navigate to the Sermon Browser Upload folder. The default folder is wp-content/uploads/sermons/
   • Note: For most of my customers I set the base FTP directory as the Sermon directory. This means that you will not need to locate the sermons folder (you are already in it).
3. Locate the file(s) on your hard drive.
4. Upload the file(s) and wait for the upload to complete.

Verify the files are found in the Sermon Browser:

This verification step is not mandatory, but it is a good idea to check that you can see the files in the Uploads area.

1. Log into your WordPress site
2. Click on Sermons on the lower right part of the page
3. Click on Uploads underneath Sermons.
4. The files should be listed as Unlinked files

Add a Sermon and choose the file. This step is the same as adding a sermon the regular way but you choose an existing file rather than upload one.

Adding a sermon using the WordPress Sermon Browser plugin is pretty straight forward. There is additional help available from the Sermon Browser administrator area too.

1. Log into your WordPress site
2. Click on Sermons on the lower right part of the page
3. Click on Add Sermon. From the
4. Enter the sermon Title.
5. Select the Preacher or select Create new preacher from the drop down.
6. Enter the sermon Date.
7. Select the Service or select Create new service from the drop down.
8. Enter the Time the sermon was preached.
9. Enter some Tags. Tags are simply descriptive keywords for your sermon. These are free form and help users find related sermons. For example, if you have several sermons that mention the resurrection this might be a good tag.
10. Select the sermon Series or select Create new series from the drop down.
11. Add the Bible passage(s):
    1. Select the book of the bible and enter the first chapter and verse.
    2. If the bible passage is more than one verse, select the ending book, chapter and verse.
    3. If you have multiple bible passages add more
12. Add the sermon Attachments. You can add more than one attachment using multiple formats. You can add a PDF, Word Document, PowerPoint Presentation, audio files and/or video files. Files may be added in multiple ways:
    1. Choose existing file: Use this option if you already uploaded a file. This is handy for large files that you added using FTP.
    2. Upload a new one: If you file is under the server size limit you can upload the file now.
    3. Enter a URL: If the file exists on the web already, you can enter the file URL.
    4. Enter embed code: This is handy for YouTube files and other services that have embed codes.
