Sermon browser plugin not recognising page with [sermon] shortcode

Hey guys,

 

I'm having an issue with sermon browser where I've created a page with the shortcode on it, but when I go to the sermons options page via the dashboard it still shows the hint "Hint: Create a page that includes the shortcode , so that SermonBrowser knows where to display the sermons on your site."

The bigger problem though is that the sermon widget on my front page produces links that aren't correct (because it doesn't know where the sermon page is located).

 

It produces links like this "http://grow.fernvalechurch.org.au/?sermon_id=1" rather than the correct "http://grow.fernvalechurch.org.au/sermons/?sermon_id=1"

 

I'm using the sermonbrowser plugin on another website with the same wordpress version 3.3 and it works fine. The only difference being that it was upgraded from an older version of wordpress whereas the one I'm having issues with was a fresh install of the latest 3.3 version.

 

Any ideas on how I could fix this, even if by manually editing the database, would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance

A few of questions:

On your Sermons page, are you using the shortcode "sermons" or "sermon"?

Does the shortcode have any options after it, or is it just the word "sermons"?

Have you put a "sermons" (or "sermon") shortcode on any other pages?

I was using the shortcode of  without any options.

The actual page that the sermons shortcode was on was working fine, it was only the recent sermons widget playing up.

I've just checked the site again today and now the widget is working and producing the correct links.

I haven't touched it since yesterday when it wasn't working so it must have just taken a little time for the widget to become aware of the correct sermon page.
