How do I edit the Sermon Template page?
Customize the layout of individual sermon pages
1. Sermon Template is a section that allows you to configure the appearance for every Sermon post
Sermon Template acts as a draft, so every time you create a new post, it follows the structure and style you've set in the Sermon Template, replicating the layout for every post
By default, the Sermon Template page layout has the following Sermons widgets: Sermon Name, Published On, Sermon Series, Search Filters Taxonomy, Sermon Content, Recent Sermons
2. All templates except the Main Page template only allow you to set the Header, Footer, Background, and Code Injection in Page Properties. See this guide on how to configure these settings
