v1.6.2

Highlights

A focused release that fixes a critical visibility bug from 1.6.0, adds power-user tooling for SermonAudio churches, and cleans up a handful of mobile and display issues.

🛠️ Visibility Recovery

In 1.6.0, imported sermons (CSV and SermonAudio) were silently flagged as hidden and excluded from the main sermon list. 1.6.2 fixes the root cause and ships two recovery tools under Messages → Tools:

• Migrate Visibility Settings carries forward any sermons you intentionally hid in earlier versions.
• Reset All Sermons to Visible un-hides everything affected by the bug, while correctly preserving inheritance from hidden Series or Service Types.

The per-sermon checkbox is now "Exclude from Main List" (default unchecked), matching the existing Series and Service Type controls.

🎙️ SermonAudio Power Tools

• WP-CLI command: wp cp sermonaudio import runs imports synchronously from the command line. Supports --dry-run for safe previews, --recent[=count] for incremental syncs, and --max-batches=<n> for smoke tests on large broadcasters. Perfect for scripted/scheduled imports.
• Minimum Audio Duration setting in the SermonAudio adapter — skip short clips, intros, and announcements at import time.

🐛 Other Fixes

• Vimeo videos now reliably unmute on iOS using a shared helper with chained promises.
• All scripture references display on sermon detail views (previously only the first reference showed in some layouts).
• Sermon sort order is correct on speaker pages and taxonomy archives.

Upgrade Notice

After updating, visit Messages → Tools to run the visibility migration if you're coming from 1.6.0 or 1.6.1. It's quick, safe, and will tell you whether any sermons were lost to the import bug.
