Set up your blog platform

What you’ll do: Give EBENEZER the details it needs to publish sermon articles straight to your church website.

About 15 minutes, once

This is the most technical page in EBENEZER, and it’s a one-off. If someone else manages your website, forward them this page — it says exactly what to fetch.

Go to Settings → Blog Platform. EBENEZER publishes to Wix or WordPress.

You can skip this entirely

Without it you can still generate articles and copy them into your website yourself. This just removes that step. If you’re not sure what your site runs on, leave it and come back.

If your site is on Wix

Three things to collect, all from your Wix account:

API Key — generate one in the Wix Developers Console. Copy it as soon as it’s made; Wix won’t show it again.
Site ID — visible in your Wix Dashboard web address, or under your site settings.
Member ID — your Wix account ID. Posts are published as this member, so use the account you want listed as the author.

Paste all three in and press Save Configuration.

If your site is on WordPress

Site URL — your website address with no slash on the end, like https://yourchurch.org.
Username — the WordPress admin account you’re publishing as.
Application Password — not your login password. Generate one in WordPress under Users → Profile → Application Passwords. It arrives as several short blocks of letters; copy it exactly, spaces included.

Why an application password

It’s a separate key that only lets EBENEZER post articles, and you can revoke it any time without changing your own login. If you ever stop using EBENEZER, delete that one password and the access is gone.

Check it works

Don’t wait until Sunday. Open a processed sermon, generate a blog post, and publish it. If it works, you’ll get a View Post link to your live site — and you can delete that test post from your website afterwards.

If publishing errors, it’s almost always a credential typed slightly wrong. Go back and re-paste each one rather than retyping.

Subsplash is no longer supported

If your settings still say Subsplash, switch to Wix or WordPress, or use copy-and-paste from the blog tab.
