Run Your First Sync
The full sync imports sermon content from Planning Center Publishing. Events do not use this import; event blocks request current Calendar data when they render.
Prerequisites
Section titled “Prerequisites”Kleis must show Connected to Planning Center, and at least one episode should be published in Planning Center Publishing.
Run the sync
Section titled “Run the sync”- Go to Settings > Kleis for Planning Center.
- Find Manual Sync.
- Select Run Manual Sync.
- Keep the browser open until WordPress reports that the sync completed.
- Note the value beside Last Full Sync.
- Open Episodes in WordPress and inspect a recently published episode.
What the sync imports
Section titled “What the sync imports”Kleis creates or updates native Episode posts and synchronizes:
- title, description, and Planning Center publish date
- episode artwork as the featured image
- hosted or external sermon audio details
- episode resource links
- the Church Center episode URL
- channel, series, and speaker terms
The source fields are managed by Planning Center. A later sync can replace WordPress edits to synchronized episode fields. Build the shared presentation in WordPress templates rather than manually redesigning each imported episode.
If you merge duplicate people in Planning Center, Kleis keeps their existing WordPress speaker archive and sermon links connected to the primary person on the next sync.
If content is missing
Section titled “If content is missing”Confirm the episode is published to the Planning Center library and that the connected account can access Publishing. Then rerun the sync. See sync and connection help for individual missing fields.
