Create Rotating Devotionals

TL;DR

Let's Do It Together!

Step 1: Access Posts

1. Navigate to Posts in your dashboard.

2. Find the category Daily Devotional which contains your existing posts.

3. Click on the category to view all posts.

You will see all Daily Devotional posts listed for use.

Step 2: Edit Daily Devotional Page

1. Go to Pages and find the Daily Devotional page.

2. Edit the page and expand the Document Overview.

3. Add a Query Loop using the Plus icon and search for it, then click on the block to add it to the page.

Step 3: Configure Query Loop

1. Expand the Query Loop settings.

2. Select the desired Post Type to display (e.g., Posts).

3. Select the Categories to filter the content to (e.g. Daily Devotional).

4. Choose how many you want to display in a result in the Items per Page (e.g. 1)

5. In the Document Overview, customize the Post Template.

6. Remove unnecessary elements like date, spacer, and pagination.

7. Use the + icon to search for any other content elements you want to include from the post into the Query Loop template (e.g. Content, which is the full content of the Post).

Your Daily Devotional will now display the selected content correctly.

Step 5: Implement Random Display

1. Access the Code Editor by clicking the three dots (Options) in the top right corner.

2. Change the Order By setting from "date" to "rand" for random display.

3. Exit the code editor.

Your setup will now show a random Daily Devotional on each refresh.

Step 6: Preview and Test

1. Click the Preview option to view changes in a new tab.

2. Refresh the page to see a new Daily Devotional displayed.

You should now have a functional rotating Daily Devotional display.
