## Description

**EvangelOS Sync** is the official WordPress plugin for [EvangelOS](https://getevangelos.com),
the church management system built for modern ministries.

Once connected, your WordPress site stays automatically in sync with your EvangelOS
account — events appear on your website the moment they’re created in EvangelOS,
sent announcements and newsletters are published as posts, and website visitors 
can submit prayer requests directly into your EvangelOS prayer request queue.

#### What it does

**Events sync** — Public church events created in EvangelOS are automatically imported
into a `church_event` custom post type in WordPress. Events are updated when they
change in EvangelOS, and optionally trashed when they’re deleted. Supports filtering
to upcoming-only and public-only events.

**Communications sync** — Sent announcements, newsletters, and other communications
from EvangelOS are automatically published as WordPress posts, organized into categories.
Great for keeping your website’s news section current without copy-pasting.

**Prayer requests** — Add the `[evangelos_prayer_request]` shortcode to any page
to display a prayer request form. Submissions go directly into EvangelOS so your
pastoral team sees them immediately. A `/prayer-requests/` page is created automatically
on activation.

#### Features

 * One-click connection test to verify your API key
 * Configurable sync schedule: hourly, twice daily, or daily
 * Sync history dashboard showing the last 25 runs with created/updated/skipped/
   error counts
 * Manual sync trigger — no need to wait for the scheduled run
 * Smart upsert logic — only writes to the database when data has actually changed
 * Optional deletion sync — trash WordPress content when it’s removed from EvangelOS
 * Lightweight — no bloat, no third-party dependencies, uses WordPress core HTTP
   APIs

#### Requirements

 * An active [EvangelOS](https://getevangelos.com) account
 * An API key generated in EvangelOS under **Settings  API**
 * For prayer requests: a Website Guest member created in EvangelOS and the `MEMBER_PORTAL_ACCESS`
   permission enabled on your API key

## Installation

 1. Upload the `evangelos-sync` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory, or 
    install directly through the WordPress Plugins screen.
 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** screen in WordPress.
 3. Go to **EvangelOS  Settings** in the WordPress admin sidebar.
 4. Enter your **EvangelOS API URL** (default: `https://api.evangelos.app`) and your**
    API Key** (starts with `ek_`).
 5. Click **Save Settings**, then click **Test Connection** to confirm everything is
    working.
 6. Configure your sync schedule and choose which content types to sync.
 7. To enable prayer requests: create a member named **“Website Guest”** in EvangelOS,
    copy their Member ID, and paste it into the **Prayer Requests** section. Then add`[
    evangelos_prayer_request]` to any page — or use the `/prayer-requests/` page created
    automatically on activation.

## FAQ

### Where do I get an API key?

Log in to your EvangelOS account, go to **Settings  API**, and generate a new key.
Keys start with `ek_`. Keep your key private — it provides access to your organization’s
data.

### What is the “Website Guest” member?

When a visitor submits a prayer request through your website, EvangelOS needs a 
member to file it under. Create a placeholder member in EvangelOS called “Website
Guest” (or similar), then copy their Member ID (a UUID) into the plugin’s Prayer
Requests settings. The visitor’s name and email are appended to the request text
so your pastoral team knows who sent it.

### How often does the sync run?

You can choose hourly, twice daily (every 12 hours), or daily. You can also trigger
a manual sync at any time from the **Sync Status** tab. Sync runs are powered by
WordPress cron (`wp-cron`), so they depend on site traffic. On low-traffic sites,
consider using a server-side cron job to call `wp-cron.php` directly.

### Will it overwrite content I’ve edited in WordPress?

The plugin uses an update-timestamp check — if EvangelOS reports that a record hasn’t
changed since the last sync, the WordPress post is left untouched. However, if the
record is updated in EvangelOS, the sync will overwrite the WordPress post content
with the new data from EvangelOS. Treat EvangelOS as the source of truth for synced
content.

### What happens to events deleted in EvangelOS?

By default, nothing — the WordPress post is left in place. If you enable **Trash
WordPress events deleted in EvangelOS** in Settings, deleted events will be moved
to the WordPress Trash (not permanently deleted) on the next sync.

### Can I use this without an EvangelOS account?

No — the plugin requires a live EvangelOS account and API key to function. Visit
[getevangelos.com](https://getevangelos.com) to learn more.

### Does this work with any WordPress theme?

The event sync creates a `church_event` custom post type. Your theme needs to support(
or at least not conflict with) custom post types to display events. The communications
sync uses standard WordPress posts, which work with any theme. The prayer request
form renders with basic styles that you can override in your theme’s CSS.

### Is my API key stored securely?

Your API key is stored in the WordPress options table, the same way WordPress stores
all plugin settings. For additional security, we recommend restricting database 
access on your server and using a dedicated low-permission API key in EvangelOS 
that is scoped to read-only access (plus `MEMBER_PORTAL_ACCESS` if using prayer 
requests).
