Sorry, unfortunately I didn't find any Sermons

I have been wrestling with this issue for almost 2 weeks. I've read through all the forums and followed all the instructions and yet I still can't get the sermons to display on the front end.

I finally see them in the backend with all categories and series information populated, but when I create a menu link to either a list of sermons or series or categories I get the error that says sorry, unfortunately I didn't find any sermons.

By the way, this is a migration from a Joomla! 1.5 site to a Joomla! 3.2 site following all the instructions that I have found. Any help, and soon, would be very much appreciated.

It usually means some filtering related is set wrong.
First make sure each sermon, series and speaker has a category assigned. That is especially important because you migrated from Joomla! 1.5 where those were not yet a required field.
After that make sure that the menu item has the correct category set.

To test if it's an issue with the menu items, you can use the URL /index.php?option=com_sermonspeaker&view=sermons or ...&view=feed. That should list all sermons.

If that doesn't help, you can send me the URL of your site so I can have a look. Maybe I find something.

First of all, thank you for the very prompt response.

Okay, in the 1.5 site everything was just uncategorized and so I left it that way for the migration. Now, after getting your response, I tried to create a new category and I received the following error:

Here's the URL to the site:

If you need admin access it's no problem. I can PM you login information.

Sounds like the database did not update properly.
You can try to install SermonSpeaker over your existing installation and see if it does trigger the update. Otherwise it will need some manual database work.

To which SermonSpeaker version did you update?

I took the Joomla! 1.5 version all the way up to sermonspeaker 3.4.4. Then I installed 4.5.4 on my Joomla! 3.2 site. I then copied the databases, per the documentation I found, from the Joomla! 1.5 site to the Joomla! 3.2 site. Then I updated from there to sermonspeaker 5.1.2.

I followed the instructions I found here: www.sermonspeaker.net/faq/27-how-do-i-mi...rmonspeaker-4-x.html

Then, I had issues similar to those found here: www.sermonspeaker.net/forum/sermonspeake...-3-4-3.html?start=78 and I followed those instructions, too.

After copying the database, did you install 4.5.4 again (like explained in the FAQ) or did you update directly to 5.x? Because if you didn't install SermonSpeaker 4.5.4 again, that would explain it.
