Our development and project team are continuously working to bring new functionality (much of which you can find out about at: www.achurchnearyou.com/roadmap) to AChurchNearYou.com, but they’re also constantly improving the existing experience for editors and the public. There are some things which we're aware of which aren't functioning as editors would expect, or which are causing editors to encountering issues when using, these are listed below:
Norton flagging site as unsafe
Please be assured that A Church Near You is safe to use. There is currently an issue which is being experienced by users who have security software from Norton installed which we hope will be resolved over the next few days.
Frequency of Services and Events on the homepage text issue
The project team are aware that there is an issue with text relating to the frequency of recurring events displayed on a church's homepage. For instance, a Service or Event which occurs every Thursday might display as: Every day Thursday at 10 a.m. for 1hr. The development team are investigating this.
Services and Events: Web link not displaying
The project team are aware that when editors add a web link in the web link field on a service or event that link/button is not appearing on the service or event when the public views it. They have escalated this to the developers to resolve.
News and Notices: only one item displaying
The project team are aware of a bug where for some churches only one item is displayed, despite there being more than one item uploaded. The developers are investigating this.
Gallery text not editable after photo upload and the images cannot be re-ordered
The project team have been made aware of these behaviours and will be looking to expand the functionality shortly. UPDATE 5/10/18: These features have been added to the roadmap. For now, in order to change the text or change the order of photos editors will need to delete the photo(s) and re-upload.
Postcode not appearing on Get in Touch
On the Get in Touch page, if you enter a postcode into the postcode box it's currently not appearing on the Get in Touch page, but if you put the postcode in the address box it will appear. Our development team are working to resolve this. In the meantime, please enter the postcode into the address box.

Church is in a Team Ministry and another vicar from within the team is appearing in the Crockford's Contact Details section of More Information
This is a known issue, and you can find more on this issue if you click here.
Clergy appearing multiple times on More Information tab
We are aware of an issue whereby some clergy are appearing twice in the More Information section of churches on AChurchNearYou.com, although only being listed once on the church's Crockford's entry. Our development team are working to resolve this.
Previous issues which have now been resolved:
RESOLVED Friday 5th October 2018:
- Church homepages are now showing latest services/events if that option is selected
- Past events will no longer appear on church homepages
- Event duration is displaying on church homepages
- Church homepage forms are saving ('fill in all required fields' issue resolved)
- News and notices now visible to all users
Previously resolved:
RESOLVED: Tag names repeating
We are aware of an issue affecting some events whereby, if they're clicked though to from the calendar view, the tag appears to repeat itself. For example COFFEE becomes COFFEECOFFEE.
RESOLVED: Services and Events every week tick boxes
If an editor ticks the 'every week' box - when you hit save it auto-ticks all the every first, second, third etc week (to save you time).
The functionality is working correctly, but what you're seeing with regards to tick boxes isn't displaying correctly.
The development team are currently updating this so that when an editor ticks every week it says every week not first second third etc.
RESOLVED: One Off Service or Event is selected but error message says to select One Off or Regular Service or Event
Editors are finding that when they enter an event and select One Off Service or Event then save that they encounter an error message which says they need to select either One Off or Regular Service or Event.
This error message is usually displayed when not all the fields on the Service or Event have been correctly filled in. Our team are aware that the error message is confusing, and are working to make the process clearer.
In the meantime, click here for guidance on adding a new Service or Event.
