Welcome back to CCB Tutorials!
Today’s tutorial is not necessarily a tutorial that focuses on Church Community Builder (CCB) and its API per se.
However, I think today’s tutorial is one that many CCB customers (that’s you!) have been wanting to identify and achieve for their own website.
There are a multitude of CCB customers with a wide variety of platforms used for their church’s web presence.
Most churches tend to develop their website using a content management system (CMS), such as WordPress, Drupal, and Joomla to name a few.
Although there are wide range of platforms to build and develop an effective website, most churches tend to select WordPress for its ease of use (review one-click WordPress install), and that it’s commonly supported software amongst thousands of web hosting providers.
But what does WordPress have to do with CCB Tutorials, right?
Well, it’s likely that you’ve become familiar with Getting Started Toolbox for writing CCB Tutorials using a public web host, such as GoDaddy, BlueHost or HostGator, or a local hosting environment using XAMPP.
And although you have your website in one environment and CCB Tutorials in another environment, the question most people want answered is the following:
How do I add PHP code to WordPress?
The good news is that I have a answer for you by way of a video tutorial.
I’m sharing a tutorial video that outlines how to integrate or add your standalone CCB Tutorials or PHP code in general to your WordPress website.
Although I tend to use GoDaddy, HostGator, and Bluehost for web hosting my primary and side web projects, I’m introducing a new host that offers WordPress hosting that is affordable, speedy and easy to use as you’ll see viewing the video tutorial.
What does the video tutorial cover?
As for the tutorial itself, I encourage you to watch it in its entirety. As a summary, here is what I cover in the tutorial:
- Installing the Insert PHP plugin to WordPress
- Adding Insert PHP shortcode to open ([insert_php]) and close ([/insert_php]) custom PHP scripts
- Adding CCB Tutorials or Custom PHP code using cPanel FileManager or FTP (FTP mentioned but not covered – use CuteFTP or FileZilla)
- Using InMotion Hosting’s WordPress Hosting

I’ll be glad to assist you in successfully adding PHP code to WordPress. However, that’s only if the request is not too laborious or time consuming. Sorry I have other responsibilities too. 🙂
