A helpful WordPress plugin that automatically adds a helpful popup to any Bible verses you type in your posts that displays the verse.
Get it on the WordPress plugin directory: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bible-buddy/
Setup and Configuration
This plugin adds a pop-up to all posts on your blog that contain a verse reference. A verse reference is a simple set of characters that meet a format specified in the plugin settings page. The verse reference
will contain three special tokens:
- '\B' = book of the Bible
- '\C' = chapter of that book of the bible
- '\V' = verse from that chapter. Any time a verse reference is found in a post, the plugin will automatically underline it with a dashed line, and it will become clickable. Upon being clicked, the verse popup will appear. This is a popup card that will stick to the verse reference and it will show what that verse actually says. This is meant to save space and time for the author, so they can reference Bible verses in their posts without making their posts unnecessarily long and verbose.
There are currently four themes supported in this plugin:
- traditional
- cool
- light
- dark
Dependencies and APIs
Currently, this plugin utilizes the api provided by https://bible-api.com to pull all verses. As some versions are incomplete, the plugin only supports a selection of the versions offered by the api. This source is subject
to change in the future!
This plugin was also built using popper.js. Check that project out here: https://popper.js.org
Open Source!
This plugin is offered for free to anyone who wants to add wisdom from the Bible to their posts. Support and development may or may not continue, but any work anyone can do to improve this plugin to help it accomplish its
purpose of helping spread the word of God would be much appreciated!
