Title: WP-Bible Author: matejn Published: February 11, 2008 Last modified: July 2, 2013 --- Search plugins This plugin **hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress**. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress. ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/wp-bible.svg) # WP-Bible By [matejn](https://profiles.wordpress.org/matejn/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/wp-bible.zip) * [Details](https://pcd.wordpress.org/plugins/wp-bible/#description) * [Reviews](https://pcd.wordpress.org/plugins/wp-bible/#reviews) * [Installation](https://pcd.wordpress.org/plugins/wp-bible/#installation) * [Development](https://pcd.wordpress.org/plugins/wp-bible/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-bible/) ## Description WP-Bible searches your posts and pages for any reference to a Bible passage and converts the reference to an actual biblical text – which can be any of the 38 translations( in 14 different languages) that you can see at [BIBLIJA.net](http://www.biblija.net/biblija.cgi?set=5&lang=en). Or, you can select that plugin only makes links to the biblical text. No special tagging of biblical references is needed, the plugin recognizes different( up to 12) names for the same book in the Bible (for example: you can type Matthew 5:1-11 or Mat 5:1-11 or Mt 5:1-11 or you can even use other standards for marking biblical references like Mat 5,1-11.15-17;6,1-3. All this will do. Plugin then changes the reference for a link and when you click the link a small layer is shown above containing the biblical text. No opening other windows, no popups. ## Screenshots * [[ * This screenshot shows the text with a reference to one biblical passage (Mt 5: 1-11) and you can see it being linked. * [[ * When you move your mouse above the link, a layer with biblical text is displayed. * [[ * This is the Administration interface ## Installation #### Installation You must download wp-bible.zip and unzip the content to `/wp-content/plugins/` directory. Then you must activate the plugin in the `Plugins menu` of your blog’s Administration panel. The default bible version is `World English Bible - WEB`, if you want to change that, go to `Options | WP-Bible` and choose a version you want. Using another plugin that does a similar thing is not advised. #### Usage When your plugin is activated just type the usual biblical references and the plugin will find them. Usually they look like: * Mat 5:1-11 * Mat 5:1-11.14.20 * Mat 5:1-11.14-16;6,1-3 and similar You can use many different book names, let’s see just an example for Gospel of Matthew: Mt, Mat, Matt, Matej, Matevž, Matthew, Matteüs, Matteus, Matthäus, Mateo. As you can see not only English names are supported. Please let me know if you’d like to add other book names that the plugin doesn’t recognize. ## FAQ Which Bible translations are included?
