Notes

  • This plugin uses the webservice of bibleserver.com
  • The links to bibleserver.com are added while saving a post, because the requests to bibleserver.com are limited per day and site. For posts created before activating ‘Link-To-Bible’ and never saved since then, the links to bibleserver.com are added when the post is viewed the first time.
  • Changing an already linked bible reference (e.g. “Gen 1,2” -> “Gen 2,1”), saving the post will automatically update the link to bibleserver.com.
