ESV Plugin

The WordPress ESV Plugin can automatically scan posts, looking for Scripture references. References can be turned into links to the text on the ESV website, can have the Scripture passage automatically included on your site, using the Tippy plugin references can be turned into tooltips containing the Scripture text, or references can be ignored. The plugin is highly configurable, allowing the user to have control over several actions. The user is also able to style the appearance of included Scripture passages by editing the css file that comes with the plugin.

Upload the esv directory to your /wp-content/plugins/ directory Activate the plugin through your dashboard Visit the ESV Options page under the Settings section of your dashboard. This will set up all of the initial settings.

3.9.0

• ESV Plugin is now wrapped in a class
• Switched from preg_replace to preg_replace_callback
• Plugin now recognizes 'verse' and 'chapter' - ie: 'verse 9'. Only works if a previous text was recognized. If a post says, "John 3 describes Jesus' conversation with Nicodemus. In verse 16 we find one of the best-known passages of the Bible." verse 16 will be correctly linked to John 3:16.
