BibleAsk

BibleAsk – Verse Tooltip transforms plain Bible references in your content (e.g. “Genesis 1:1”, “Colossians 3:3”, “Psalm 23”) into clickable links that point to the corresponding passage on BibleAsk.org. References in parentheses like (Colossians 3:3) are also supported.

<h3>External services</h3>
This plugin relies on BibleAsk.org (operated by BibleAsk), an external website that hosts Bible reading pages and related content.
What it is used for
<ul>
<li>Links: Detected Bible references in your content become links to the matching passage pages on BibleAsk.org (HTTPS). When a visitor follows a link, their browser requests that page from BibleAsk.org like any normal website visit.</li>
<li>Optional verse text in the tooltip: If you enable “Show verse text in tooltip,” your WordPress site requests the same passage URL from BibleAsk.org over HTTPS (server-side, using WordPress <code>wp_remote_get</code>). The response HTML is parsed to extract verse text for display in the tooltip. That request is only made when a visitor triggers the tooltip flow and the verse is not already cached. The URL contains only the passage location (book/chapter/verse path). This plugin does not send your users’ names, email addresses, WordPress account details, or other personal data to BibleAsk.org as part of that request.</li>
<li>Branding: The settings screen and optional tooltip can display BibleAsk logos supplied as image files inside this plugin (they are not loaded from BibleAsk.org’s servers by default).</li>
