BibleGateway Links Shortcode

Shortcode for linking Bible references to a BibleGateway page. Links open in a small popup window. Adds a convenient editor button for inserting the shortcode.
New in 0.1.3: Settings page to set Bible version and Bible search service. Both can be overridden via filters.

1. Upload the biblegateway-search-shortcode directory to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
3. Add the shortcode to a WordPress entry: [biblegateway passage="John 3:16" display="For God so loved the world..."] or use the convenient editor buttons.

• To use YouVersion instead of BibleGateway, you can add this filter:

  add_filter( ‘dsgnwrks_bible_service’, ‘dsgnwrks_use_youversion’ );
  function dsgnwrks_use_youversion() {
  return ‘youversion’;
  }

• To use English Standard Version instead of NIV, you can add this filter:

  apply_filters( ‘dsgnwrks_bible_version’, ‘dsgnwrks_use_version_kjv’ )
  function dsgnwrks_use_version_kjv() {
  return ‘kjv’;
  }
