FAQ
-
For whom we created bVerse Convert?
-
For everyone! If you have a WordPress site which has Bible references in its content, bVerse Convert is a good option.
-
Is bVerse Convert really useful?
-
Just imagine having to write 10 Bible references into a WordPress post and then going back and forth linking them to where you want people to read the references. That’s something pretty exhausting, actually, is something painful. Why not just write the references and have the certainty that when you submit your post all those references will be automatically converted into links to your desired service and Bible Version?
This is basically the best practice and should save you a lot of work and time. That’s exactly what bVerse Convert does for you and your site. -
Which are the Bible Services that bVerse uses?

- Biblia.com
- Bibles.org

- Minor changes. Removed older versions (tags). We will now be working from v1.3.x. We also updated the plugin Readme so it reflects is compatible with WordPress 3.8.
1.3.3.6

trunkas stable tag. This was something missing or wrongly used in previous versions and, in someway, it made the plugin localization a little bit confusing since now bVerse uses WordPress language packs.

- Plugin description on the
readmefile was updated according to latest updates.

1.3.2
- Fixed available translatable strings and language files.
1.3.1
- Fixed a jQuery bug which wasn’t enqueueing the library correctly. Details on 1.3.1

Usage:[bversebibles title="Genesis 1:3"]v.3[/bversebibles] - Fixed the Option for showing Credits while Bibles.org was selected. Previously they weren’t showing.
- Fixed some CSS issues for the Credits Option.
1.3
- Now you can select Bilbles.org as your main Scriptures Reference service. Just like BibleGateway.com and Biblia.com, it will allow you to open references in a New Window and display a Popover with references inside. Details on 1.3
- Bibles.org “Popover Option” is a little different, it’s actually called “Fancybox” and also known as “Lightbox”. This opens references in a modal popup window letting your visitors read references in context and giving them the opportunity to jump back to what they were reading right away.
