Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

This plugin puts a daily Bible verse on your WordPress site. Every visitor sees the same verse of the day, and it changes at midnight. You can switch it to a random Bible verse on each visit instead.

Visitors can tap for another verse, open the whole chapter, or share the verse.

The verse widget comes in six styles:

  • Window puts the verse on a photo.
  • Quiet is plain text between two thin lines, made for articles and sermon notes.
  • Today is a small card for a sidebar.
  • Calendar shows the scripture next to today’s date.
  • Poster sets the verse in large type on a block of colour.
  • Floating adds a “Verse for today” button to the bottom corner of the page, which opens the verse in a small card.

You can pick a light, dark or automatic theme, one of four accent colours or your own hex colour, round, soft or square corners, and a sans, serif or your theme’s own font. Bible translations: King James Version (KJV), World English Bible (WEB) and American Standard Version (ASV).

The widget draws itself inside a Shadow DOM. Your theme’s CSS can’t break it, and it doesn’t restyle anything on your page.

Block

Add the Bible Verse block and choose a style in the sidebar. The editor shows a live preview as you change settings.

Shortcode

For the classic editor, page builders and sidebar text widgets:

[random_bible_verse]

[random_bible_verse style="poster" accent="clay" theme="dark"]

  • When: each time a page with the block or shortcode is viewed. The browser may cache the file.
