BibleBridge integrates a complete, interactive Bible into your WordPress site as a meaningful witness to every visitor. Your domain, your name, your readers. Built for Christian businesses, ministries, churches, and Bible bloggers.

No YouVersion links. No BibleGateway iframes. Just Scripture, fully on your site.

How BibleBridge works

This plugin works together with the BibleBridge server. Auto-Tagging, search, topics, cloud sync, and other API-backed features run on BibleBridge’s own servers, which we build, host, and maintain.

What makes it different

BibleBridge is one consistent Bible, not separate tools bolted together. Everything stays on your domain, under your name and logo – no visitor accounts, no ads, no tracking. Switch translations once and reading and search both follow: nothing to reconfigure.

Free, on every plan

Unlimited Bible reading: both translations, every chapter, no daily cap
Auto-Tagging: enable once and BibleBridge automatically finds scripture references in every post, adding hover tooltips with the verse text
Shortcodes: embed a search box or the Verse of the Day anywhere on your site – for example: [biblebridge_search] or [biblebridge_verse_of_the_day]
Includes the Berean Standard Bible (BSB) and King James Version (KJV). See Bible Text Sources below for attribution and licensing information.
Full-text search with book filtering
Highlights, notes, and verse sharing, with cloud sync across devices using a simple code – no account required
Dark mode and a mobile layout

External Services

Every file ships as readable source – no obfuscation, no hidden build steps.

The plugin connects to the following services hosted at holybible.dev:

BibleBridge API (holybible.dev/api) – serves search, cross-references, topics, reading plan data, Scripture Atlas, and Auto-Tagging. On activation, the plugin sends your site URL and name to provision a free API key; normal use sends API calls with that key and either the requested reference or, for Auto-Tagging, the text of the post being scanned (cached for 7 days so the same content isn’t sent twice). For search, it also sends a temporary code made from the visitor’s IP address and the date, used only to rate-limit each visitor separately. It changes daily and is kept in memory for about 10 seconds.
BibleBridge Sync (holybible.dev/reader/sync.php) – optional cross-device sync for visitor highlights, notes, and reading progress, using a random code with no account required. The code and the synced data are stored on BibleBridge’s servers; the visitor’s IP address is not stored with them.
BibleBridge Verification Ping (holybible.dev/api/verify-beacon) – on page load, the visitor’s browser sends a small signed confirmation directly to BibleBridge, bypassing your WordPress installation, to verify automated-traffic detection is working. It includes the IP address, browser user-agent, the page being viewed (for example, a chapter), a random per-visit code, and the result of a bundled open-source bot check (BotD) that looks for browser automation. Logged for about a week for security monitoring, not advertising or cross-site tracking.
