BibleBridge puts a complete, interactive Bible on your own WordPress site: your domain, your name, your readers. Whether you run a church, a ministry, or a Bible blog, visitors read and explore Scripture directly on your site instead of being sent off to an outside app.

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

What makes it different

Most Bible tools feel stitched together from separate parts. BibleBridge is one consistent Bible from start to finish.

One unified Bible experience, not a collection of disconnected tools
Switch translation once and everything follows: reading, search, cross-references, topics
Cross-references built for real study: connections that fit the passage, not just shared words
Everything stays on your domain, under your name. No accounts, no ads, no tracking for your visitors

What’s included

Scripture Atlas: 96 Bible topics connected by shared verses, from core doctrine to everyday Christian life
Cross-references: tap any verse to see related passages
KJV and Berean Standard Bible (BSB), both public domain, on every plan
Five reading plans: Bible in a Year, NT in 90 Days, NT in a Year, Gospel of John, Psalms & Proverbs
Full-text search with book filtering
Verse sharing, highlighting, and notes, with cloud sync across devices using a simple code (no account required)
Dark mode and a mobile layout
Auto-Tagging: enable once and BibleBridge automatically finds scripture references in every post and adds hover tooltips with the verse text and cross-references
Shortcodes to embed Scripture anywhere on your site:
- Verse: [biblebridge_verse ref="John 3:16"]
- Verse of the day: [biblebridge_verse_of_the_day]
- Reading plan: [biblebridge_reading_plan slug="gospel-of-john" start="2026-06-01"] (auto-updates daily)

Built on trust

Every file ships as readable source. No obfuscation, no hidden build steps. You can see exactly what runs on your site.

External Services

This plugin relies on the BibleBridge API to serve Bible text, cross-references, search results, topic data, and reading plans. No Bible data is stored locally – all scripture content is fetched on demand from the API.

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

BibleBridge API (holybible.dev/api) – serves all Bible content including scripture text, search, cross-references, topics, and reading plan data. On plugin activation, the plugin sends your site URL and site name to automatically provision a free API key. During normal use, visitor search queries and page navigation result in API calls that include the API key and requested scripture references. No visitor personal data is collected or transmitted.
BibleBridge Sync (holybible.dev/reader/sync.php) – provides optional cross-device sync for visitor highlights, notes, and reading progress. Sync is initiated by visitors using an anonymous code (no email or account required). No personally identifiable information is collected.

Source Code

Every file ships as readable source – no obfuscation or hidden build steps. You can see exactly what runs on your site.
