Bible Reading Plans free WordPress plugin
Description
Bible Reading Plans free WordPress plugin
This plugin provides the ability to embed Bible reading plans into a post or page using shortcode of the form [bible-reading-plan reading_plan=”mcheyne” source=”DBP” version=”ESV”]. Three sources for the Scriptures displayed for each plan are available: American Bible Society API, Version 1 (API.Bible), The Digital Bible Platform API, Version 2 (digitalbibleplatform.com), and the ESV Bible Web Service API, Version 3 (api.esv.org). See the screenshots for an example of how to use this plugin.
This plugin is a fork of the Embed Bible Passages plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/embed-bible-passages/) made necessary by changes in the ESV Bible Web Service API. (Version 2 included Bible reading plans, but is deprecated. Version 3 is the only version available to new users, but does not include Bible reading plans.) Since the American Bible Society API provides more than 20 English language versions (with the potential for more via the Digital Bible Library to acquire the necessary licenses) and over 1600 languages and the Digital Bible Platform API provides two versions for English and for more than 1000 languages, however, we hope this fork promises a much broader future than did the Embed Bible Passages plugin. The ESV Bible Web Service API, Version 3, however, has also been included in this plugin because it provides audio directly with the texts as well as better formatting control, even though it naturally provides only the English Standard Version.
For the initial releases only the English language is available.
The values of reading_plan can, at present, be:
mcheyne – M’Cheyne One-Year Reading Plan daily-light-on-the-daily-path-morning – Daily Light on the Daily Path — Morning daily-light-on-the-daily-path-evening – Daily Light on the Daily Path — Evening
The default reading plan is M’Cheyne One-Year Reading Plan.
We hope to add other plans going forward and have also created a premium plugin “Create Bible Reading Plans” (http://sllwi.re/p/1Il) to make it possible to create one’s own Bible reading plan for use in this plugin.
The values of source can, at present, be:
ABS – American Bible Society (API.Bible) DBP – Digital Bible Platform (digitalbibleplatform.com) ESV – ESV Bible Web Service API (api.esv.org)
The default source is DBP.
(Note that, in order to use these sources, you must obtain Access Keys from the American Bible Society, the Digital Bible Platform, and/or the ESV Bible Web Service API. Instructions for doing so are on the Settings page for the plugin.)
