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] - Both KJV and Berean Standard Bible (BSB), public domain, no licensing fees, no paywall
- 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
Upgrade to unlock more features
- Offer deeper study: cross-references chosen for how they fit the passage, not just shared words, so visitors can go deeper into Scripture without leaving your site
- Stand out visually: Scripture Atlas’s seven hand-illustrated regions give your site a distinctive way to explore how Bible themes connect – nothing else looks like it
- Bring visitors back: five guided reading plans give people a reason to return to your site day after day
- Integrate Scripture anywhere: drop a chapter, verse, or Scripture Atlas embed into any page or post with a shortcode

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). No personally identifiable information is collected or transmitted.
- BibleBridge Sync (holybible.dev/reader/sync.php) – optional cross-device sync for visitor highlights, notes, and reading progress, using an anonymous code with no account required. No personally identifiable information is collected.
- 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. Includes IP address and browser user-agent; not used to track or profile individual visitors.
