External services
This plugin relies on BibleAsk.org (operated by BibleAsk), an external website that hosts Bible reading pages and related content.
What it is used for
- Links: Detected Bible references in your content become links to the matching passage pages on BibleAsk.org (HTTPS). When a visitor follows a link, their browser requests that page from BibleAsk.org like any normal website visit.
- Optional verse text in the tooltip: If you enable “Show verse text in tooltip,” your WordPress site requests the same passage URL from BibleAsk.org over HTTPS (server-side, using WordPress
wp_remote_get). The response HTML is parsed to extract verse text for display in the tooltip. That request is only made when a visitor triggers the tooltip flow and the verse is not already cached. The URL contains only the passage location (book/chapter/verse path). This plugin does not send your users’ names, email addresses, WordPress account details, or other personal data to BibleAsk.org as part of that request. - Branding: The settings screen and optional tooltip can display BibleAsk logos supplied as image files inside this plugin (they are not loaded from BibleAsk.org’s servers by default).
