About this plugin
TBS Scripture Tagger scans your website content and transforms plain-text Bible references (like “John 3:16” or “Genesis 1:1”) into interactive links.
When users hover or tap on a reference, a clean tooltip appears with the verse text retrieved directly from The Bible Says API.
This plugin is inspired by tools like Blue Letter Bible’s ScriptTagger, but fully optimized for modern browsers and multilingual usage (English, Portuguese, and Chinese).
External Services
This plugin can connect to The Bible Says API to fetch verse previews. You must explicitly enable this in Settings → TBS Scripture Tagger before any external requests are made.
