Install Guide
BibleBridge is a WordPress plugin. Install it from your WP admin in under a minute — no configuration, no API key setup, no account required.
Is it safe to install?
Yes. BibleBridge is reviewed by the WordPress.org plugin team and listed in the official directory. It installs as a standard plugin through your admin — isolated from your other files like any other plugin.
- Full plugin source ships in every install — human-readable PHP, CSS, and JS, no obfuscation
- No database tables created, no config files modified outside the plugin's own scope
- Clean uninstall: Plugins → Deactivate, then Delete. Nothing left behind.
Install on WordPress
Install directly from your WordPress admin. No download, no file upload, no config file to edit.
- In WordPress admin, go to Plugins → Add New
- Search for BibleBridge
- Click Install Now, then Activate
Your Bible is live at yoursite.com/bible. A free API key (250 requests/day) is provisioned automatically on activation — no manual setup.
To set your reader name and customize the URL, go to Settings → BibleBridge in your WP admin.
Common issues
Bible page shows a 404
Likely: WordPress rewrite rules need to be flushed after activation.
Fix: Go to Settings → Permalinks in your WP admin and click Save Changes. This flushes the rewrite rules and the Bible page will appear.
Reader shows "This Bible is popular right now"
Likely: You've hit the free tier's 250 requests/day cap.
Fix: The reader resets at midnight UTC. If this happens regularly, claim your site from Settings → BibleBridge and upgrade on the pricing page.
Styles look broken or conflict with my theme
Likely: An aggressive theme is injecting global CSS into the reader.
Fix: BibleBridge includes hardening against most theme conflicts. If you see issues, try switching to a default WordPress theme temporarily to confirm the source, then contact support with a screenshot.
Uninstalling
Go to Plugins → Deactivate, then Delete. Removes the plugin cleanly — no database tables, no leftover files.
