My latest wordpress plugin is a plugin that automatically creates links to bible gateway from reference in wordpress posts. You can get it here:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-bible-gateway/
Its not perfect yet as its a modification of wp-bible, but because it uses bible gateway it has premium translations like NIV, NLT, The Message, and many more! By default it will reference which ever translation the user last looked up using in biblegateway, but this can also be specified in the options. It should handle references at least like John 3:15-16 and some others and I’m hoping to refine it further as it goes on.
Version History
1.0.4
Fix so that all links now include version, not just some
Added option to open links in a new window
1.0.2
Bible version to link to can now be specified in the options
1.0.1
Fix for bible references like John 3 verses 15 to 16
1.0.0
Initial Version

Works great, thank you
Thanks for this! Specifying the translation would be very helpful.
Added!
So, it’s linking some weird references.

It’s linking the end of dates and only part of Romans. (It wants to search “mans”)
Hi Justin. I checked out your page. The “h” on the end of the march reference is fixed in the latest version.
The “mans” reference is actually because you have “roman” and not “romans”. Its actually linking to “man” which is short for “Manasses” part of the apocryphal which is used by the Catholic church. I wouldn’t have thought to add it but I copied a load of code from: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-bible/
Thank you very much for looking at that, James! I didn’t notice that we had Roman instead of Romans; thanks for pointing that out.
Just found this plugin and installed it on an Anglican Church wev site I’m developing. I have one question. Is it possible and what would I need to change to force the gateway results to open in a new window?
Thank you
Done - 1.0.4
We would like to provide this plugin for getting bible verses in Indian languages.Can you help me to customise it. You can email me.
Thanks for your help.
God bless

It’s Justin again. This time it’s trying to link the end of the word “August. So “August 27, 2009″ links “st 27,2009″

HI James,
Really am happy to have found this plug-in — I’ve noticed that it doesn’t pick-up all of the translations like ESV or the NKJV….version. Examples are on this page http://www.faithandattributesofgod.org/2009/10/king-david/
I am new to Wordpress so any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Also, is there a way to have the link open up in a new tab or window instead of re-directing to Biblegateway?
Thank you,
David B.
Hi,
Currently in the wp-admin interface you can set a single translation and set it to open in a new window.
You can’t set a different translation for each link, but that’s a good idea, I will think about adding it in the future.
Thanks,
James
love the plugin! thank you. Is there a way that I can modify the code so that it when the bible verse is clicked, it opens in a new window? right now it opens in the same window taking the user away from our site. Also would be awesome if it opened in a “lightbox” style popup. The latter is of lesser importance. Again, thank you and love the plugin.
Check the settings. It should be in there that it allows you to.
Any plans to update the addon - or at least make the necessary changes so that WP lists it as compatible with the latest version?
Great plug-in. Thanks for your work.
I am having trouble linking to sites with a reference in the title. It wants to link to the verse rather than the page. Any ideas?
