Is my visitors’ data private?

Yes. We don’t collect personally identifiable information from visitors. No accounts, no tracking. One cookie remembers your visitor’s translation choice – nothing else. Cloud sync uses an anonymous code – no email or password required. See the full Privacy Policy .

Does this work out of the box?

Yes. The plugin works immediately with no setup required. A free API key is automatically provisioned for your site on activation. No account is required to get started. To review your account status or upgrade to a paid plan, go to Settings → BibleBridge and claim your account.

Who is this for?

Christian businesses, ministries, and churches that want Scripture to feel native to their own website – not embedded from external tools or sent to other apps. If all you need is a menu link out to an external Bible site, this plugin is more than you need.

Is the free plan available for a commercial website?

Only as a 7-day evaluation from first activation. After that, a paid plan is required regardless of traffic – see “Free tier” above and the Terms of Service for the full policy.

What translations are included?

King James Version (KJV) and Berean Standard Bible (BSB), both public domain. We don’t currently offer NIV, ESV, or other modern translations since they require paid publisher licensing, and we’d rather keep every plan free of licensing fees than gate certain versions behind them.

Does it slow down my site?

No. Both translations are bundled with the plugin, so chapter reading never leaves your server. Only search and a few other features call the API on demand.

Can visitors sync across devices?

Yes. Cloud sync uses a simple code (like “GRACE-4821”) – no email or password needed. Highlights, reading progress, and plan completion sync automatically.

Can I customize the URL?

Yes. By default the reader lives at /bible but you can change this in Settings → BibleBridge.

Does it work with my theme?

The reader uses its own full-page template and includes safeguards to prevent most styling conflicts. It’s actively tested against real installations of popular free WordPress themes and page builders, and works without issue in the large majority of cases.

Some themes or plugins apply aggressive global styles – such as button or link hover effects – that can occasionally show up in the reader. If you notice anything unexpected, try switching themes to confirm the source, or contact support with a screenshot.

Does BibleBridge affect my site’s SEO?

No. BibleBridge doesn’t alter your site’s existing pages or their SEO metadata; it only adds new routes for the Bible reader. Chapter reading is served locally and unaffected by daily capacity limits.
