FAQ

What version of Seriously Simple Podcasting does this plugin require?

In order to use this plugin you need to have at least v1.15 of Seriously Simple Podcasting. If you do not have Seriously Simple Podcasting active or you are using a version older than v1.15 then this plugin will do nothing.

What site is linked to for the actual Bible passage?

The Bible readings link to biblegateway.com and are displayed on that site using the version selected in ther settings. You can use the ssp_bible_readings_url filter to modify the URL for the link if you would like it to point it to a different site. See some example code here.

How do I change the Bible version in use?

You will find a new setting at the bottom of the „Podcast > Settings“ page where you can select which Bible version is used – it defaults to the New International Version (NIV). You can filter this to use any version that biblegateway.com offers using the ssp_bible_readings_version filter. This filter includes the episode ID as an additional parameter, so you can use it to specify a different version for specific episodes. See some example code here.

Can I include multiple readings in one episode?

Yes, you can! Just separate each passage with a comma (,). The following formats (and their combinations/variations) will all work:

• Proverbs 16
• Proverbs 16:1-9
• Proverbs 16:1-9, 12-14
• Proverbs 16:1-9, Acts 17:22-31
• Proverbs 16:1-9, Acts 17:22-31, Mark 1:1-5
• Proverbs 16-17
• Proverbs 16:12-17:5

You can string any amount of passages together like that and they will all display on the same page when opened, in the order that you added them.

Why does the media player in the screenshot look different to the normal WP media player?

It is the same media player that is built into WordPress itself, but I have styled it using the Media Player Style Kit plugin.
