Bible Verse of the Day

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 70% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   I like that everything is wrapped with classes so I can target with CSS and modify the look of the widget to match my website. Easy to choose a translation. Great plugin for getting the word of God out there!

   Most of the reviews on this plugin are several years old, so I’m adding my review to show that the Bible Verse of the Day plugin is still viable – and works great. After searching endlessly on google for a daily verse widget with code that actually functions, I came upon this one. It’s so easy to install from the WP plugin library. By using the ‘inspect’ tool on my browser, I was able to customize it with CSS to match my site. I love how it looks, and the verse changes each time the page is refreshed. Thank you to the plugin creator for keeping it updated as well!

   I had been looking for a WordPress Plugin for some time that would allow me to add the Bible Verse of the day to the website, it was nice to work with you on the Italian translation of your plugin. Thank you!

   This plugin works perfectly and exactly as described. It also doesn’t try to load any insecure links or data, thus maintaining an https secure web page if your site uses encrypted protocols. Other plugins I found try to load information from insecure sources and thus create a mixed-content situation, which is not good for SSL. Thanks for this!

   Would be great when clicking to the bottom verse link to point to the chosen translation and not the NIV by default.

   Exactly what my client wanted. A bible quote in the sidebar that updates daily by itself.
