Truth

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

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 83% 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’ve been using this plugin a long time, and it generally works well. But it still has issues with being applied too broadly, as mikedev noted 10 years ago. The plugin incorrectly attempts to make a hyperlink when it finds the (extremely common) verb is followed by any number. This happened to me in phrases like these: ... water is 1,000,000× more valuable ... This video is 30 minutes of fun ... When I came across these broken hyperlinks, it took a while to figure out where they were coming from. Obviously the plugin is interpreting is as Isaiah.

   Unlike bVverse which really hits performance. But can’t give it five stars because multiple references fail. In (Gen. 6:11-13, 19-20; 7:21-23) only Gen. 6:11-13 works. This topic was modified 7 years, 11 months ago by alpersso1. This topic was modified 7 years, 11 months ago by alpersso1.

   I updated from 1.7 to 2.0 tonight and there was a conflict that crashed my site. I have not determined as of yet which other plugin if any in combination with 2.0 that created this result. In the meantime I down graded back to version 1.7 till I can figure out the cause. This is a wonderful plugin and very much appreciated. The ability to curtail each verse reference in the NASB version our church uses is a big plus. Thank you

   Greetings, I’ve used this plugin in the past and it has always worked great. However, it does not work with WP 4.4.2. Suggestions?

   Just what our church website needed! For consecration this year we put our daily reading list of bible verses on our website. With this plugin our members can easily view and read their bible verses each day. Our members are very pleased! Thank you to the developers for helping us connect with the bible.com so easily. Thank you for blessing is with this plugin!

   I use Truth along with SermonBrowser Vs. 0.45.12 as seen here – http://churchofourlord.org/?page_id=7998&sermon_id=130 It just does exactly what it says it will which for me is AWESOME!

   The Truth plugin is almost perfect. 1) It would be better if the verse link opened in the same browser window, or if there were an option for same window or new. 2) Auto generation of bible links is a great and necessary feature, but it might be getting applied too broadly. It catches things such as some address zip codes and converts them to links. Here’s an example: Grand Rapids, MI 49546 Because there is no Micah 49546, YouVersion shows an error page. My workaround is to manually put an extra space between MI and 49546. Thanks for a great plugin! (I updated my rating from 4 stars to 5 stars after the plugin author addressed both issues.)
