• If you run into a problem or have a question, contact me (contact form or @jtsternberg on twitter). I’ll add them here.

• To use YouVersion instead of BibleGateway, you can add this filter:

  add_filter( ‘dsgnwrks_bible_service’, ‘dsgnwrks_use_youversion’ );
  function dsgnwrks_use_youversion() {
  return ‘youversion’;
  }

• To use English Standard Version instead of NIV, you can add this filter:

  apply_filters( ‘dsgnwrks_bible_version’, ‘dsgnwrks_use_version_kjv’ )
  function dsgnwrks_use_version_kjv() {
  return ‘kjv’;
  }
