Could you post the shortcode you are using here so that I can set up a test page myself? That will enable me to diagnose and fix the problem more effectively.

It appears that either you do not have the cURL library for PHP installed or it is set up incorrectly.

cURL is used by the Embed Bible Passages plugin to retrieve the Bible Readings from the ESV Bible Web Service.

There seem to be some issues with WAMP and cURL. See, e.g., https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10939248/php-curl-not-working-wamp-on-windows-7-64-bit, https://forum.wampserver.com/read.php?2,85716,86069, or one of the other links at https://www.google.com/search?q=wamp+curl+not+working.

Please post what you needed to do to resolve this issue, so that others can also benefit.

I have just added the foregoing explanation to the FAQ.

Thanks for drawing my attention to this need for clarification.

Not so.

The information (in this case a prayer) will be for the day of the client, not the day of the server (which it would be without the plugin).

You can test by changing the time on your computer to be in a time zone which is in a different day. E.g., if you live in New York, change the time zone on your computer to that of Sydney. You should see the information (in the case of the example) for the next day. (Check a site like https://www.timeanddate.com/ to be sure to get a time zone which is in a different day than the one normally set on your computer.)

Since I have heard from another user that the changes in Version 1.2 have fixed this problem for him, I am marking this topic as resolved.

I have changed the method for obtaining client time zone from attempting to retrieve time zone of IP to setting a cookie containing the clients time zone, then reading that cookie and checked the new version (1.1) into the repository.

Making this item closed.

Digging into this further, I believe that what you observe may be due to something in another plugin, or perhaps your theme, which is enclosing the code which displays the word “Listen” in a set of div tags with a class which imposes the style of that class on the contents of that pair of div tags.

I have just checked a new version (1.2) into the WordPress repository.?I am hoping this new version gets around the problem you have experienced.

In version 1.2 Scriptures are loaded by jQuery both initially and by Datepicker (if it is used) to help achieve uniformity in formatting.

My thought is that by loading the Scriptures via jQuery, rather than just embedding them in the post, whatever it is that is enclosing the code which displays the word “Listen” in div tags, causing it to be displayed in such large font, won’t detect the presence of that code and, therefore, won’t add those div tags.

Please let me know whether or not this does the trick.

I’m glad you got it to work.

Sorry to have missed these posts.

The “Listen” link comes from the Crossway Bibles Web Service. At present the plugin uses their default option for audio format, which results in using Flash as the audio player. I believe this is what causes the very long links, as well as the problems with Apple devices.

In a future version I will provide for the user to choose other options for the audio format, with the hope that it may be a way to resolve these problems.

First, my apologies for missing this.

Second, can you tell me more exactly what the error message was? I have the plugin working on a couple of sites which use WordPress 4.0 and have never seen such an error.

I’ll be glad to seek a fix, if I know what the error is.

I couldn’t see what your errors were.

I have, however, just discovered that api.easyjquery.com seems to be no longer in operation. This yields error messages like Warning: file_get_contents(https://api.easyjquery.com/ips/?ip=nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn&full=true): failed to open stream: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known

It appears, therefore, that my plugin will need a replacement for the api.easyjquery.com service. I will try to find and implement a solution for this problem as soon as I can.

I cannot see what could be causing the Use Client’s Time Zone Options to not show up in the Settings menu. You might try going directly there with the link your-site.com/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=use_clients_timezone_plugin.

Does the plugin work at all for you? The settings page only provides the opportunity to enter a fall-back time zone. The default is GMT. So, if the plugin is working at all, it should be yielding the client’s time zone unless it cannot retrieve the time zone of the clients IP number, in which case it should use GMT.

You might try adding

object.audio {
    height: 20px;
}

to the style sheet. I had some success with this. But something about the way this is coming through from the ESV API seems to make it fairly unresponsive to whatever I try in the style sheet.
