WordPress ESV Plugin, Tippy Plugin and WordPress 2.5
May 19, 2008 – 7:48 amI had previously mentioned on the ESV Plugin page that the plugins only partly worked with WordPress 2.5. Since then I have tried it out some more and have not had any trouble with the plugin itself.
There is the possibility of quirky behavior if you use the visual editor, the esvbible tag, and you have the esv plugin process your posts when you save them. Even then the problem only shows up when you edit posts you had previously saved. The visual editor likes to reformat links so it might interfere with links generated for inline or block passages. This problem is not new with 2.5, it has always been present.

Greetings, and thank you for creating this plug in. I can also confirm that the Visual Editor plays havoc with this plugin, as well as MANY other things.
As an aside, to deactivate the Visual Editor, go to USERS> YOUR PROFILE, and UNcheck the box next to “Use the visual editor when writing”. My site was messed up for the longest time because of that, and it took a long time to find that little secret.
Thank you again!

Agreed. The visual editor can be nice, but I find it tends to cause more trouble than it’s worth, and not just with my plugin. I usually just keep it turned off.

And, what I REALLY like about your plugin is that it can show more than one single line. I wanted to use the first 5 from Genesis, and put in Genesis 1:1-1:5, and it worked! Amazing.

You can format the reference a number of different ways, but as shorthand it will also recognize Genesis 1:1-5

Sorry to be so dumb (newbie!), but what exactly do I have to do with your example:
i.e. How do I implement it within a static page or post? (I have installed the plugin, but don’t know how to call it within a page.)
Thank you for your help.

Peter,
Once you install the plugin and visit its option page (you have to do that for it to initialize default options) you use the plugin by inserting the [tippy] tag anywhere within your post. See the main Tippy page for an example.
