Design settings and preview

Choose a source and layout, check the preview and save the settings.

Preview and typography

At 100%, the default sizes are balanced: headings 28 px, verses 22 px, references 18 px, dates 16 px and additional information 14 px. The overall scale adjusts them together. Expert mode lets you override individual sizes, for example with 1.75rem or var(--text-xxl, 28px).

CSS variables must exist on your website and resolve to a valid font size. The isolated admin preview does not load variables from Bricks or other frameworks, so it uses the fallback. Relative units alone do not create viewport breakpoints; a responsive CSS variable can provide that behavior. The preview offers several widths and a strict theme-spacing simulation. Also check the published page in your actual theme.

Shortcodes

Daily verses with saved defaults:

[daily_scripture]

Compact Losungen display:

[daily_scripture source="herrnhuter" layout="minimal" density="compact"]

A selected passage from a previously installed edition:

[daily_scripture_passage translation="luther-1912" book="JOH" chapter="3" from="16" to="17" title="A word for today"]

Daily verses support source (herrnhuter, bible2, both, aolab). Selected passages support translation, book, chapter, from, to and title. Without to, only the first verse is shown. Select up to 50 verses within one chapter. With no custom title, the passage reference becomes the heading.

Both shortcodes support layout, density (standard, compact) and theme (light, dark, auto, custom). Omit display options to inherit site settings. All layout values, book codes and additional copyable examples are listed on the plugin’s Shortcodes page.

GitHub plugin updates

Updates come directly from the DECKERWEB repository on GitHub and appear in the regular WordPress plugin update system while Daily Scripture is active. Update through Plugins or Dashboard → Updates as usual; no additional updater plugin is needed. Automatic updates remain your choice.

The English guide, German guide and themed FAQs explain settings, sources and common problems. A local copy is included in the plugin. The admin footer links to the documentation and opens the changelog in a dialog. Cached update checks can delay a new offer by up to 30 minutes; a manual ZIP update is also available.

Backups and uninstallation

JSON exports contain saved values. A design includes appearance and date format; a full export adds source selection and other site options. Texts, annual packages, personal dashboard preferences and builder styles are excluded. Imports are staged in the form and take effect only when settings are saved.

Deactivation preserves texts and settings. Uninstallation clears temporary caches and scheduled checks. Settings, personal widget preferences, annual data and Bible editions are kept by default. If the removal option is enabled, settings, preferences and known text files for the site are removed; unknown files and protection files remain. Include texts in your regular website file backups when needed.

Modern WordPress color controls open in a modal; changes take effect only after saving.
