API.Bible Key Issues

    The Bible reading Plans plugin will not accept the API.Bible access key I retrieved from the api.bible website. I get an error that the key must be 32 characters long, and the key I was issued is 21 characters long. I contacted API.Bible and was informed that the keys are now 21 characters in length, older keys are 32 characters. The email I got from them states, “The older one is no longer available for creating new accounts. That means you would need to make a request with the plugin developer to update the plugin to handle both API key lengths for the best compatibility.”

    Please advise.

    Thanks for all you do!

    Thanks for the quick response! The 21-character key is accepted now, and the reading plan shows up on the page. But the reading passages are not embedded in the page. I’ve checked the syntax for the ABS entry to be correct: [bible-reading-plan source=”ABS” reading_plan=”back-to-the-bible-chronological” version=”KJV-P”] Looking into what else could be. (WordPress v6.9; PHP v8.2.18)

    Thanks again for the quick response.

    That code works on my system, using my, older, abs api key. I wonder if it’s a new/old key thing. Can you check the logs?

    What does it say on the screen when the passages don’t load?

    I have got a new key. Looks like they’ve changed the API endpoint too. Working on it.

    I saw your post above after I posted this. Thanks for your prompt attention!

    I see BibleReadingPlans entries in the debug.log file, should I post it all here? :/

    Quite a few more entries, appear to be similar.

    I obtained a new key, and found there’s a new api endpoint to go with it. I’m uploading a 3.0.11 shortly.

    Allrighty, that works! Thanks again, your quick responses are most appreciated. I’m waiting to hear back from Bible Brain (DBP) API for a key to try that option.

    Thanks for all you do.
