Logos Reftagger

75 Quality Score

Active Installs

18/30

With 10,000 active installs it has a clear user base, but the score is held back by its narrow niche appeal relative to mainstream utility plugins.

Update Freshness

21/25

Last updated December 2025 against WordPress 6.9.4, so the codebase is clearly being kept current despite the small install count.

User Rating

14/15

A 96 out of 100 from 15 ratings is a strong endorsement from a small sample of users who almost universally liked the result.

Support Health

8/15

Zero support threads opened and zero resolved is technically a perfect track record, but it also signals that the plugin has never been stressed by real troubleshooting volume.

WP Compatibility

15/15

Tested up to WordPress 6.9.4 and requiring only PHP 7.0 plus WordPress 2.3, giving it one of the broadest compatibility ranges we have seen.

What It Does

Logos Reftagger scans your published content for Bible references (such as 'John 3:16' or 'Romans 8:28') and automatically converts them into clickable hyperlinks that point to the verse text on Biblia.com. When a visitor hovers over a reference, a tooltip pops up displaying the actual scripture text without requiring the reader to leave your page. The plugin runs client-side via the Reftagger script, so it works across posts, pages, and custom post types with minimal configuration.

Who It's For

This plugin is best suited for churches, Christian blogs, Bible study sites, seminaries, and faith-based ministries that publish sermons, devotionals, or commentary loaded with scripture references. It is especially valuable for site owners who want readers to verify passages quickly without leaving the page, since the hover tooltip delivers the verse text inline. If your audience expects every scripture citation to be a live link with the passage one hover away, Reftagger delivers that experience with almost no effort.

Who Should Skip It

Skip this if your site rarely cites scripture or if you want to link verses to a Bible translation or commentary source other than Biblia.com, since there is no option to redirect references elsewhere. It is also a poor fit for secular publications, general news outlets, or any site where automated inline scripture tooltips would feel intrusive or out of place.

The Bottom Line

Logos Reftagger is a focused, lightweight tool that does one job, turning Bible references into live links with hover tooltips, and it does that job well for its target audience. The overall quality score of 78.71 reflects solid maintenance and compatibility tempered by a niche audience and an untested support channel. For Christian publishers who link heavily to scripture, it is a strong pick; for everyone else, it is irrelevant.
