    Hello everyone,

    I’m excited to announce a significant update for the Verse of the Day Widget for WP, version 7.5.

    The biggest change in this version is a complete refactor of how the widgets work to give you more precise and reliable control over placement. The single widget has been replaced by two distinct, specialized widgets.

    When you update, you will now see two options in your Appearance > Widgets screen:

    • Verse of the Day Header: A full-width widget designed for prominent placement in your site’s header, footer, or within page content.
    • Verse of the Day Sidebar: A compact widget specifically optimized to fit neatly into any sidebar area.

    New Shortcodes

    To accompany the new widgets, there are two new, easy-to-remember shortcodes:

    • For the full-width header widget, use: [votd_header_widget]
    • For the compact sidebar widget, use: [votd_sidebar_widget]

    Backward Compatibility

    Don’t worry, your existing setups are safe! For backward compatibility, the original shortcode [votd_verse_of_the_day_widget_for_wp] will continue to work perfectly. It now serves as an alias for the new header widget.

    Please update to version 7.5 to take advantage of these new features. Your feedback is incredibly valuable, so if you have any questions or run into any issues with this update, please let me know by replying to this topic.

    Best regards,

    Allen Floyd
