Prayer Wall

The Prayer Wall block displays approved, public prayer requests and provides a community-facing place for people to pray for submitted requests.

Add the block

In the WordPress block editor:

1. Open the page where the Prayer Wall should appear.
2. Add the Prayer Wall block.
3. Configure its display options.
4. Publish or update the page.

Block options

The block supports:

Option	Default	Purpose
Requests per page	10	Number of requests displayed per page
Show date	Enabled	Displays the submission date
Show author	Enabled	Displays the requester name when applicable
Status	approved	Controls the status queried by the block

Public visitors are prevented from using the block to expose private requests. The implementation forces public callers back to Approved when the Private status is requested.

Pagination

The Prayer Wall uses the ipage query parameter for pagination. This avoids collision with WordPress's normal paged parameter.

I prayed for this

The Prayer Wall integrates with Intercessor's prayed-count tracking. Logged-in and anonymous visitors can contribute to the prayer count. Repeated interactions are tracked according to the plugin's interaction rules rather than simply creating unlimited duplicate rows.

TIP

Keep the Prayer Wall focused on Approved requests. This is also the plugin's default behavior and provides the safest public-facing configuration.
