Gutenberg Blocks

Gutenberg Blocks

Intercessor provides three Gutenberg blocks. All three are found in the block inserter under the Intercessor category.

Prayer Form

Block name: intercessor/prayer-form

The public submission form for prayer requests. Visitors fill in their name, email, and prayer request text, then submit. Depending on your settings, the form may also show:

• A terms and conditions checkbox and link
• A privacy policy checkbox and link
• Account registration fields (username/password) for new users
• A Google reCAPTCHA challenge

Block settings (sidebar):

• Requests per page (inherits global default)

How it works: On submission, the request enters the moderation queue (status: pending) unless auto-approve is enabled. The requester receives a confirmation email if notifications are turned on. If registration is enabled, a new WordPress user account is created and a confirmation email is sent.

Prayer Wall

Block name: intercessor/prayer-wall

Displays approved prayer requests in a paginated wall. Each request card shows the prayer text and (optionally) the requester's name and submission date. Logged-in users see an "I prayed for this" button that increments a live counter via AJAX.

Block settings (sidebar):

• Requests per page
• Show submission date
• Show requester name

CSS classes:

• .intercessor-prayer-wall — outer container
• .wp-block-intercessor-prayer-wall — WordPress block wrapper
• .intercessor-pray-btn — the "I prayed" button
• .intercessor-pray-count — the prayer counter display

Prayer History

Block name: intercessor/prayer-history

A logged-in user's personal dashboard showing all prayer requests they've submitted. Users can:

• See the status of each request (pending, approved, rejected)
• Edit pending requests (content is re-submitted for moderation)
• Delete their own requests

Guests see a login/registration prompt instead.

How it works: Uses AJAX calls to the Intercessor REST API (/wp-json/intercessor/v1/) for inline editing and deletion without page reloads.
