When you visit Prayers → Settings, you’ll see these tabs:

1. General Tab

Controls global behavior of prayers and front-end access.

From the actual code, this includes settings like:

• New Prayer Status

• Prayer View Mode

  • Single Prayer Pages vs. Prayer Wall Page as the primary view.

• Public Access

  • Whether single prayer pages are publicly viewable.

• Detect and store submitter country

  • When enabled, the front-end form calls ipapi.co and stores the submitter’s country, which can be shown on the list.

• Google WebFonts API Key

  • Used for typography settings in Styling (Google Fonts).

2. Notifications Tab

Controls all email triggers and notification behavior. The settings here (from the real options) include:

• Notify Submitter on Submission

  • Sends a confirmation email to the user when they submit their prayer.

3. Shortcodes Tab

This tab is a shortcode builder and reference UI.

Based on the actual markup and JS (ipray-admin-scripts.js), it includes:

• A configurable builder for [ipray_list]:

  • Prayers per page

  • Show/hide pagination

  • Style (divider, border, background, shadow)

  • Layout (list or grid)

  • Grid column count

  • Auto-generated shortcode field

  • “Copy Shortcode” button

• A builder for [ipray_subscribe_form]:

  • Form title

  • Description

  • Button text

  • Generated shortcode + copy button

• A builder for [ipray_form]:

  • Title

  • Description

  • Button text

  • Generated shortcode + copy button

• A builder for [ipray_dashboard]:

  • Dashboard title

  • Description

  • Login button text

  • Option to show delete button

  • Generated shortcode + copy button

• A simple reference to legacy [ipray] (listed at the top as “Legacy shortcode showing all components together”).

4. Email Template Tab

Controls the HTML email template used for all outgoing emails.

Settings include:

• Sender Name (e.g. “Your Church Name”)

• Sender Email (from address)

• Footer Note (appears in email footer)

• Logo (for email header)

  • Uses the media uploader from the admin scripts

  • Preview shown in the settings screen

• Body Background Color

• Title Background Color

• Title Text Color

• Content Background Color

• Content Text Color

• Footer Text Color

These are standard WordPress color pickers, with default colors defined in the plugin.

5. Styling Tab

The Styling tab is more advanced and is powered by ipray_get_styling_fields() + ipray_render_styling_field() and some admin JS. It lets you visually style the front-end components of iPray without writing CSS.

The styling options are grouped by sections, each shown as a “postbox” with a heading and a Reset Section button:

Sections include (according to the actual styling-fields.php):

• General typography (headings & body text)

• Prayers List

• Prayer Form

• Subscription Form

• Button

• Prayers Dashboard

• Comments Modal

• Form (shared form styling)

Each section contains one or more controls, e.g.:

• Typography controls (font size, line-height, font weight, font family, text transform)

• Color pickers for backgrounds, borders, dividers, hover colors, etc.

• Some fields also automatically produce RGB variants used by CSS variables.

At the top of each section:

• There is a “Reset Section” button.

  Clicking this:

  • Shows a confirm dialog

  • Sends an AJAX request (ipray_reset_styling_section)

  • Resets only that section’s styling to its defaults

  • Shows a “Section styling has been reset.” message

  • Then reloads the page to apply defaults

A more detailed breakdown of each styling section and what it affects will be provided later in the Styling Options.
