Features
This plugin lets you create one or multiple types of points which you can use to reward your users when certain events occur on your site. It also includes a Ranks component, which lets you create ranks for your users based on how many points they have.
You can currently award points to users for:
- Registration
- Posts – You can be selective in which post types get awarded points, and award different amounts for different types. Points will automatically be removed when a post is removed.
- Comments – You can award points to a user when they leave a comment, and also to post authors when they receive a comment. As with posts, you can award different amounts for comments on different post types, and points will automatically be removed if you delete a user’s comment or mark it as spam.
- Visiting your site – You can award points to a user when they visit your site at least once in a time period; once per day, for example.
You can also conditionally award points based on a post’s tags, a comment’s text, a user’s role, and more!
All points transactions are logged and can be reviewed by administrators from the WordPoints » Points Logs admin screen. The logs can be displayed on the front end of your site using the [wordpoints_points_logs] shortcode.
You can show how many points a user has using the [wordpoints_points] shortcode. You can also display a list of the top users with the most points using the [wordpoints_points_top] shortcode.
You can display a list of ways that your users can earn points using the [wordpoints_how_to_get_points] shortcode.
The plugin also provides several widgets you can use for the same things as the shortcodes.
More features are always being planned, and you can check out the roadmap on the plugin website, WordPoints.org.
Also on the plugin’s website, you can browse the available extensions. There’s an extension that imports from CubePoints to WordPoints, one that integrates with WooCommerce, one that integrates with BuddyPress, and another that let’s you reset your users’ points. More are being added regularly, so take a look to see what is new.
