Title: WordPoints Author: J.D. Grimes Published: Setembre 14, 2013 Last modified: Maig 8, 2018 --- Search plugins ![](https://ps.w.org/wordpoints/assets/banner-772x250.png?rev=1549773) This plugin **hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress**. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress. ![](https://ps.w.org/wordpoints/assets/icon.svg?rev=1662380) # WordPoints By [J.D. Grimes](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jdgrimes/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/wordpoints.2.4.2.zip) * [Details](https://bal.wordpress.org/plugins/wordpoints/#description) * [Reviews](https://bal.wordpress.org/plugins/wordpoints/#reviews) * [Installation](https://bal.wordpress.org/plugins/wordpoints/#installation) * [Development](https://bal.wordpress.org/plugins/wordpoints/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wordpoints/) ## Description #### 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]`](https://wordpoints.org/user-guide/shortcodes/wordpoints_points_logs/) shortcode. You can show how many points a user has using the [`[wordpoints_points]`](https://wordpoints.org/user-guide/shortcodes/wordpoints_points/) shortcode. You can also display a list of the top users with the most points using the [`[wordpoints_points_top]`](https://wordpoints.org/user-guide/shortcodes/wordpoints_points_top/) shortcode. You can display a list of ways that your users can earn points using the [`[wordpoints_how_to_get_points]`](https://wordpoints.org/user-guide/shortcodes/wordpoints_how_to_get_points/) shortcode. The plugin also provides [several widgets](https://wordpoints.org/user-guide/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](https://wordpoints.org/roadmap/). Also on the plugin’s website, you can [browse the available extensions](https://wordpoints.org/extensions/).

More are being added regularly, so take a look to see what is new. #### Developers If you are a developer, designer, or accessibility expert, and you’d like to give back to this plugin, you should visit the [plugin’s repo on GitHub](https://github.com/WordPoints/wordpoints/), where active development takes place.

However, when you install extensions from WordPoints.org or other servers, WordPoints may communicate with those services in order to provide you updates for the extensions. Check the privacy policy of the extension server in question to learn more about what information is shared with it, though generally only the ID and version of the extension will be sent to the update service. ## Screenshots * [[ * An example of a table of points log entries. * [[ * The Points Types administration screen.

This should usually never happen. * More fatal errors when viewing the points logs after deactivating BuddyPress. * “Update package not found” errors when attempting to update an extension. #### 2.4.0 — 2017-10-26 **Requires: WordPress 4.7+** Added * Extensions can now be updated from within the admin screens, just like plugins can. If you have installed any extensions from WordPoints.org, you may be prompted to enter your license key after updating. You can get your license key for an extension from the [My Account](https://wordpoints.org/my-account/) page. * New `[wordpoints_rank_list]` shortcode to display a list of the ranks that users can have on the site. * Reaction settings can now include conditions on a post’s terms. This means that points can now be awarded for posts based on tags, categories, or custom taxonomies. * When no Reactions have been created for a points type yet, WordPoints will offer to create some demo reactions to help you get started. Changed * “Modules” are now called “extensions”. The term “extension” is more familiar and obvious in its meaning than “module”. * When deleting a points type, you are now required to type the name of the points type in the confirmation dialog. This helps to ensure that points types aren’t deleted accidentally. In addition, the confirmation dialogs for when a Reaction or Rank is being deleted have been updated to so the reaction description or rank name, respectively, so that it is clear which rank or reaction is being deleted. Fixed * The Top Users points table will always order results for users with same number of points consistently, rather than it being more-or-less random. If two users have the same number of points, the one with the lowest ID will come before the one with the higher ID number. Thanks to Gspin96 for the patch! * Improved performance of the Ranks component. Creating ranks should be much quicker on sites with large numbers of users now. * The Max setting of the Contains condition for Reactions now interprets an empty max to mean no maximum, rather than a maximum of 0. * Corrected the invalid HTML that was breaking the user profile admin screen. * Fatal errors when viewing points logs after deactivating the BuddyPress plugin. #### 2.3.0 — 2017-03-14 Security * Hardening: Module files are now validated before deletion. Previously a user with the capabilities to manage modules could list and delete any directory via the Delete Module admin screen. Added * The ability to disable an event reaction without deleting it. * The ability to set Conditions for a reaction on the post title, excerpt, and comment count. * Support for setting Conditions for a reaction on numeric attributes of an entity involved in an event (for example, post comment count). Available conditions are currently Equals, Greater Than, and Less Than. * The ability to set Conditions for a reaction or award points based on the parent of a page or other hierarchical post type. * The ability to set Conditions for a reaction on the comment content, or attributes of the parent comment if the comment is a reply. * Support for events that involve multiple entities (like when a user is added to a group, for example). * Better support for right-to-left locales. * More comments to aid in translation of the plugin. * Meta box with shortcode examples to the Points Types screen. Changed * CSS and JS files to be minified. * Reactions UI to improve accessibility for unsighted users by allowing success and error messages to be spoken aloud by assistive technology. * Network-active modules to also be displayed on the per-site Modules screens on multisite. * Widgets to improve display in small sidebars. The settings now allow for some of the columns in the points logs tables to be hidden, horizontal scrolling to be enabled, and the user names to be hidden so that just the avatars are displayed. Also makes it so that the user rank is not displayed next to the user name within the widgets. * The Comment Leave event to only be fired for comments, not pingbacks or trackbacks. * The name of the “Configure” screen to “Settings” instead. Fixed * Error messages being displayed when first adding a widget to the site via the Customizer. #### Older Versions If you’d like to view the changelog for older versions, see the [changelog.txt](https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/wordpoints/trunk/changelog.txt) file included with the plugin. ## Meta * Version **2.4.2** * Last updated **8 anys ago** * Active installations **100+** * WordPress version ** 4.7 or higher ** * Tested up to **5.0.25** * Languages * [Chinese (China)](https://cn.wordpress.org/plugins/wordpoints/) i [English (US)](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpoints/). * [Translate into your language](https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/wordpoints) * Tags * [Awards](https://bal.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/awards/)[credits](https://bal.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/credits/) [gamify](https://bal.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/gamify/)[points](https://bal.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/points/) [Rewards](https://bal.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/rewards/) * [Advanced View](https://bal.wordpress.org/plugins/wordpoints/advanced/) ## Ratings 5 out of 5 stars. * [ 31 5-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wordpoints/reviews/?filter=5) * [ 0 4-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wordpoints/reviews/?filter=4) * [ 0 3-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wordpoints/reviews/?filter=3) * [ 0 2-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wordpoints/reviews/?filter=2) * [ 0 1-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wordpoints/reviews/?filter=1) [Add my review](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wordpoints/reviews/#new-post) [See all reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wordpoints/reviews/) ## Contributors * [ J.D.
