BUILT FOR

Six communities. One engine that brings members back.

From a BuddyPress feed to a Jetonomy forum to a WPMediaVerse gallery, point the engine at a real engagement goal and copy a setup that works on day one.

Online communities and BuddyPress

Activity, comments, reactions, and group joins earn points. The member directory ranks by activity, so lurkers start taking part.

Course creators (LearnDash, LifterLMS)

Lessons, courses, and quiz passes award points. Finish badges and cohort leagues make learners compete by signup week.

WooCommerce stores

Orders award points, refunds debit cleanly, and members spend points in the redemption store. Loyalty without a second plugin.

Membership sites

Daily streaks and weekly challenges give members a reason to return, and a badge collection they will not let lapse. Streaks drive renewals.

Jetonomy communities

Members earn for joining a space (+5), gated approval (+10), and trust-level ups. Same team, same hooks, zero glue code.

WPMediaVerse galleries

Photo uploads (+10), albums (+15), and likes earn points. Run a photo challenge where top uploaders win the badges and the board.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

Not sure what to gamify? Start with one of these.

New to gamification? These are concrete setups you can build in an afternoon. Each one is a proven lever for getting members to take part and keep coming back.

Turn lurkers into regulars

Award the first comment, the tenth, the hundredth. The member directory ranks by activity, so taking part finally gets noticed.

Run a 30-day photo challenge

Members earn for every upload and album. The top contributors win a badge and the top of the leaderboard, then spend points on a reward.

Make courses worth finishing

Hand out a badge and a level for completing a course, and add cohort leagues so learners race their signup-week peers to the finish.

Reward loyalty in your store

Points on every order, redeemable for a coupon in the store. A rewards program that runs itself, with no second plugin to wire up.

Give people a reason to come back

A daily-login streak with milestone bonuses turns the daily visit into a habit members do not want to break. Streaks quietly drive renewals.

Spotlight your best members

Peer kudos plus a Top Helper badge surface the people who actually carry the community, and a level ladder gives them status to keep.

LIVE

Every action your members take earns points.

These are the real awards WB Gamification ships with, one per plugin you already run. Activate, and the points start flowing.

24,820 points awarded this week

WHAT YOU CAN BUILD

From a member's first point to a full rewards loop

Pick what your members earn for, drop a block on a page, and the journey runs itself: they earn, rank up, unlock badges, keep a streak, and spend points on rewards. Here is what each part lets you do.

01

Points for any action

Award posts, comments, purchases, logins, and course completions. Set values, daily caps, and run Points, XP, and Coins at once.

02

Badges, levels and ranks

30 ready-made badges plus your own, auto-awarded as members hit milestones and climb five levels. Issues OpenBadges 3.0 credentials.

03

Leaderboards and leagues

Daily to all-time boards that stay fast at scale, plus Duolingo-style weekly cohort leagues that rank members against their peers.

04

Streaks, kudos and login bonus

Daily streaks, peer kudos, and a login-bonus ladder that turn showing up into a habit members do not want to break.

05

Challenges and community goals

Individual challenges with point rewards, or shared community goals with one progress bar the whole team moves together.

06

Redemption store

Members spend points on custom rewards or WooCommerce coupons, with stock control built in. No second plugin needed.

Questions before you install

  1. 01

    Is it really free?

    Yes. Every feature, every integration, and every admin screen ships in the free plugin under GPLv2. No paid add-ons, no license key, no per-site limits. Updates are delivered to your dashboard automatically.

  2. 02

    Does it require BuddyPress or any other plugin?

    No. It works on plain WordPress on its own. BuddyPress, WooCommerce, LearnDash, and seven more are auto-detected when present, but none are required for the plugin to run.

  3. 03

    How is it different from GamiPress or MyCred?

    GamiPress and MyCred are free at the core but charge for each integration as a separate add-on. WB Gamification ships every integration, the redemption store, cohort leagues, and webhooks in the free core. If you only need one integration, GamiPress works. If you run a community with several, WB Gamification removes the add-on cost.

  4. 04

    Will it slow down my site?

    No. The award pipeline runs on Action Scheduler off the request path, and leaderboard reads are single-row lookups against a materialised totals table. It is built and benchmarked for 100,000-plus members.

  5. 05

    Can I use it with a mobile app?

    Yes. 56 REST endpoints plus an OpenAPI spec and an API-key header give first-class access for mobile, headless, and cross-site setups. The admin UI consumes the same API.
