What it does
On a gamified site, points lose meaning when a few users can pile them up in a short burst. This add-on gives you a way to cap earnings over a chosen period, such as a day, week, month or year. That keeps your points economy balanced and makes it harder to game the system, so rewards keep their value for everyone. It suits membership sites, e-learning platforms and community forums that reward ongoing activity.
It works on top of the GamiPress core plugin, which it requires. Limits can be set separately for each points type, so a site running several points systems can treat them differently. You can also vary limits by user role, which helps when member groups or subscription tiers should earn at different rates. Shortcodes and widgets let users see their current limits and the points they have been awarded, so the caps are clear to them.
Best for
- Membership sites that reward points by subscription tier
- E-learning platforms running points-based gamification
- Community forums wanting to curb excessive point farming
Features
Time-based earning limits
Restrict the points a user can earn per day, week, month or year to keep distribution balanced and discourage abuse of your reward rules.
Limits per points type
Give each points type its own cap, which is useful when your site runs more than one points system with different purposes.
Limits per user role
Set different restrictions for each user role so member groups or subscription tiers can earn points at rates that fit them.
Shortcodes for limits and earnings
Place shortcodes on pages to display a user's current points limits and the total points they have earned within those limits.
Display widgets
Add widgets that show users their points limits and awarded points, giving them a clear view of where they stand.
Works with GamiPress core
Builds on the GamiPress core plugin and fits alongside your existing gamification setup, from daily login rewards to monthly content contribution points.
