What it does
Many sites want visitors to pass their content along, but a plain share button offers no reason to click it. This add-on gives sharing a purpose inside your gamification setup. It requires the GamiPress plugin and adds activity events tied to social shares, so a share on a supported network can count toward the points, achievements and ranks you already use. You can reward sharing in general, or narrow it to a specific post or URL you want people to spread.
The share buttons can be placed anywhere on your site with shortcodes or widgets, and you can customize how they look without writing code. Supported networks are Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Pinterest. There is also an event that rewards authors when their own posts are shared, which suits multi-author blogs and communities where contributors help promote each other's work. It fits sites already running GamiPress that want sharing to sit alongside their other reward rules.
Best for
- Sites already using GamiPress for points, achievements or ranks
- Multi-author blogs that want to reward contributors
- Online communities encouraging members to share content
