What it does
Sites that run myCred often want small, personal ways to recognize their users. Tracking birthdays by hand and adding points one account at a time quickly becomes impractical. This plugin handles that job for you. It connects to the profile field where a user's birthday is stored and awards myCred points when that date arrives, so every member gets recognized without any manual work from the site owner.
The plugin works with BuddyPress profile fields, and it also supports custom user meta fields created through User Profile Builder, which helps if your profiles are set up outside BuddyPress. You can go beyond a standard birthday reward and set point amounts for particular ages, such as milestone years. It runs on single WordPress sites and on multisite networks, and it is built specifically as an add-on for myCred.
Best for
- Community sites already running myCred and BuddyPress
- Sites using User Profile Builder for custom profile fields
- Multisite networks that reward users with points
