What it does
Sites that run a points system often struggle to keep members aware of what they have earned. Points pile up quietly, and many users never check their balance. This add-on solves that by sending regular digest emails that report points information straight to the inbox. You pick how often each digest goes out (daily, weekly, monthly or yearly), so members hear from you at a pace that suits your community without you sending each message by hand.
The plugin uses the points, ranks and badges your site already has in myCred. You can include or exclude recipients by role, rank or badge, then build the message with predefined myCred template tags or your own custom tags to fill in personal user and points data. Custom CSS controls the look of the emails. Test emails let you check a digest before scheduling it, and logs record what was sent. It runs on single sites and multisite networks, and it lists BuddyPress as a requirement.
Best for
- Community sites using myCred points, ranks or badges
- Membership platforms that want regular points updates for members
- BuddyPress sites running gamification with myCred

Questions about myCred Email Digest
Do I need myCred and anything else for this to work?
Yes. The plugin is built for the myCred points system and uses your existing points, ranks and badges. It also lists BuddyPress as a requirement, so your site should have BuddyPress active alongside myCred.
Can I send different digests to different groups of users?
You can. Each digest can include or exclude recipients by user role, rank or badge. That lets you send one update to a specific rank or badge holders and leave other members out of that mailing.
How much control do I have over what the emails say and look like?
You write the content using predefined myCred template tags or custom tags you create, which pull in personal user and points data. The visual style is controlled with custom CSS, and you can send test emails to check the result before scheduling.
Will it work on a WordPress multisite network?
Yes. The plugin supports both single WordPress sites and multisite installations, so you can manage digests for several communities on one network.
