What it does
Many sites publish good content that readers enjoy but rarely share. This add-on gives people a concrete reason to spread your posts: every share earns them points in the myCRED system you already run. Readers who might have scrolled past now have an incentive to post your articles to their own social profiles, which helps your content reach new people through the networks of your existing audience. It suits community sites built on BuddyPress, which the add-on requires.
The add-on connects to your existing myCRED points setup, so shares become another way users collect rewards. As an administrator you decide how points are handed out. You can set reward rules by post type, assign different point values to each social platform and tailor rewards to different user actions. It runs on a single WordPress site or across a multisite network, which is handy for agencies or businesses managing several sites from one place.
Best for
- BuddyPress community sites already using myCRED points
- Blogs and publishers wanting readers to share posts
- Agencies running myCRED across WordPress multisite networks
