What it does
Running a forum means finding ways to keep members posting and taking part. myCRED already gives WordPress sites a points system, and wpForo gives them a forum, but on their own the two do not talk to each other. This addon links them, so activity in your forum becomes something members can earn points for. New topics, posts and votes can all feed into the same reward program you run with myCRED across the rest of your site.
The plugin also ties points to how members react to content. Likes and upvotes can award points, while dislikes and downvotes can optionally take points away, and admins decide whether those deductions are switched on. Members who cast votes can earn points too. Earned badges and ranks appear under post author avatars and on profile pages, with responsive displays for different screen sizes. Customizable log templates record each point change for easier moderation. It requires a recent release of wpForo.
Best for
- Community sites running wpForo forums
- Site owners already using myCRED for rewards
- Forums that want to encourage quality posts
