WordPress Questions and Answers (CMA) - Extras - GamiPress Integration


GamiPress Integration

Back to User Guides

Note: This feature was introduced in version 4.6.3.

The WordPress Questions and Answers integrates with the GamiPress plugin. GamiPress allows you to award your site visitors for different actions. GamiPress can automatically award users for actions on your forum.

The integration doesn't demand enabling any option - the actions are automatically added to GamiPress actions, so you just need to configure them.

To configure these actions, navigate to Admin Dashboard â†’ GamiPress â†’ Points Types and click Add New to create a new Points type or edit the existing one.

If you create a new Points type, give it Singular and Plural names in the Points Type Data section.

Then go the next two sections Automatic Points Awards and Automatic Points Deducts

  • Automatic Points Awards - This section defines the actions for which users will get points.
  • Automatic Points Deducts - This section defines the actions for which users will lose points.

Both sections work the same, so we will consider their work on the example of Automatic Points Awards.

  1. Click the button Add New Points Award.

The same way we can create some more rules for getting or losing points for definite actions:
