Limit visit to one post per category per day

    Hello,

    I have 16 different categories with multiple posts in each category. What I would like is for the user to read a maximum of 1 post per category per day. For each post that the user reads, they are awarded 1 point.

    I have tried using this plugin with the following settings and the following results:

    1 – Daily visit a post of a specific category | [category name] | 1 times | limited to 1 per day

    If I use these settings, the user is only awarded 1 point for the first post that they read. Reading other posts in other categories does not award any points.

    2 – Daily visit a post of a specific category | [category name] | 1 times | unlimited

    If I use these settings, the user is awarded 1 point for each post that they read but they are able to read multiple posts in the same category.

    I was wondering if there is a way to award one point for reading 1 post per category per day?

    For example:

    – Category 1 has 5 posts -> the reader reads 1 post per day maximum and is awarded 1 point
    – Category 2 has 5 posts -> the reader reads 1 post per day maximum and is awarded 1 point
    – Category 3 has 5 posts -> the reader reads 1 post per day maximum and is awarded 1 point
    – etc…

    Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

  • Hi @freebetc

    Glad to supporting you

    Are you creating one award per category or have you created only one reward for one category?

    It should work as you want if you create the second example for every category.

    Please, check if you have GamiPress up-to-date since on latest updates we have added new mechanism to prevent visits duplication through browser storage

    Have a great day!

    Hello,

    Thank you very much for your reply.

    I have created one award per category and have tried the settings:

    Daily visit a post of a specific category | [category name] | 1 times | unlimited

    I have GamiPress plugin up to date, but unfortunately with this setup users are still awarded every time they read a new post. They are able to read multiple posts in the same category and be rewarded each time.

    I’m not quite sure what the problem is, but I would like users to be awarded once per category per day…

    Thanks again for the support.

    Hi @freebetc

    Yes, it is totally logical if you set that awards as

    Daily visit a post of a specific category | [category name] | 1 times | unlimited

    You will get more than one award per visit daily because you are not limited by one per day.

    So, if you would like to get what you want, then config a

    Daily visit a post of a specific category | [category name] | 1 times | limited to 1 per day

    And create one of those awards per category if you want a user can earn points for a daily visit a post per category.

    Hope it helps!
