Thanks for the info about the error.

The difference between the two classes you are asking about is complicated to explain, but basically, believe it or not, the design was originally based on the code for Widgets from WordPress core. There is a WP_Widgets class and a WP_Widget class, IIRC, so that’s how this was built.

Hi Leonard,

Yes, the Reset points extension should still work, and the logs are kept after the reset.

The answer to your other two questions is currently no.

Hey Shawn,

You’re welcome to email me ([email protected]), and we can talk.

You would have to manually give points to the users by following these instructions: https://wordpoints.org/user-guide/manually-editing-a-users-points/

Hi @mani46. You’re right that active development has been slow for the last year. There has been some development going on behind the scenes, but I haven’t had time to actually get a new release out. I have been planning to continue development, but so far it hasn’t worked out. I’ve also been thinking about passing on the project to another developer if I can find one that is interested, because I don’t want to see it die. If you know anyone, let me know!

Sorry for the delayed reply; I’m still recovering from an exhausting (but fun!) weekend trip.

It sounds like we need an extension to integrate with Ultimate Member. I’m not sure how Ultimate Member’s user creation process is different from the usual WordPress user registration, but in general WordPoints should work with most membership plugins off the bat, I would think.

Same for the custom roles: it should read the roles if they are regular WordPress roles, but if Ultimate Member is using its own role system, then WordPoints wouldn’t know how to handle them by default.

A ranking symbol is also a good idea!

This is in our list of suggestions here, and we plan to add it in the future: https://trello.com/c/1i6QOQZN/83-shortcode-to-show-user-position

This isn’t possible yet, but is planned for a future version.

Hi @tcartr07,

Yes, it should be safe to install with the latest version of WordPress. It has been a while since the last update, but I am working on the next release now, and plan to have it ready by the time the next version of WordPress (5.3) is released.

Hi @abhishek26. Great suggestion! I’ve added it to the list of feature requests here: https://trello.com/c/sRzhrsrd/122-points-for-using-an-image-in-a-post

You can vote for it there, and maybe it will be added in a future version, or in an extension.

Hi @laucoste, sorry for the late reply.

What you need to do is add code like this to a custom plugin or your child theme:

function wp11242255_top_username_filter( $name, $user_id ) {

    $user = get_userdata( $user_id );

    return '<a href="/m/' . $user->nicename . '">' . $name . '</a>';
}
add_filter( 'wordpoints_points_top_users_username', 'wp11242255_top_username_filter' );

Hi @limone111. Sorry for the delayed reply. It looks like you’ve already figured out what you want to do, but just for clarity, I do still offer support for this plugin, and hope to continue development on it as well. The next update has been a long time in coming, but I am planning to release it eventually. Thanks for your interest!

Hi Dave,

Yes, you can delete the excess jobs. There is only supposed to ever be one of these jobs registered, but perhaps there is a bug somewhere. I’ll see about fixing it in a future update.

Hi @gaudaru, sorry for the delayed reply. It currently isn’t possible to recalculate the points, although that is something that I hope to make possible in the future.

You would run a query on the wp_usermeta table using phpMyAdmin or another similar program. The table names may be slightly different if the prefix is different than wp_. You will also need to change the wordpoints_points-points to replace points with the slug of your points type (e.g., wordpoitns_points-credits).

SELECT users.display_name AS user, meta.meta_value AS points
FROM wp_users AS users
LEFT JOIN wp_usermeta AS meta
ON users.ID = meta.user_ID
AND meta.meta_key = 'wordpoints_points-points'
ORDER BY COALESCE(CONVERT(meta.meta_value, SIGNED INTEGER), 0) DESC, ID ASC

phpMyAdmin should give you the option to export the results as CSV.
