WordPress Core Integration
The WordPress Core integration rewards everyday site activity such as registering, logging in, publishing posts, and leaving comments. It is built in and works with no other plugin installed.

wp_user_register,wp_first_login,wp_profile_complete, andwp_first_postare awarded once and do not repeat.wp_publish_postandwp_first_postfire on the transition into the published state, so editing an already-published post does not re-award points.wp_post_receives_commentrewards the post author and is capped at 10 awards per day to stop comment-spam grinding.wp_leave_commentrewards the commenter and has a 60-second cooldown.- Comment actions skip product reviews so they never overlap with the WooCommerce integration.
- The post and comment actions for individual authors (
wp_publish_post,wp_first_post,wp_leave_comment,wp_comment_approved) are standalone-only: when BuddyPress is active, BuddyPress covers the same activity and these stay off to prevent double-awarding.
How it works
Section titled “How it works”These actions fire automatically on core WordPress hooks such as user_register, wp_login, transition_post_status, and comment_post. There is nothing to wire up. As soon as the plugin is active, a member registering, logging in, publishing, or commenting earns points.
Point values, daily caps, and cooldowns are configured in Settings. Adjust any default above or disable an action you do not want to reward.
Requirements
Section titled “Requirements”- None. This integration works out of the box with WordPress alone.
