Blocks Overview

WB Gamification ships 19 blocks you can drop onto any page, post, or sidebar to show points, badges, levels, leaderboards, streaks, kudos, and more. Every block reads live data, so once it is placed it keeps itself up to date.

What a block is

Section titled “What a block is”

A block is a ready-made display element. You add it in the WordPress editor, adjust a few settings on the right, and publish. No code needed. Many blocks also have a matching shortcode for classic widgets and theme files.

Add a block to a page

Section titled “Add a block to a page”
  1. Open the page or post in the WordPress block editor.
  2. Click the + (Add block) button.
  3. Search for the block name (for example, “Leaderboard”).
  4. Click it to insert it.
  5. Use the settings panel on the right to adjust what it shows.
  6. Publish or update the page.

All WB Gamification blocks are grouped under the Widgets category in the inserter, and their names start with “Gamification” or the feature name.
