Shortcodes Reference
Every WB Gamification block has a matching shortcode, except the three block-only blocks (Daily Login Bonus, Submit Achievement, and User Status Bar). All shortcodes begin with [wb_gam_ and work anywhere WordPress processes shortcodes: pages, posts, text widgets, and theme templates. The table below lists each shortcode, what it renders, its main attributes, and the equivalent block.
