Levels Configuration
Go to WB Gamification > Levels in your admin sidebar.
Levels give members a visible rank as they accumulate points. A member’s level updates automatically the moment their cumulative points cross a threshold — no cron job or manual refresh needed.
The Levels Table
Section titled “The Levels Table”The table lists every level ordered from lowest to highest threshold.
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Level Name | The display name members see on their profile, e.g. “Newcomer,” “Member,” “Veteran.” |
| Min Points Required | The cumulative point total a member needs to reach this level. |
| Delete | Removes the level. The starting level (0 points) cannot be deleted. |
Editing existing levels
Section titled “Editing existing levels”- Click into the Level Name or Min Points Required field for any row.
- Change the value.
- Click Save Levels.
All members are re-evaluated against the new thresholds on their next activity. If you lower a threshold, members already past that point keep their current (higher) level — they are not downgraded.
The 0-point starting level has its Min Points field locked at 0 and displays “Starting level.” You can rename it but not delete or change its threshold.
Adding a New Level
Section titled “Adding a New Level”The Add New Level card below the table adds a new threshold.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Level Name | Required. A short name for the new level. |
| Min Points Required | Required. Must be at least 1. |
Fill both fields and click Add Level. The new row appears in the table sorted by points threshold.
Recommended structure
Section titled “Recommended structure”- Always keep one level at 0 points. This is the default rank for all new members.
- Space thresholds far enough apart that members must genuinely engage to advance.
- Give levels meaningful names that reflect community status.
Example:
| Level Name | Min Points |
|---|---|
| Newcomer | 0 |
| Member | 100 |
| Regular | 500 |
| Veteran | 2,000 |
| Legend | 10,000 |
Deleting a Level
Section titled “Deleting a Level”Click Delete next to any non-zero level. You will see a confirmation prompt. Deleting a level does not remove any member’s points. Members who were at the deleted level fall back to the highest remaining level below their point total.
The starting level (Min Points = 0) is protected and cannot be deleted. Always keep at least one level at 0 so new members have a default rank immediately.
