GamiPress Leaderboards

Description

The Leaderboards add-on adds to GamiPress shortcodes, widgets, and Gutenberg blocks to publish user rankings based on points, achievements, and ranks accumulated in the gamification system. With time filters (today, current week, month, year, or custom ranges), drag-and-drop reordering, built-in cache, and lazy loading, the add-on supports large leaderboards without compromising performance, also allowing administrators or users with no gains to be hidden from the listing.

Key Features

• Ranking by multiple metrics
  Ranks users by points, earned achievements, reached ranks, or a combined sum of selected items.
• Flexible time period filters
  Restricts the ranking to today, yesterday, week, month, current year, previous periods, or custom date ranges.
• Shortcodes, widgets, and blocks
  Provides [gamipress_leaderboard], [gamipress_leaderboard_user_position], classic widgets, and Gutenberg blocks for insertion in any area of the site.
• Individual user position
  Displays the logged-in visitor’s specific position on a leaderboard, outside the main table, on any page or widget.
• Native cache and lazy loading
  Stores processed results and defers table rendering to speed up pages with extensive leaderboards.

Benefits of Leaderboards

• Measurable gamified engagement
  Stimulates healthy competition by showing who leads in points, achievements, and levels within the community.
• Performance preserved at scale
  Cache and on-demand loading avoid heavy database queries even with thousands of ranked participants.
• Developer-free configuration
  Each ranking’s parameters are defined through the interface, eliminating the need to edit templates or PHP code.
• Community profile integration
  Links each position to the corresponding BuddyPress or BuddyBoss profile, reinforcing the ranking’s social identity.

Who Is It For?

• WordPress communities, forums, and social networks that already run GamiPress and want to display competition among members.
• Online course platforms (LearnDash, LifterLMS, TutorLMS) that reward students for progress and want to display featured ranking tables.
• Loyalty sites, points clubs, and incentive programs that need to make user performance visible.

Aimed at those who have already built a gamification ecosystem with GamiPress, the Leaderboards add-on turns accumulated points, achievements, and ranks into tables visible to the participants themselves, closing the loop between achievement and public recognition. The combination of time filters, cache, and ready-made blocks makes publishing rankings a configuration task, without requiring theme customization.
