myCred Points Cap

Description

Points Cap allows configuring points earning limits for myCred users, setting caps by daily, weekly, monthly, or lifetime periods and displaying accumulated points relative to the limit through shortcode. The extension adds a control layer to myCred for sites with rewards, communities, courses, or loyalty programs that need to encourage participation without allowing unlimited accumulation.

Main Features

• Maximum points limit
  Defines how many points each user can accumulate in specific rules.
• Configurable periods
  Applies limits per day, week, month, or lifetime cycle.
• Display via shortcode
  Shows the feature on pages, account areas, or internal content.
• Balance versus limit
  Displays earned points and maximum cap directly to the user.
• Use with hooks
  Works alongside hooks available in the myCred ecosystem.

Benefits of Points Cap

• Accumulation control
  Prevents excessive points earnings in campaigns and active communities.
• More predictable rules
  Facilitates managing programs with clear limits per period.
• Transparency for users
  Shows how much has been earned and how much can still be gained.
• Rewards management
  Helps balance participation, scoring, and benefit availability.

Who Is It For?

• WordPress sites using myCred for points and rewards programs.
• Communities, membership areas, and educational platforms with gamification.
• Administrators needing to limit earnings per period without removing incentive logic.

Points Cap is suited for projects already using points as part of the user experience but needing to control the accumulation speed within myCred. By combining period limits, public progress display, and compatibility with hooks, the additional module helps keep reward rules clearer, more manageable, and suitable for recurring participation flows.
