FAQ

How many point types can be created?

Unlimited point types can be created

How many rank types can be created?

Unlimited rank types can be created

What is the default rank?

Default rank is the one with the “0” priority. It will automatically be rewarded to all the users. If you don’t want to create a default rank then set its priority more than “0” like 1,2 etc.

What is the difference between rank and achievement?

An achievement can be earned multiple times but the rank will only be earned once. Achievement is like a step while rank is like a level.

Any ideas for making badge images?

Yes! After installing BadgeOS, enable Credly Integration in the BadgeOS menu. That will seamlessly integrate the Credly “Badge Builder” into your WordPress site so you can design your own professional-looking badge images. (First get a free account at Credly.com if you do not have one.)

Can you help us design custom badge images?

Yes, our designers are available to create custom badges that represent your brand, the kind of achievements you recognize, and the audience you are reaching. From a single badge to a complete constellation, our team of professional badge designers get to know your needs through a tested Badge Design Process which consistently produces successful and delightful results.

See examples and learn more at: http://badgeos.org/services/badge-design/

Do you offer services to help us design, build or customize our BadgeOS site?

Yes, we do. We especially enjoy working on innovative projects with forward-thinking teams extending achievement recognition into new environments and surfacing achievement in new ways. See examples and learn more at: http://badgeos.org/services/badgeos-customization/.

Where should I report issues or bugs?

The ideal place for bug and issue reporting is on the GitHub site for the BadgeOS project.

Where should I contribute code back to the project?

Thanks for asking! Please do share back code modifications or enhancements you make for inclusion in BadgeOS core or as add-ons. (Functions that are specialized for just some users are likely best as add-on plugins to BadgeOS. We can help figure that out with you.) Visit us on GitHub to share your code with the BadgeOS community.

One thing about the BadgeOS Team is their dedication to promoting their super plugin and its equally super family of add-ons. Our team discovered a bug and informed them, and we were amazed at their dedication in dissecting and correcting the issue. That shows that the plugin and its users are in safe, dependable hands. Up BadgeOS!

Nice Plugin

andylehti December 17, 2020

It seems to roam throughout the backend even when you aren't logged in and just goes ham on everything. It kept requesting server data like what type of headers; if xmlrpc was disabled. The information the plugin kept requesting as if it was attacking my site: HTTP_SEC_FETCH_DEST HTTP_X_FB_HOST SERVER_PROTOCOL SCRIPT_FILENAME REQUEST_METHOD HTTP_DNT ADMIN-AJAX.PHP XMLRPC.PHP CLASS-WP-HOOK.PHP PLUGIN.PHP WP-LOGIN.PHP USERS.PHP I know it was the plugin because I logged over 20 requests a second, and when I disabled the plugin, they stopped. They also came from my server IP, and as an admin user. I re-enabled, and boom, they started adding up again. They also sent over 25000 LIST operations to my AWS S3 bucket in 6 hours.
