The GamiPress – Time-based Rewards plugin is a specialized add-on designed to create “daily-claim” or “timed-chest” style mechanics on WordPress sites. It functions by allowing users to claim specific rewards (points, achievements, or ranks) at predefined intervals.
This is EXACTLY the same product as distributed by the developer. Sales Page
Dependency: Requires the GamiPress Core plugin to be installed and active.
Post Type: Uses a custom post type (time-based-reward) to manage individual reward configurations.
AJAX Processing: Claims are processed via AJAX, meaning users can claim rewards without a full page refresh.
Time Tracking: Uses the WordPress timezone settings to calculate recurrence and cooldown periods accurately across different regions.
Data Storage: Reward claims and logs are stored within the standard GamiPress log system and user metadata.
| Feature | Description |
| Recurrence Control | Set cooldowns in precise hours, minutes, and seconds (e.g., every 24 hours). |
| Reward Randomization | Configure a “Min” and “Max” range for points. The plugin will randomly award a value within that range. |
| Probability Logic | Non-forced rewards have a default 50% chance of being awarded. You can use the “Always Included” toggle to ensure a 100% success rate for specific items. |
| Dynamic UI | Includes a live countdown timer showing users exactly when they can claim their next reward. |
| Multiple Reward Types | Can award Points, Achievements, or Ranks simultaneously in a single claim. |
The plugin is “theme agnostic” and provides three primary ways to display rewards to users:
Shortcodes: Use [gamipress_time_based_reward id="123"] to embed a specific reward in any post or page.
Gutenberg Blocks: Dedicated blocks for the WordPress editor for visual placement.
Widgets: A “Time-based Reward” widget for sidebars and footers.
REST API: Fully supports the WordPress REST API for headless setups or external app integrations.
Templates: Follows the GamiPress template system, allowing developers to override the display files by placing them in the /gamipress folder of their active theme.
Hooks & Filters: Provides various hooks (e.g., gamipress_time_based_rewards_claim_reward) for developers to trigger custom code when a reward is claimed.
Multisite Support: Compatible with WordPress Multisite, including data centralization features.
