The GamiPress – Restrict Unlock plugin is a premium add-on designed to lock specific gamification elements (points, achievements, and ranks) until a user meets predefined criteria.
Unlike the Restrict Content add-on (which locks posts or pages), this plugin specifically targets the unlocking mechanics of the GamiPress ecosystem itself.
This is EXACTLY the same product as distributed by the developer. Sales Page
The plugin adds a “Restrict Unlock” meta box to the edit screens of Points, Achievements, and Ranks.
Supported Elements: * Points awards and deductions.
Achievements and their specific steps.
Ranks and rank requirements.
Restriction Logic: * Requirements-based: Users must reach a specific rank, earn a certain achievement, or have a specific points balance.
Role-based: Restrict or grant access based on WordPress User Roles.
Specific User-based: Manually whitelist or blacklist individual user IDs.
“Pay-to-Unlock” Feature: * Allows users to bypass requirements by spending a configurable amount of points.
Adds a “Get Access” button to elements that can be purchased.
For those looking to customize the behavior, the plugin is built with extensibility in mind:
Action Hooks: Includes new activity events triggered when a user unlocks an element (e.g., gamipress_restrict_unlock_get_access).
Filter Hooks: Provides filters to override responses when a user attempts to gain access by spending points.
Template System: Uses an overwritable template system, allowing you to move plugin files to your theme folder for custom styling of the “restricted” UI.
Hierarchical Checks: Version 1.0.6 introduced a check to see if a “parent” element is restricted before processing requirements for a “child” element (e.g., checking if a Rank Type is restricted before checking a specific Rank).
Tiered Progression: Preventing a user from earning “Gold” points until they have reached the “Veteran” rank.
Monetized Achievements: Forcing users to spend “Gems” (points) to unlock the ability to earn a “Legendary” badge.
VIP Access: Restricting specific high-value point deductions to users with the “Subscriber” or “Member” role.
