The GamiPress – Nominations plugin is a premium add-on that enables a peer-to-peer recognition system on WordPress. It allows users to nominate others for achievements or ranks, shifting the power of “leveling up” from automated triggers to community consensus or admin review.
This is EXACTLY the same product as distributed by the developer. Sales Page
To run Nominations, your environment must meet the following minimums (inherited from the GamiPress core requirements):
WordPress: Version 5.1 or higher.
PHP: Version 7.0 or higher (PHP 8.x recommended).
GamiPress Core: Version 2.0 or higher must be installed and active.
Database: MySQL 5.6+ or MariaDB 10.1+.
The plugin operates through a “Nomination Form” that can be attached to any achievement or rank.
| Feature | Technical Detail |
| Approval Workflows | Supports Auto-approval (after $X$ number of votes) or Manual Review (Admin must approve/reject via backend). |
| Nominee Selection | Autocomplete user dropdown; can be restricted by specific WordPress User Roles. |
| Voting Limits | Admins can set a maximum number of nominations a user can perform per item to prevent spam. |
| Revocation | Admins can “Revoke” an approved nomination, which automatically strips the awarded achievement/rank from the user. |
| Submission Notes | Optional text area for nominators to provide a justification (reasoning) for their choice. |
The plugin is designed to be “theme agnostic” and fits into existing layouts using standard WordPress tools:
Shortcodes: * [gamipress_nomination]: Displays a standalone nomination form.
[gamipress_achievement nominations="yes"]: Adds a nomination toggle to an existing achievement display.
Blocks: Includes dedicated Gutenberg blocks for nomination forms.
Widgets: Provides sidebar widgets for quick-access nomination forms.
Emails: Automated triggers for:
Administrator (New nomination received).
Nominee (You have been nominated / Your nomination was approved).
For those looking to extend the plugin or integrate it with other systems:
REST API: Full support for the WordPress REST API to fetch or submit nominations externally.
Hooks & Filters: Includes various action hooks (e.g., gamipress_nominations_after_approval) for custom code execution.
Templates: Follows the GamiPress template system, allowing developers to override the form’s HTML by copying template files into their theme folder.
Custom Events: Adds new triggers to the GamiPress “Event” engine, such as:
Nominate someone for an achievement.
Get nominated for a specific rank.
GDPR Support: Compatible with WordPress’s built-in personal data export and erasure tools.
Multisite: Compatible with WordPress Multisite (network-wide or site-specific).
