详情介绍:
GameEngine is a complete gamification plugin for WordPress. Reward the things members already do on your site, such as signing up, logging in, commenting, finishing a course or placing an order, with points, badges, levels and a place on the leaderboard. Engaged members come back more often, finish more courses and buy again.
Use GameEngine to run an online academy, a membership or community site, an online store or a blog. It connects to the plugins you already use, and a setup wizard gets your first points system, badges and levels running in minutes.

Every feature below is included and fully functional, apart from the separate GameEngine Pro plugin described at the end. Nothing in GameEngine is limited by a license key, a trial, a quota or a time limit.
Points system
- Multiple point types: create as many currencies as you need, such as Coins, Gems or XP.

常见问题:
What is a gamification plugin?
A gamification plugin adds game mechanics such as points, badges, levels and leaderboards to your website. Members earn rewards for the actions you want to encourage, which keeps them engaged and coming back.
Is GameEngine free?
Yes. GameEngine is free, and none of its features are limited by a license key, a trial or a usage limit. GameEngine Pro is an optional, separate plugin with more advanced features.
What can members earn points for?
Out of the box: registering, logging in, daily visits, publishing posts and pages, commenting and more. Integrations add triggers such as completing a course, passing a quiz, placing an order or joining a group. Academy LMS, Tutor LMS, WooCommerce and StoreEngine are switched on from the Add-ons screen; the other integrations add their triggers whenever their plugin is active.
Does GameEngine work with WooCommerce?
Yes. Turn on the WooCommerce add-on, and members can earn points for purchases, for buying specific products and for writing product reviews, and a rule can take points back when an order is refunded. You can also sell points by linking a product to a points amount under Settings → Buy Points. StoreEngine stores get the same kind of triggers through the StoreEngine add-on.
Does GameEngine work with LearnDash, LifterLMS, Tutor LMS or Academy LMS?
Yes. Reward completed courses, lessons, topics and quizzes, assignments and new enrollments, depending on what each LMS supports. The Restrict Content add-on can also lock the description on Academy LMS course pages.
Can I create my own badges?
Yes. The Badge Editor lets you design a badge with a shape, colours and an icon or your own image, with a live preview, and attach it to an achievement.
How do I show points, badges and leaderboards to members?
Add a GameEngine shortcode to any page or post. [gameengine_profile] shows a complete member dashboard, and the Shortcodes tab under Tools lists every shortcode with its options and an example.
Can I restrict content by points, level or achievement?
Yes. Turn on the Restrict Content add-on, then lock a whole post or page from the GameEngine Content Restriction box in its editor, or wrap any part of a page in [gameengine_restrict].
Will GameEngine slow down my site?
GameEngine loads its stylesheet and scripts only on pages that show GameEngine content, so the rest of your site is not affected.
Is GameEngine translation-ready?
Yes. The admin screens, the setup wizard and every front-end string can be translated, and right-to-left languages are supported.
Does GameEngine send any data to external servers?
No. GameEngine makes no external requests and sends no data off your site. See the "External services" section for the links that appear in the admin screens.
Does deleting GameEngine remove my data?
Only if you ask it to. By default, deleting the plugin leaves every point type, achievement, level and log in place, so reinstalling loses nothing. To remove it all when the plugin is deleted, turn on "Delete all data when GameEngine is deleted" in GameEngine's Settings. That removes GameEngine Pro's data as well, but not the WooCommerce coupons Pro has issued to members, which keep working.
Can developers extend GameEngine?
Yes. Integrations, add-on cards, admin menu entries and trigger fields are all registered through filters, so another plugin can add its own without modifying this one. On the PHP side see gameengine_integrations, gameengine_addons_list, gameengine_addon_slugs, gameengine_trigger_schema_fields, gameengine_settings_data and gameengine/admin_menu_list. In the admin app, gameengine.settings.tabs, gameengine.addons.cards, gameengine.adminMenu.items and gameengine.tools.shortcodes are available through wp.hooks.
Is GameEngine open source?
Yes. GameEngine is free software licensed under the GPL, and its complete source code is developed in public on GitHub at https://github.com/imrantushar/gameengine.
更新日志:
1.4.1 - 2026-09-14
- Fixed - The WooCommerce "Refund Order" and StoreEngine "Order Refunded" triggers could be added under Awards, where every refund gave the member points, and to achievements and levels. Both are now offered under Deductions only. A rule already saved under Awards takes the points away instead, and an achievement or level rule on either trigger does nothing.
- Fixed - WooCommerce "Refund Order" took points back for orders refunded before they were completed. The WooCommerce purchase triggers award points only when an order is completed, so those orders had earned nothing.
- Fixed - WooCommerce "Purchase Specific Product" awarded nothing when no product was chosen. It now counts any product, as the StoreEngine trigger of the same name does, and product fields in trigger options read "Any product" when empty and can be cleared.
- Fixed - The product list in WooCommerce trigger options held only the 20 newest products. It now lists every published product, by name.
- Added - An activity bell and an Activity screen listing the points, achievement and level-up notifications sent to members, paged, searchable and filterable by type. The screen starts empty after the update, and holds only notification types that are turned on, for as long as notifications are kept.
- Added - A Rewards Store add-on. Members spend their points on rewards you set up, with optional stock and per-member limits, through the
[gameengine_rewards]shortcode. - Added - A Badge Editor for designing badges — shape, colours and an icon or uploaded image — with a live preview, and a badge choice on each achievement.
[gameengine_achievements]shows a badge's icon or image, not its shape or colours. - Added - Streak options on points awards: count the consecutive days or weeks a trigger awards a member points, and pay bonus points each time the streak reaches a multiple of the milestone.
- Added - A level's built-in icon can be given a colour, which also colours the level's name in
[gameengine_profile]. - Added - A level can count all point types, and is then reached from a member's total across every point type.
- Added - Integrations with LearnDash, LifterLMS, BuddyPress, bbPress and GemBoards.
- Added - An "Assignment Submitted" trigger for Academy LMS, which fires when a student submits an assignment, independent of the existing "Assignment Evaluated" trigger. With GameEngine Pro it can include or exclude course categories.
- Added - The Restrict Content add-on's points, achievement and level lock now also covers Academy course landing pages. It restricts the course description, not enrollment, and the admin screen says so.
- Added - An Export / Import tab under Tools. It exports achievements, levels, point types, members' points history, achievements and levels, and the logs as CSV or JSON, and imports achievements, levels and point types. Award rules are not included.
- Added - CSV export of the dashboard's top members and of the logs.
- Added - A dark mode for the admin screens.
- Added - Notifications and Buy Points tabs in Settings, and an Available Hooks tab under Tools.
- Added - Share links on the achievements members have earned in
[gameengine_achievements], on by default, with a switch in Settings. - Added - With GameEngine Pro's Leaderboard Seasons, an achievement can be limited to a season.
- Added - A "Delete all data when GameEngine is deleted" setting, off by default. When it is on, deleting the plugin removes GameEngine's tables, options, badges and meta, and GameEngine Pro's.
- Changed - Every bundle and stylesheet in
assets/build/begins with a comment naming its source file, and the plugin zip now contains only the files WordPress runs. The complete source code and build setup are public at https://github.com/imrantushar/gameengine. - Changed - The
[gameengine_leaderboard]shortcode now subtracts deductions, matching the admin leaderboard, so a member's total there can be lower than before. Both rank members with the same query. - Changed - The Shortcodes tab under Tools lists every shortcode, including
[gameengine_leaderboard], with its attributes and an example. - Changed - A level's logo can be one of the built-in icons as well as an image from the Media Library.
- Fixed - Deduction rules took away no points. Any you have set up start deducting after this update.
- Fixed - The daily inactivity check stopped with a fatal error at the first inactive member it found.
- Fixed - Saving a level erased its plural name and its priority.
- Fixed - The list of user roles in trigger options failed to load.
- Fixed - A hook dragged into a rule always landed at the end, and hooks could not be reordered.
- Fixed - Integration tabs read "Gameengine" and "Wordpress".
- Fixed - The rich-text editors logged errors on every load for editor modules that were never installed.
- Fixed - The setup wizard's first screen showed no icons on its two options and described the plugin as an e-commerce platform.
- Fixed - Switching an add-on off announced "successfully Deactivate".
- Fixed - The admin screens and setup wizard could not be translated: the string extractor WordPress.org uses cannot read the admin bundle, the setup wizard never loaded its translations, and nine strings were filed under other plugins' text domains.
assets/build/i18n-strings.jsnow lists the strings in a form the extractor can read, andnpm run makepotregenerates it with the translation template. - Fixed - Deactivating the plugin left some of its scheduled events running.
- Fixed - Unlocked
[gameengine_restrict]content sat outside the content column on block themes. - Fixed - Changing a member's points on their user profile, and the
{points_balance}email tag, used point type #1 even on sites without it.
- Fixed - Data did not load on sites using plain permalinks. The REST root is
index.php?rest_route=/there, so a request that carried its own query string produced a second?and came back as "no route was found". Query strings are now joined correctly whatever the permalink setting. - Fixed - The Achievement Types and Level Types screens requested the pre-1.3.0 taxonomy names and returned nothing.
- Fixed - The "nothing here yet, import some defaults?" prompt flashed on the Points, Achievements and Levels screens before their data had loaded. It now waits for the list to come back.
- Fixed - Trashing a point system from its row menu wiped its name, plural name and award/deduct actions. The update endpoint wrote every column on every request, so a change that carried only a status blanked the rest. Damaged point systems have their name restored from their slug on upgrade.
- Added - A Trash tab on the Points, Achievements and Levels screens. Trashed items were unreachable before, so they could be neither restored nor deleted for good.
- Fixed - Row actions did not change when switching tabs, so the trash view still offered "Trash" instead of "Delete". The list table was rendering the actions it was given on first load.
- Fixed - A trashed item stayed in the list until the page was reloaded.
- Fixed - Lists could serve stale results for up to a minute after an edit or delete on sites with a persistent object cache. The cached lists are keyed per query, and the code cleared a key that was never written.
- Fixed -
gameengine_add_points(),gameengine_deduct_points()andgameengine_get_total_points()referenced a class that does not exist, so calling any of them was a fatal error. - Fixed - The plugin's four global functions are now declared behind
function_exists(), so a name already taken by other code no longer causes a fatal error on load. - Changed - Generated assets are now named after the source file they are built from (
assets/build/backend.jsfromdev_gameengine/backend.js, and so on) instead of carrying the plugin version. Cache busting uses the build's content hash, which the plugin already passed to WordPress. - Changed - The PostCSS configuration is now
postcss.config.js. - Changed - The readme spells out which source file produces each generated file, and documents the two addresses the admin screens link to.
- Fixed - Saving a level or an achievement without every optional field filled in raised PHP warnings with WP_DEBUG on.
- Removed - The "Pretty Permalinks are required for the REST API" warnings. The REST API works on plain permalinks, so there was nothing to warn about.
- Changed - Screens can now be registered by another plugin (
gameengine.dashboard.routes), withinjectReducerfor their state.
- Added - Extension points so a separate plugin can register its own settings tabs, add-on cards, admin menu entries, trigger fields and shortcodes.
- Changed - The Add-ons and Settings screens now list only the features this plugin ships. All placeholder and disabled controls have been removed.
- Changed - The achievement and level type taxonomies are now registered as
gameengine_achievement_typeandgameengine_level_type. Existing types are moved to the new names automatically on upgrade. - Changed - The admin menu is now registered below the core content items instead of alongside them.
- Changed - Admin menu styles, level shortcode styles and the content restriction script are now enqueued instead of printed inline.
- Changed - Trigger fields are now read from the live registry instead of a generated manifest, so the options shown always match the code that acts on them.
- Removed - The generated
assets/json/integrations.jsonmanifest and the development-only tooling that produced it. - Changed - The uncompiled sources and the build configuration now ship with the plugin.
- Fixed - The content restriction meta box no longer depends on jQuery.
- Security - The taxonomy endpoint now only accepts this plugin's own taxonomies.
- Changed - Removed the licensing and self-update SDK. Updates for this plugin are delivered by WordPress.org.
- Changed - Fonts are now served from the visitor's system instead of a third-party CDN. The plugin makes no external requests.
- Fixed - Scheduled events are now cleared when the plugin is deactivated.
- Fixed - The integration manifest is no longer rewritten inside the plugin folder on every admin page load.
- Improved - Refreshed the admin screens, including add-ons, breadcrumbs, empty states and icons, and the setup wizard.
- Fixed - Button states for unsaved changes and disabled actions.
- Improved - Rebuilt the admin interface on Tailwind CSS, replacing Chakra UI.
- Improved - Refreshed the complete admin interface.
- Added - License management for GameEngine Pro (now provided by the Pro add-on itself).
