What Is Ultimate Member myCRED?
Ultimate Member myCRED is developed by Ultimate Member and is a membership plugin for WordPress. It acts as a bridge between the core membership framework and the myCRED ecosystem to manage how points are gained, used, and displayed. It belongs to the membership category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for community building.
This extension solves the problem of low user engagement by providing tangible incentives for members to complete their profiles. It is designed for community managers who want to implement rankings, badges, and digital currency within their member directories.
Ultimate Member myCRED Features
The feature set is built around automating the flow of points based on community interactions within user accounts.
Profile Interaction Rewards
UM myCRED lets you reward users for specific maintenance tasks such as updating their profile photo or editing their general information. You can also automate points for basic actions like signing up or logging into the site daily. Administrators have the option to charge users for removing their profile photo to discourage incomplete profiles in the membership directory.
Advanced Gamification Display
The plugin beautifully displays user balances, badges, and ranks directly on member profiles. A progress bar can be enabled to show how close a user is to reaching the next rank level. You also have the option to show all earned badges in a dedicated profile tab, encouraging deeper exploration of the community’s achievement system.
Point Management and Transfers
Credits and charges made through profile actions are properly logged within the master myCRED logs for transparency. Specific user roles can be granted permission to transfer their balance to other members directly from their account page. This peer-to-peer point transfer system fosters a more collaborative and social atmosphere among your user base.
