Points Management System For Gamification, Ranks, Badges, and Loyalty Rewards Program – myCred

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

560 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 20 listed. 429 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words).

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 3.2 years ago; the previous band took 4.8 years to cross, which places it about 50% of the way through.

   Genuinely impressed by how much myCred offers right out of the box — even on the free plan. The customization options are extensive, and setting up a gamification system feels intuitive rather than overwhelming. It’s the kind of plugin that grows with you; start simple, then layer in complexity as you need it. The fact that something this powerful is also this easy to use says a lot about how thoughtfully it’s been built. Moving to premium without hesitation. Well done to the team!

   3 stars for having nice out of the box features but the “Link” and “Watch Video” widgets in Elementor don’t delete when you delete them. In fact if you delete the containers they’re in they duplicate. I have checked to see if they could be removed from the Text editor out of Elementor but it doesn’t even show up. I have had to wipe 2 pages that had either widgets. I tried to save the blocks as templates but the Link widget was STILL present. Thankfully I was able to delete the template to remove the Link widget but it cost me half of my days work. Please look into this or I’ll have to find a different gamification solution. Thanks
