 * Hello,
 * I really need a gamification plugin for my system. I have been searching and 
   i found a lot. I need one that i can set custom actions (for example after answearing
   an h5p question) to reward with points and badges.
 * Captain up is a solution but it costs too much for my pocket.
 * Any suggestions?

 * thank you for your answer
 * Yes i know that one. It is a solution that does not fit into my needs because
   there are no points included. Only badges.
 * To tell you the truth i did not checked it thoroughly. Do you know that you can
   give away points by badgeos? I think not

 * Hm, I only scoped it out a bit for a project a while back, but that fell through
   so I didn’t get to use it as much as I had hoped.
 * I assume that points are included because [https://wordpress.org/plugins/badgeos/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/badgeos/)
   lists “Point thresholds,” “Award points for commenting, logging in, making submissions,
   completing any combination of tasks,” and “Option to show logged in users total
   points they have earned (if you are using BadgeOS points mechanism).”

 * thanks again for your answer.
 * I saw that too as soon as i read your previous answer (i mean the sentenses concerning
   points into badgeos list). Since then i am trying to understand how it is possible
   and i did not do it. I wiil study it a lit bit more.
 * It was the first plugin i checked a month ago. i have not been able to do it 
   then either.
 * i want to use H5P for creating questions (multiple choice or whatever) and reward
   with points and badges (every 300 points a badge) the users for the right answer.
 * I will check better BadgeOS. If you or someone else are thinking for another 
   one solution please share

 * For specifics, I recommend asking at [https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/badgeos](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/badgeos)
   so the plugin’s developers and support community can help you with this.

 * Thanks again.
    Searching the posts in support badgeos for similar questions i
   found out that with badgeos you can not earn points without earning a badge.
 * I need a gamification system that awards with points custom actions that i can
   set(the right answer of H5P questions) and badges every specific amount of points.
 * Any ideas?
 * And something else relevant to the discussion. As i mentioned before captain 
   up is a valid solution. But it is expensive. The code of captain up is in github.
   Does this mean that there is a way to use it for free?

 * According to [https://captainup.com/docs/wordpress](https://captainup.com/docs/wordpress)
   it was free, but it has been removed from the directory. That either means that
   they removed it themselves for some reason, the plugin had a security vulnerability,
   or it was removed by the Plugins Team here for a rules violation.
 * Either way, since it’s no longer in the directory, I wouldn’t recommend grabbing
   it, even from GitHub.
 * Take a look through [https://wordpress.org/plugins/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/)
   and see what you can find. All of the plugins there are free, which means there’s
   no harm in installing them to see if they fit your needs. Think of the time spent
   as a great investment in finding the perfect tools for your site. 🙂

 * hello again
 * i have communicate with captain up’s team and they told me that the plugin is
   not there anymore because it is not free. it costs 120 dollars per month!. but
   the code is still there (github) that’s way i am asking. it seems a little bit
   odd. You may know that the particular plugin works in conjuction with an account
   in captain up’s site. Your WP communicates with an API to your captain’s up account.
   The registration to captain’s up though is free! May i use it for free (from 
   github) or not?
 * I have already tried some plugins as you proposing. I got tired and i thought
   i could use the experience of the users of the forum. It seems that i may need
   a custom solution.
 * There are enough plugins about gamification and points. But it seems that the
   points are awarded only to posts, or to login or to facebook likes etc. I want
   to award the users for answering questions or to other custom actions they might
   do. I want to choose (as an administration) those actions

 * I recommend asking them about that. Just because the code is open does not mean
   it’s licensed for free use.
