 * Hi,
    I have embedded an articulate storyline 360 quiz on a page. Depending on
   the result of the quiz, I have assigned an amount of points. I have created a
   button in storyline and assigned a specific URL. In Gamipress, I have designated
   this url to award points based on the link, so when the user clicks it they SHOULD
   receive an amount of points. However, this does not work. How can I get this 
   to work, please?

 * Hi [@cudworth](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cudworth/)
 * GamiPress – Link only works for links generated through [gamipress_link] shortcode(
   or block if you are using Gutenberg)
 * There is a list of attributes supported:
    [https://wordpress.org/plugins/gamipress-link/#which%20attributes%20support%20%5Bgamipress_link%5D%20shortcode%3F](https://wordpress.org/plugins/gamipress-link/#which%20attributes%20support%20%5Bgamipress_link%5D%20shortcode%3F)
 * Other links won’t trigger the awards
 * Other way you can get it working is to award the user for visit the page instead
   of click the link but this only will work if the link you want to award sends
   the user to a page of your site

 * Hi,
    Thanks for the quick response. I’ve got a link working using a shortcode
   in a block. However, i would prefer to award when users visit a particular page
   of my site. I’ve looked into it but can’t find correct shortcode. Any help would
   be gratefully received. Thanks in advance.

 * Hi [@cudworth](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cudworth/)
 * To award your users for visit a page you don’t need any shortcode
 * GamiPress includes the event “Daily visit a specific post” that lets you setup
   any automatic reward when the user visit this page

 * Hi,
    I have decided to use gamipress button to achieve my desired outcome. However,
   I have tried using the following shortcode. The button id correctly adds the 
   points but the link to the url is not working.
 * [gamipress_button type=”submit” label=”Click here!” id=”test_btn” onclick=”location.
   href=’https://mywebsite/’;”]
 * Thanks

 * Hi [@cudworth](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cudworth/)
 * Is exactly the same issue as an user reported here:
    [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/onclick-not-working-3/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/onclick-not-working-3/)
 * Issue comes that, when you copy a shortcode from wordpress or from a website 
   there is a small issue and is that double quotes gets formatted
 * Best regards
