GamiPress - Expirations

A gamification system can lose its meaning when rewards last forever. Points pile up, ranks never change, and old achievements stay valid long after users stop taking part. GamiPress – Expirations gives administrators a way to define how long each reward stays valid, so the system keeps its balance over time.

You choose between a specific calendar date and a relative time frame, such as hours, days or weeks after a user earns the item. Expiry is handled automatically, and the rules can be applied to points, achievements, ranks or requirements individually. The add-on works with the GamiPress core plugin and its other add-ons, so it fits into a setup you already run.

Features

• Fixed expiration dates: Set a specific calendar date when points, achievements, ranks or requirements expire. This suits seasonal campaigns and limited-time challenges with a clear end point.
• Relative time frames: Configure expiry as a duration after a user earns an item, measured in hours, days or weeks. Each user gets their own countdown from the moment of earning.
• Automatic expiry handling: Rewards expire on their own once the rule applies, so administrators do not have to remove points, achievements or ranks by hand.
• Applies to several item types: Use expirations on points, achievements, ranks or requirements individually, which lets you shape different experiences for different groups of users.
• Re-earning expired rewards: Because rewards can lapse, users have a reason to come back and earn them again, which keeps participation going in your community.
• Expiration notifications: Notify users when a reward is close to expiring or has already expired, so they have a chance to act in time.
• Works with GamiPress: The add-on is compatible with the GamiPress core plugin and its other add-ons, so it sits alongside your existing gamification setup.
• Balanced rewards system: Expiring points and rewards helps prevent inflation in your system and keeps challenges meaningful as time passes.
