\n\t This article will guide you through the process of setting up the myCRED extension for UsersWP. <\/p>\n

Getting Started<\/h2>\n
\n\t You need to have the myCRED<\/a> extension for UsersWP installed and activated in order to access these options.  More importantly, you also need to install, activate and configure the myCRED <\/strong>WordPress plugin before activating the extension. <\/strong> <\/section>\n

\n\tSimply put, myCRED is the de facto standard solution if you want to reward your users for completing actions on your website. It adds a new CPT, named Points. <\/strong>Now, whenever your users complete a given action — say signup for your mailing list, or upload a photo, they are awarded a given number of points. You can integrate UsersWP with myCRED using our extension so that your users can get points based on their profile actions. <\/p>\n

\n\tThis guide assumes you know how myCRED Hooks work. For details, refer to the myCRED documentation<\/a>. <\/section>\n

Setting up myCRED with UsersWP<\/h2>\n
\n
1<\/dt>\n
\n\tOnce installed and activated, head to Points > Hooks <\/strong>and locate the UsersWP <\/strong>Hook. \n\t<\/dd>\n
2<\/dt>\n
\n\tDrag it to Active Hooks <\/strong>section — you may now customize the profile actions and allocate points for each action. \n\t<\/dd>\n

\t\"\"<\/p>\n

3<\/dt>\n
\n\tOnce done, you may add Points <\/strong>to the user profiles. To do so, head to UsersWP > Form Builder > Profile Tab. <\/strong>Click the myCRED <\/strong>custom field to add it to the profile tab. \n\t<\/dd>\n

\t\"\"<\/p>\n

4<\/dt>\n
\n\tNow, your users will be able to see their earned points in their profile. \n\t<\/dd>\n

\t\"\"<\/p>\n

5<\/dt>\n
\n\tFurthermore, they will also see a Transfer Points <\/strong>button. Upon clicking that button, a modal window will ask them how many points they want to transfer to another user.  \n\t<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n
