Currently, this awards points to Content Author (author of post). So basically the author gets points for commenting on their own post. * Is there a possibility to check if the commenter is the author of post, and if so, skip/don’t award? * Here is the complete code that I use: * ``` if ( function_exists( 'mycred_add' ) ) { add_action( 'comment_post', 'award_new_guest_comments', 10, 2 ); function award_new_guest_comments( $comment_id, $comment_status ) { if ( $comment_status == '1' ) award_points_for_guest_comments( 'approved', '', $comment_id ); } add_action( 'transition_comment_status', 'award_points_for_guest_comments', 10, 3 ); function award_points_for_guest_comments( $new_status, $old_status, $comment ) { // Look for approved comments if ( $new_status != 'approved' ) return; // Grab the comment object in case it is not there if ( !is_object( $comment ) ) $comment = get_comment( $comment ); // Ignore Pingbacks or Trackbacks if ( !empty( $comment->comment_type ) ) return; // Get post author $post = get_post( (int) $comment->comment_post_ID ); $post_author = $post->post_author; // Check if the post author should be excluded if ( mycred_exclude_user( $post_author ) === true ) return; // Award points to author mycred_add( 'new_comment', // reference $post_author, // who to get points 1, // number of points to award 'Guest comment on %c_post_title%', // log template to use $comment->comment_ID, // save comment id as reference id array( 'ref_type' => 'comment' ) // enable support for comment related template tags ); } } ``` * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Points Management System For Gamification, Ranks, Badges, and Loyalty Rewards Program - myCred] Stop content authors from gaining points when commenting on their own post](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/stop-content-authors-from-gaining-points-when-commenting-on-their-own-post/) * Thread Starter [Lara Marks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/laramarks/) * (@laramarks) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/stop-content-authors-from-gaining-points-when-commenting-on-their-own-post/#post-4209370) * Alright!

The “Limit per post” field relates to individual commenter? * When I first came across that setting, I thought that it meant total comment limit for the post (e.g. max 100 comments from any user on each post) * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Add Multiple Users for WordPress] [PATCH] Lots of undefined variable fixes](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/patch-lots-of-undefined-variable-fixes/) * [Lara Marks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/laramarks/) * (@laramarks) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/patch-lots-of-undefined-variable-fixes/#post-4181956) * Thank you very much for posting this. I hope that the plugin author will implement it in the next update. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Points Management System For Gamification, Ranks, Badges, and Loyalty Rewards Program - myCred] Points for receiving a comment and question about logs](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/points-for-receiving-a-comment-and-question-about-logs/) * [Lara Marks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/laramarks/) * (@laramarks) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/points-for-receiving-a-comment-and-question-about-logs/#post-4173491) * This was solved by Gabriel in a different thread. * Browse to your hook settings and set points for content authors to 0. Then add this to functions.php: * ``` if ( function_exists( 'mycred_add' ) ) { add_action( 'comment_post', 'award_new_guest_comments', 10, 2 ); function award_new_guest_comments( $comment_id, $comment_status ) { if ( $comment_status == '1' ) award_points_for_guest_comments( 'approved', '', $comment_id ); } add_action( 'transition_comment_status', 'award_points_for_guest_comments', 10, 3 ); function award_points_for_guest_comments( $new_status, $old_status, $comment ) { // Look for approved comments if ( $new_status != 'approved' ) return; // Grab the comment object in case it is not there if ( !is_object( $comment ) ) $comment = get_comment( $comment ); // Ignore Pingbacks or Trackbacks if ( !empty( $comment->comment_type ) ) return; // Get post author $post = get_post( (int) $comment->comment_post_ID ); $post_author = $post->post_author; // Check if the post author should be excluded if ( mycred_exclude_user( $post_author ) === true ) return; // Award points to author mycred_add( 'new_comment', // reference $post_author, // who to get points 1, // number of points to award 'Someone posted a comment on %c_post_title%', // log template to use $comment->comment_ID, // save comment id as reference id array( 'ref_type' => 'comment' ) // enable support for comment related template tags ); } } ``` * With this code, you can add your own log entry. Oh and, this gives points to content author if the commenter is guest too (the core plugin doesn’t). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Points Management System For Gamification, Ranks, Badges, and Loyalty Rewards Program - myCred] Guest comments not affecting comment points?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/guest-comments-not-affecting-comment-points/) * [Lara Marks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/laramarks/) * (@laramarks) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/guest-comments-not-affecting-comment-points/page/2/#post-4193899) * Ah, sorry to say but one final bug remains. It awards the post author twice if the commenter is a member (because I have set 1 point for Content Author in the core comment settings). * Can we make this custom hook to ignore giving points if the commenter is already a member, because the core plugin does that already… * edit: or the alternative would be to set points to 0 in core settings? 🙂 * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Points Management System For Gamification, Ranks, Badges, and Loyalty Rewards Program - myCred] Big crash on V1.3 upgrade – unable to restore](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/big-crash-on-v13-upgrade-unable-to-restore/) * [Lara Marks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/laramarks/) * (@laramarks) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/big-crash-on-v13-upgrade-unable-to-restore/#post-4197871) * [@xberg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xberg/) Please provide more feedback. More detail will give opportunity for plugin developer to fix any potential issues for other users. * So, have you added any custom hooks to myCRED? What is WP_DEBUG telling you? Activate it through your config file and have a look through errors and post them here. And maybe post a complete list of activated plugins, it can be useful. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Points Management System For Gamification, Ranks, Badges, and Loyalty Rewards Program - myCred] Deactivate mycred-widget-css?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/deactivate-mycred-widget-css/) * Thread Starter [Lara Marks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/laramarks/) * (@laramarks) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/deactivate-mycred-widget-css/#post-4194957) * Thank you! * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Points Management System For Gamification, Ranks, Badges, and Loyalty Rewards Program - myCred] Guest comments not affecting comment points?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/guest-comments-not-affecting-comment-points/) * [Lara Marks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/laramarks/) * (@laramarks) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/guest-comments-not-affecting-comment-points/#post-4193852) * And it did!
