myCred Time Based Reward 1.0.1
Wordpress Plugins Mycred 4.8 (394 reviews)
myCred Time Based Reward is an add-on for WordPress sites already running the myCred points system. Instead of granting points for specific actions like commenting or purchasing, it awards points based on how long a logged-in user stays actively engaged on your site. The plugin tracks the time a visitor spends in an active tab, and it only counts periods of genuine interaction. Idling in a background tab does not earn anything. You set the intervals, for example every five minutes or ten minutes, and each interval can reward a fixed number of points. A reader who spends five minutes on an article earns a set amount, then another batch after ten minutes. This approach suits content sites, forums, learning portals, and membership communities where longer visits show real interest. Site owners can also require a minimum visit duration before any points are granted, so shallow sessions do not accumulate rewards.

Once the add-on is activated, all configuration happens inside the myCred settings area. You define custom time intervals for reward distribution, such as every two minutes, ten minutes, or an hour, and each interval carries its own point value. User role restrictions limit rewards to specific groups like subscribers or premium members, while excluding others. You can also exclude individual pages, posts, or entire content types, so time spent on certain areas never counts toward earning points. If you want the process to be transparent, enable a custom notification that appears each time a user receives a reward. This makes it easy to test different engagement strategies or apply separate rules to different parts of the site. The settings are laid out clearly, and someone who has never used a myCred add-on before can still adjust them without confusion. The whole setup remains under your control, so you can change values at any time.
Because the plugin focuses purely on time, it fits a wide range of sites. A blog or magazine can reward readers for spending a few minutes with each article, which naturally lifts page views and lowers bounce rates. An online learning platform can encourage students to stay with a video lesson or a text module long enough to absorb the material. A community forum can give members points simply for being present and ready to help others. An e-commerce store might keep visitors browsing product pages longer, while a membership site can offer ongoing rewards to members who remain logged in and active. In every case, the goal stays the same: give users a tangible reason to stay on-site and come back later. Over time, that builds a habit of visiting, which supports retention without needing constant manual moderation or special campaigns. The pattern works across any site where time on page matters.
This add-on requires the core myCred plugin to be installed and active. It is compatible with WordPress 4.0 and above, and works in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. The tracking code keeps database queries low, so the added load on your pages stays minimal. Developers get access to hooks and filters, allowing reward amounts to be adjusted dynamically or the add-on to be linked with custom code. The authors maintain compatibility with recent myCred releases and have refined the tracking logic over multiple versions. If you use a caching plugin, the add-on includes support to avoid conflicts. Every reward distribution is logged, which lets you verify that users receive the correct points and makes troubleshooting easier. The logged history provides a clear record of every point issued, so you can review activity whenever necessary. This transparency helps both site owners and users. The design is fully responsive and adapts to all screen sizes.
