    Yes, I am experimenting with Gamipress, it combines the features of BadgeOs with MyCred. Much easier to use and set up.

    A few cons:

    1. If you need any of the add-ons, they are $49 US each. A bit pricey. I have reached out and asked for a better pricing program / bundle.
    2. Very few integrations. LearnDash IS supported. But it there is no current integration with PeepSo.
    3. The plugin on the admin side is a bit heavy on resources…still figuring out if it slows things down on user side.

    But overall, a great Gamification plugin.

    @movethinksmile thanks for that, I’ll give it a whirl I have learndash and buddy press and there is a buddy press integration. Do you mean it slows the site down Adam when you say heavy on resources?

    AAAAAUUUUUGGGGHHHHHHH….

    …breathe……LearnDash is ridiculously over complicated…

    I now understand why GEA does NOT use the Essay feature in the quiz system to have us log answers to any of the questions.  [–] this close to using another LMS, like Lifter.

    Would that change the way your ‘fb’ page looks @movethinksmile ?

    the LMS has zero affect on how our site looks and behaves. It’s just a plugin, so PeepSo (our FB lookalike) remains as is.

    See what I’m saying? Now imagine a non-techie figuring that stuff out! @MoveThinkSmile

    Thank you again for all that you shared on this week’s coaching session. We should have it up by tomorrow or over the weekend. Just waiting for the show notes from @Paulo.

    For those following our progress..things are going well, quite well. The biggest hurdle is using LearnDash’s less than easy admin build courses.

    We are almost finished with our entire System!

    Last step is the gamification.

    And, we have an interesting situation. Gamipress, which is fantastic for using with LearnDash, does not integrate in with PeepSo. This means we can’t award points for social interaction. And, it’s a-la-carte add-ons get expensive, really fast. It would cost close to $250 to do what MYCRED does in the free version.

    So, we went back and looked at MyCred, because you get WAY more features for WAY less money. And it integrates right into PeepSo.

    BUT… saw that recently, the developer has announced he is abandoning the plugin in 5 days on May 7, 2018 (see the homepage).  This means unless someone takes over, there will be no support or updates for future WordPress releases. This could be bad for security, performance…etc.

    Yet, since MyCred is so widely used, I imagine someone will likely take over and keep it rolling. But using it is a potential risk….the question is….is it one worth taking since it offers so much more?

    Did you know which LMS-system that works with PeepSo?

    UPDATE: Our custom LMS is complete. We actually finished it last month, but have been focused on reaching launch summit. WHICH WE JUST DID!

    All of our marketing is in place, our very simple, yet super effective funnel is live, and the LMS is ready to enroll students!

    We’ve reached launch summit and are ready to kick some butt! Here’s the landing page for our leads which will give you a badass preview into our course, target, marketing, theme and overall creation:
