CubePoints is a point management system designed for WordPress blogs.

== Description ==

CubePoints is a point management system designed for WordPress blogs. Users can earn points by posting comments creating posts, or even by logging in on your site.

Encourage your users to comment on your posts by offering them points which could be used to purchase items / upgrades / etc. Users will be awarded a certain number of points for each comment they make. They can be awarded with ranks automatically when they reach certain points as well. 

A lot of API is available for other plugins/systems to work with CubePoints. For more information, consult the documentation.

== Installation ==

Installing should be a piece of cake and take fewer than five minutes.

1. Unzip and upload upload the `cubepoints` directory to the WordPress plugin directory.
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress. 
3. Configure the plugin to your liking through the 'CubePoints' menu. 
4. Add the CubePoints widget to your blog to show users the number of points they currently have.

For advanced configurations and integration with themes and other plugins, you may view the documentation that is included with the plugin.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Why are my users are unable to donate points to other users? =

Make sure you have enabled user-to-user donations in the CubePoints admin panel.

= Why is the widget does not display correctly on my sidebar? =

Some themes are designed in a way that placing text in the sidebar looks weird. You might want to contact the designer of the theme or edit the widget manually as found in the documentation that came with the plugin.

= Why are my users are getting points when they update posts? =

This bug has been fixed in the latest version of CubePoints (version 1.2). Make sure you have updated to the latest version and have the logging feature enabled.
