Member-facing polish: an admin accent control, a restrained on-brand activity stream, and faster realtime feedback.

  • New - Settings > Appearance lets site owners set the accent color used across member-facing surfaces, so gamification matches the community brand instead of a fixed default.
  • Improve - Redesigned the BuddyPress activity cards (badge, level, kudos, challenge) to a single theme accent with a flat surface and a subtle edge, replacing the per-type rainbow and heavy top strip so they fit the theme.
  • Improve - Gamification activity headlines now read as a short generic verb ("earned a badge") so they no longer repeat the card beneath them.
  • Improve - Swept every admin screen for consistency: unified button styling, replaced blank navigation icons, tokenized colors for dark mode, responsive tables, and accessible tap targets.
  • Fix - Realtime points and badge toasts now arrive in about 15 seconds instead of up to a minute; the heartbeat interval was silently falling back to the WordPress default.
  • Fix - Badge artwork stays legible in dark mode; the medallion now sits on a light plate on profiles and in the activity stream.
  • Fix - Legacy activity items created before the card redesign convert to the modern card automatically on update, across all four event types, with no manual step.
  • Fix - Public profiles show "1 badge" (singular) correctly.
  • Fix - Accessible names added to the email-notification toggles and the submission reject-reason field.
  • Fix - Admin screens on WordPress 6.9+ no longer show repeated "ability category not registered" notices and the "headers already sent" warnings they caused after install.
  • Dev - Gamification abilities now register correctly with the WP Abilities API: category registration, executable callbacks proxied to the documented REST routes, permission gates per auth level, and input schemas.
  • Dev - Added a regression journey and unit test covering the activity card and generic-headline contract.
