Wbcom Family Kit integrations, share-ready badge pages, a public points-spend API, and reliability fixes. This release also includes the 1.6.0 work, which was not separately released.

  • New - Public points-spend API: wb_gam_spend_points() and wb_gam_can_afford() let other Wbcom plugins redeem points for external purchases (such as BuddyNext membership tiers) through one audited, atomic debit, firing a wb_gam_points_spent action on success.
  • New - Wbcom Family Kit: a new Integrations tab that guides you to related Wbcom products (WPMediaVerse, Jetonomy, BuddyNext, Learnomy, WP Career Board, WB Listora) with one-click install and activate for free members.
  • New - Badge share pages now generate a dynamic 1200x630 social share image per badge and earner, with Open Graph and Twitter card meta for rich link previews.
  • New - Block editor previews now render every block styled inside the editor canvas, and the Give Kudos block gained full editing controls and a styled preview.
  • Improve - Points settings are now grouped by the source plugin instead of by category, so each integration's points are easier to find.
  • Improve - The setup wizard is reoriented around the Wbcom family of products.
  • Improve - The badge share page is rebuilt as a polished card with copy-link and X, Facebook, and LinkedIn share actions, replacing the old browser prompt popup.
  • Improve - Family product logos in the Integrations tab render at a consistent size.
  • Fix - Async points evaluation no longer fails on busy requests. The per-request event queue is split into size-bounded Action Scheduler jobs so it never exceeds the 8000-character args limit, which previously dropped batches when many events fired at once.
  • Fix - Leaderboard and Top Members blocks no longer render as a silently blank block when their display is deferred to Jetonomy. Site editors see a notice explaining the deferral and the wb_gam_defer_leaderboard_to_jetonomy filter override.
  • Fix - Resolved a WordPress 6.7+ "textdomain loaded too early" notice from the cron schedule label.
  • Dev - Recurring jobs moved to Action Scheduler, dropping the custom WP-Cron interval.
  • Dev - Composer is no longer required at runtime; runtime dependencies ship bundled in libs/.
  • Dev - New wb_gam_og_accent_color filter to customize the badge share image accent color.
