Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

Contests by Rewards Fuel connects your WordPress site to the Rewards Fuel platform. Use this plugin to embed live contests on any post or page. Create contests, entry methods, prizes, and rules in the Rewards Fuel web dashboard — the plugin handles connection and embedding.

What this plugin does

  • Connect your site with an API key from Account → WordPress Integration in the dashboard
  • View your contests inside WordPress admin → Rewards Fuel
  • Copy a shortcode or use the Rewards Fuel Contest Gutenberg block
  • Embed the contest widget on posts, pages, and most themes
  • Link out to the dashboard to edit contests, view stats, and pick winners

What you build in Rewards Fuel (not inside WordPress)

  • Contest schedule, rules, prizes, and appearance
  • Entry methods (social actions, newsletter signup, questions, referrals, and more — by plan)
  • Hosted contest page at r-f.page or embed on your own site
  • Statistics, CSV export, winner selection, and prize claim flow

Popular entry methods

Available entry methods depend on your plan. Examples include:

  • Click to enter — simple one-click entry
  • Newsletter signup — collect email addresses (with optional confirmation for newsletter entries)
  • Refer a friend — bonus entries when friends enter via a share link
  • Answer a question — collect feedback or quiz answers
  • Visit a URL — drive traffic to a landing page
  • Code word — entrants enter a secret phrase
  • Social actions — Instagram, Facebook, X/Twitter, YouTube, TikTok, Reddit, LinkedIn, Discord, Telegram, Twitch, and more (link-based actions; availability varies by plan)
  • Email list member — allow pre-approved emails on your contest list to enter
  • File upload — photo or document submissions

Platform features (dashboard)

  • Physical and digital prizes — upload digital prize files; winners claim online
  • Geo restrictions — block selected countries from entering
  • Bot protection — optional Cloudflare Turnstile per contest
  • Custom appearance — colors, fonts, backgrounds, and widget wording
  • 11 widget languages — English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Japanese, Korean, and Simplified Chinese
  • Contest statistics — entries, methods, countries, traffic, referrers, device breakdown, and entrant summaries
  • CSV export — download confirmed entrants from the dashboard
  • Winner tools — random or manual winner selection; optional auto-pick and winner notification emails when the contest ends
  • Scheduled draws — weekly, daily, or end-of-contest prize draws while live
  • Copy a contest — duplicate setup for your next campaign

Legacy shortcodes still work:
