There are multiple Add-on Plugins available to enhance the badge functionality on your site. Such as:

Step 2: Set-up Login Links

In order for participants to earn a badge, they will need to be logged in to UBC CMS or UBC Blogs first. The most convenient way is to add a login link to your CMS site:

  1. Create your login URL. Your login URL for your website will be:https://cas.id.ubc.ca/ubc-cas/login?service=https%3A%2F%2Fsites.olt.ubc.ca%2Fwp-login.php%3Fredirect_to%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2FYour Site URL%2F?badgelogin=1. For example, if your website is dt1.sites.olt.ubc.ca, your login URL will be: https://cas.id.ubc.ca/ubc-cas/login?service=https%3A%2F%2Fsites.olt.ubc.ca%2Fwp-login.php%3Fredirect_to%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fds1.sites.olt.ubc.ca%2F?badgelogin=1. You can find your website's URL form Dashboard.
    You can find out the URL of your website from Dashbaord.
  2. Add this link to a page or a post or a widget. When a badge earner click on this link, they will be able to start earning badges
