Override styles via your theme or inject custom JS as needed. ### Where is user data stored? * `user_meta`: EXP, level, Coin, Cash, VIP, referral * `wp_init_user_engine_inbox`: inbox messages (custom DB table) ### Can I extend or integrate it? Yes. The plugin is built around WordPress hooks and REST API. You can inject logic via `add_action`, `add_filter`, or build your own UI on top of the endpoints. ### Is it compatible with WooCommerce or BuddyPress? Not officially, but it’s modular and can be integrated via code or future addons. ### How do I send messages to users manually? Go to **Users Init User Engine Send Notification** in wp-admin. You can search users, customize message type, link, priority, and even set expiration. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Sobustatkujuce a wuwijarje „Init User Engine – Gamified, Fast, Frontend-First“ jo software wótwórjonego žrědła.

Added filters: All, Unread, System, Rewards, Activity, Other - Server-side filtering with correct pagination - Logical grouping of message types for cleaner UX * Minor UI and internal refinements for consistency and maintainability #### 1.4.3 – January 28, 2026 * Added VIP state–aware body classes for frontend customization -
