HU Challenge

No. Participants create an account from the challenge page. The plugin creates a restricted WordPress account behind the scenes and keeps the challenge login experience on the front end.

Use HU Challenge > Participants. Challenge-only accounts are hidden from the normal Users > All Users list to keep the site’s user-management screen focused on administrative/editorial accounts. WordPress authentication is still used securely behind the scenes.

The Participants screen shows each participant’s real name, public display name, email address, current-season yards, drawing entries, last activity, and registration date. Administrators can also edit a participant’s public display name there and send a password-reset email directly from the Participants screen.

Weekly limits and the 3-Day Consistency Bonus use a Monday-through-Sunday week in the WordPress site’s configured timezone. The new week begins Monday at 12:00 a.m.

Only participants who have earned at least one yard are listed. The public Scoreboard shows the participant display name and total yards. Full names and email addresses are available only to site administrators through WordPress.

No. Challenge data is stored in the site’s WordPress database. Password-reset messages are sent through the site’s normal WordPress mail configuration.

Each challenge task can be configured as one-time, daily, weekly, or unlimited, with a maximum number of units for that period.

The displayed start date is separate from the internal scoring season. Changing the date does not hide, reset, or move existing challenge results.

No. Challenge data is intentionally retained so accidental deactivation does not erase participant history. Site administrators can use WordPress privacy tools to erase an individual participant’s challenge activity.
