Description

The user logankipp forums profile states @logankipp on WordPress.org and Slack

The correct Slack username is logan

The forums profile should state something like @logankipp on WordPress.org, @logan on Slack

Relevant links:

Interestingly this is not an issue for @Sergey:

Possibly caching issue though I just asked when Logan changed his Slack username from logankipp to logan:

Logan: mid 2016 i'd guess (src)

  • Component changed from Support Forums to Profiles
  • Keywords needs-patch removed

It's not just the forums, same on global profiles: https://profiles.wordpress.org/logankipp.

@logankipp on WordPress.org and Slack

The forum profiles fetch the data from slack_users table, same as wp-i18n-teams plugin.

If that table has inaccurate data, we should figure out why it was not updated when the username has changed.

Removing needs-patch, as the code that populates and updates that table is not open-sourced.

  • Resolution set to invalid
  • Status changed from new to closed

Turns out it's due to duplicate Slack accounts, the Slack username logankipp still exists.

It appears the user created a second Slack account rather than renaming the original Slack account
