Community profile badges disappear for WordCamp organisers of two different WordCamps

[petya]

When a WordPress.org username gets added to the Organisers of a second WordCamp, the community profile badge disappears.

Here's the use case:

• I've been added as an organiser for WordCamp Sofia 2013 - ​http://2013.sofia.wordcamp.org/
• I am also an organiser of WordCamp Europe 2014 - ​http://2014.europe.wordcamp.org/

I noticed that my community badge had disappeared after my profile was added to the organisers of WordCamp Europe 2014. Adding a second entry for my profile as an organiser made the badge appear again. But then I was listed as an organiser for the same WordCamp twice on the Organisers page. Deleting the second profile got rid of the badge again.

Clearing the username, updating and then adding it again seemed to do the trick - the badge appeared again.

Tested it with JJJ at #wcsf14 contributor day who suggested it had something to do with the fact that WordCamp organisers are not supposed to be a part of more than one organising team. He advised me to file it here.

It's a cool bug.

I had a similar issue - I was organizer for WordCamp Mumbai 2014 and now for 2015 - and my badge seemed to have disappeared. Removed the username, updated and added username and updated again - and issue was fixed - badge shows.

She is the organizer team of “WordCamp Kansai 2014” and “WordCamp Kobe 2013”, “WordCamp Osaka 2012”.
But badge is not displayed.

This same bug?

I tried removing their username from their speaker posts and then adding it again, because that normally will fix the problem temporarily, but that didn't work in this case. It may be a different bug, or just a different facet of this bug.

Confirming that this occurred for all organizers of WordCamp Orlando 2015 as well, for organizers that have been involved for more than one year.

#3055 was marked as a duplicate.

Have the problem too.

To fix, do I need to find the latest WordCamp that added me as a speaker, and ask them to remove and then re-add me ?

[iandunn]

That should work. You can also mention it in the #meta-wordcamp channel on Slack, and one of the devs re-can the badge.

Hi. I was a lead organizer of WordCamp Tokyo 2019, and had the same problem for a speaker.

It might be hard to fix this bug, but we might get a little better the operation.
I was wondering we should have the link to their profile nearby the input area of their WordPress.org ID in the wordcamp.org editor.

I think this has been resolved as of 2019, at least, for organisers/speakers who have spoken multiple times since 2019, via #703.

It appears that this is the commit that should've handled this on the WordCamp side (Which is what is telling us to add/remove the badge)

It's not clear if the user meta required for the above was backfilled to previous events, so it's possible that being a speaker in 2013, being marked as a speaker in 2025, and then having the 2025 speaker confirmation retracted could trigger the badge removal still.

This should likely be closed as a duplicate of #703 - I don't recall seeing many cases of reports of this same problem recently.

Data appears to have been backfilled. Marking as a duplicate of #703 as the underlying cause was the same.
