Badges page Referrals section Connector slider not updating.

Submitted by Jackson Monichan June 5, 2026 Shipped Jun 11, 2026

On the badges page, the connector percentage slider is not updating.

Even when there are 4 signups already seen in the dashboard, still the badges pages shows as 0% and 0 of 5 referrals whereas it should have been 4 of 5 referrals.

    Hi Jackson,

    Thanks for flagging this. It’s actually working as designed, but the UI wasn’t making the distinction clear.

    WPFolks tracks two numbers for referrals:

    Signups (the “4” on your dashboard): folks who used your invite link.
    Verified referrals (the “0 of 5” on the badges page): folks who also completed their profile.
    The Connector badge only counts the second number. An invitee has to verify their email, add a bio, and add a social or wp.org link before they count. This keeps bots and abandoned signups out of the leaderboard.

    Your 4 invitees signed up but haven’t finished those steps yet. As soon as any of them does, the badges page will show 1 of 5 and keep going.

    I also pushed a small UI update so the badges page now spells this out under the progress bar. You’ll see it after a hard refresh.

    Quickest way to move the counter is nudging your invitees to finish their profile.

    Thanks again,
    Ankit
