“Established Plugin Author” badge tracking plugin count incorrectly

Submitted by Gautam Garg May 20, 2026

I have 7 plugins in my profile. But the badge page says, I have 1 plugin in my account. There is some discrepancy in the data.

    The badge counts only plugins where you are listed as the original author/owner. In your case, you are the original author of 1 plugin, while the other 6 plugins list you as a contributor, so they are not included in the badge calculation.

    Thank you.

    Thanks Ankit for the information. How can we make sure that our name counts. I have commit writes to all the plugins. WordPress allows only one owner per plugin. That is correct for their use case. But as WP Folks is kind of social media platform. So, people should know who are the founders of that plugin.
    I think owner account should have option to assign multiple owners/founders.
