The badge system has been a big hit on our forums, but I’ve encountered a small issue. I’ll admit, I’m not the most savvy and my permissions for the forums end forum-side as an administrator.
There are a couple of badges that I can “preview granted badges” perfectly well (and it shows a healthy list of users) but it doesn’t award those badges. I also made sure I had update daily selected! My guess is that the query is snagging somewhere, but everything I’ve learned is from Discourse meta! I’ve tried to read up on other issues on Discourse meta, but none of them seem to solve my problem (or they do and I’m failing to interpret that they’re the solution 😛)

When you go to `SITENAME/sidekiq/scheduler` you can kick off the daily task, `Jobs::BadgeGrant`
Kick it off, wait till it finishes, then go to `SITENAME/logs` to see if you have any errors.

Looks to me like you forgot to tick “Query targets posts” on badge 104
