Attention fellow bloggers and readers. There is something going on with WordPress. I cannot like posts now and this has gone on for several hours. Also, WordPress won’t let me follow new blogs that I like, this has been going on for two and a half weeks. I don’t know what is going on. I’ve already contacted support and they’ve provided no solutions as of yet.
Please be patient while I continue to try and solve this issue. And know that I’m not ignoring any of your posts. Have any of you had these issues? If so, what did you do about it?
Sending lots of love your way!
Cherie
Let us know what is going on!!!!
I can’t help but think that someone is jerking me around. It’s just a feeling I have.
Join the club regarding being jerked around. It happens even in “high places”.
Right.
I sure will, Mary! 💖 Thank you so much!
This is an off and on problem. You are amazing Cherie!
Thank you so much, Ben. So, this has happened to you?
Thanks Cherie. Heres hoping it is a glitch. One can’t help but worry in this day and age. Keep us informed? Good Luck and God Bless!

Thank you so much, Mary Anne. I’ll definitely keep you all updated. 💖💐🌹
They will answer at some point, if not renew your message, very good evening
Thank you so much, Louise. 💖 And I definitely will. 😊
Thank you for the alert, hopefully this was just bugs in WordPress system and will be solved soon.
You’re very welcome. That’s what I’m hoping too. 🙏🙏🙏
Here also…
Whoa! 😲😲😲 You’re having the exact same problems huh? Are you thinking what I’m thinking?
It’s happened me before too Cherie. It’s frustrating but don’t worry about it but it’ll remedy itself! 😁👍
Thank you so much, Ken! This gives me hope! 😊
I haven’t had those problems, they just suppressed my blog entirely in the search feeds.
There’s a good chance what you described is a side effect from all the censorship algorithms they run.
Wow! Very well could be. Speaking of your blog being suppressed in the feed, I know another blogger this happened to and she was able to get it fixed in a few days. I can only imagine how aggravating that is. I’m so sorry that happened to you! 😲😲😲
Cherie! I have noticed that you responses to my comments haven’t been coming through, but if I go back to your page…I can find your response there. I have been receiving your likes…just not the comments. Thank You for sounding the alarm👏👏👏
You’re very welcome, Tam. 💖 There’s just a lot of weird things happening with my page lately and I’m so sorry my comments haven’t been coming through. I will keep checking in with tech support in the meantime.
Lo seguir algún blog, en ocasiones sí que me ha pasado.
I’m so sorry to hear this. It’s one thing when it happens every now and again, but as it is with me, I can’t follow anyone right now. It’s like the follow button doesn’t work for me. Thank you so much for sharing your experience with this. 😊
This has happened to me many times. WP is often wonky. It’s really frustrating. I’m not sure if it’s deliberate or a glitch.
What makes me really crazy is when I start losing followers that don’t want to be lost. I’ve gotten dozens of emails over the years asking why they have been “unfollowed ” without their permission.
Wow! 😲 That’s awful losing followers that don’t want to be lost. I’m so sorry that happened to you. I’ll definitely keep checking in with tech support.
Oh my god, that’s insane! Sorry about your trouble with WP
Hope you get this problem fixed! Sometimes in life we feel stuck like that 😉 And when we try to fix the situation to no avail, it’s frustrating.
Thankfully this ain’t life, so hopefully you’ll have this up and running real soon!
I think they’ll find our whatbthe problem is. They haven’t failed me yet. 😊🤗
That’s good! Hope it’s sooner rather than later!
Thank you, sweetie! 💖
I remember having similar problems with your blog when I first discovered it. What is WordPress’s problem?
I have no idea, Michael. Maybe I blogged about something that somebody at WordPress didn’t like and they got all up in their feels about it?
I’m a social media and content producer professional. I believe many platforms will sometimes shadow-ban people who will like too many blogs too quickly. This is the same with following or unfollowing too much on any given platform as well. Not to say that you did this, but they may have an algorithm that inadvertently targeted your account. It should go away. I’m not sure how long your shadow-ban will be. It may or may not be a shadow-ban but I call it that, as many platforms have this. Sorry that your account got triggered.
Thank you so much for your input, Sonyo! I so appreciate this info. I’ve been blogging 6 years and never had this happen before.
That’s a real pain. When I was convalescing post surgery a few years ago, I used the resting time to catch up on the many posts I missed over the previous months. After an hour I was unable to like or comment. I mean, I was legit. Reading, liking commenting. It took three days before I could resume liking and commenting and the same thing occurred. It’s not very encouraging to like and comment on great posts. Makes no sense.
I’m so sorry this happened to you. I’m hoping that maybe it’s just bugs in the system. Hopefully tech support will get it fixed. I’ll just wait it out.
I have a couple people I follow that I’m not able to like their posts on their pages but can like them from the reader… Anyway some of those posts just *blip* disappear and then a day later I find them in my feed as if nothing happened. Things always seem to work themselves out in the end. I don’t usually waste worry on them I just take a wait and see approach!
Thank you so much, Valerie. 💖 I’ll definitely wait this out. 😊
Girlfriend, our good ole tech right? 😝 If it ain’t one thing it’s another. While it’s frustrating don’t let it wear you out sweetie pie. It’s going to be ok. 👍🏼😊👏🏼
Thank you so much, dahhh-ling! 💖💐🌹I’ll wait and see what happens. It may be time to get a self-hosted account with WordPress.org. But I’ll keep this blog open until next year and let everyone know about the self-hosted account. At least, going self-hosted will give me more control and freedom, and it’ll be cheaper too. 😁😁😁
There you go girlfriend. Always a Plan B! 👍🏼🤔👏🏼
You betcha! 💯💯💯 Thank you so much, girlfriend! 💖💐🌹🦋💋
My pleasure as always dahhhh-ling dawwwwwlinkkkkk!!! 🤩💃🏼😘💃🏽🥰
💖💐🌹🦋🤗😘🤗😘🤗😘
Hope you get it sorted out. Lately, my browser keeps sending me to random places, instead of the links on which I click. Fingers crossed for us all.
Thank you so much, Jen! 💖 Definitely keeping my fingers crossed, sweetie! 🤞🤞🤞
Yes, I recently had my readership go down by 75% at least for a week. I would check and posts were in schedule rather than posted. It was weird. Then after about 10 days of that, went back to normal. Not aure what was going on. Weird.
Yikes! That’s not good! Buy I’m glad it ironed itself out.
Same with me they won’t let me post every weekend! 😤🤦🏾♀️
oh dear. That’s not good.
I know 😞 they better fix it!
Me too. It’s impairing my ability to engage with other bloggers.
That’s just annoying as heck. I’m so sorry this is happening to you. I’m hoping maybe it’s just bugs in the system and tech support can fix it.
I was once cyberbullied and had the State Police involved. What I was told was, the bullies hack into the site itself and play with your settings. Let’s hope this is not the case and is some temporary glitch. Of course I will hang in with you Cherie ❤️
Yikes! I’m so sorry this happened to you, Ruby. 😫 Fortunately, I have a VPN and a pretty tight password, so I can hope that isn’t the case. I’m going to wait it out and see. Thank you so much for sharing this.
This happens to my site a few months ago. But contacted them and they sorted it out.
Thank you so much. 💖 I’ve contacted them too so I’ll give it a couple days.
