  I’m having trouble with the LIKE feature of WP across the internet. I don’t know if it’s a problem I’m having with my browser or what. I have Firefox 22.0 and don’t seem to be having any other problems. I’ve done everything in the troubleshooting sections and am still having issues.

  also, the blog url for me listed is from my job, but i do use WP and so forth across the web as MariAdkins.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I guess I could have been more clear.

  What’s happening is that I click LIKE and the link to log me into WP starts loading in a separate tab – whether I’m already logged in or not. But when it finishes, all I have is a blank screen. Nothing. Just a blank browser window.

  What do you mean by across the internet? Only free hosted WordPress.COM blogs have WordPress.com like buttons that you can click and they can only be used if you are logged into WordPress.com.

  Do take note that WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and “WP” has no meaning at all to us here as it’s vague. See here for the differences between the two http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  Provided your are logged into WordPress.COm and the blogs you cannot click the like button on are free hosted WordPress>COM blogs then please post the URLs of some for examination.

  like this.

  “F” is for…

  and it doesn’t matter if it’s a self-hosted wordpress blog or at wordpress.com. the like button isn’t working.

  Indeed it does matter because only those who are logged into WordPress.COM can use the in-house like button on free hosted WordPress.com blogs.

  WordPress.ORG blogs are stand alone islands.

  They are not included in the WordPress.COM community.

  http://thecatladysings.com/2013/07/02/f-is-for/ is not a free hosted not a free hosted WordPress.COM blog.

  I’m glad you wrote me back because I’d lost this thread and couldn’t find it again.

  When I said it doesn’t matter – I meant it doesn’t matter which platform I’m logged into or not logged into. Self-hosted or .com. The LIKE feature isn’t working. The site is telling me I’m not logged in – when I get that far. Else it just opens a completely white, featureless page which lets me do nothing.

  The Cat Lady Sings was the first non-.com site I could think of.

  I can give you a list of every .com site I follow if that would help. Because it’s not just one; it’s all of them.

  Sorry about the unintended duplication of the phrase above.
