Cannot Like Another Blogger's Post
-
On my iPad, logged into my own WordPress.com blog, and using Safari browser, if I navigate to another WordPress users blog post, scroll to the bottom and try to hit the Like button, the screen flickers like it is attempting to open another window, but my Like is not recorded. I tested with a specific post and following same steps on my iPhone (using Safari) and desktop (using Chrome browser) and Like was recorded fine. The issue isn’t consistent for all posts, but I have experienced this issue several times in the last two weeks. It may be related to my attempt to install and use the “Press This” and “Publish on your Blog” Chrome extensions. About the time this issue began, I was attempting to use one of these extensions, was having trouble and logged in to WordPress using my email address, when up to this point, since establishing my WordPress account 9 months ago, I had been logging in using my blog name as username on all platforms.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
If this is only happening in Safari on your iPad, it points to a problem with that browser. Please make sure that you have third-party cookies enabled in Safari, and also make sure that it has JavaScript enabled. If you have Safari set to use private mode by default it might be blocking both of those, which would explain what you’re seeing.

We don’t have any Chrome extensions for WordPress.com, so anything you installed from the Chrome webstore was made by a third party, not by us. Any add-on installed in Chrome won’t cause a feature to break in Safari in any case.
There’s a Press This bookmarklet you can use in My Site ->Settings ->Writing, but that also wouldn’t have any effect on your ability to like posts.
