  I’m logged in but when I visit other blogs, I can’t click Like. Instead a new blank window opens with just address ‘https://wordpress.com/public.api/connect/?action=verify&service=wordpress’ showing.

  What’s the problem?

  P.S. I just tried and clicking like via Reader works but not if I go to the blog itself.
  Thanks.

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

  Hi there, thanks for mentioning this. I’ve just tested the Like button on a few sites and can’t recreate this. Could you please link an example of a site where the Like button is causing this issue?

  and also many other sites. I’m on Chrome, btw.

  I can’t reblog either.

  Thanks.

  Hi there,

  This happens if something is preventing us from detecting that you’re logged in, most likely due to an extension blocking cookies.

  Please make sure third party cookies are allowed in Chrome, and if you’re using any anti-tracking add-ons like Privacy Badger or similar, check if disabling those make any difference.

  I can’t click like or make any comments, either. I check my blog and still doesn’t let me click like or comments to the blogs I follow.

  Hi @margretdj, I don’t see any issues on your account, so if the advice @kokkieh gave doesn’t help, could you start a new topic here?

  You can add a “modlook” tag if you’d like to get staff attention.

  That way the people who have been working on this now-solved topic won’t get unwanted notifications as we troubleshoot your issue. Thanks!
