Can't find the reblog button
-
Ever since the follow button et al relocated from the top bar to the floating window in the bottom right corner I can’t seem to find the option to reblog my posts. I was having no trouble with this a month ago. Please help. Thank you!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hey Kae,
That’s the new action bar you’re referring to! And yes, I’m afraid, for now they have removed the reblog button. Changes are being made to how the reblogging feature works, so it should be back again in future.
Here’s a good discussion on the new action bar.
For the time being, though, you can enable reblog button from Settings > Sharing, which would appear below your posts along with Facebook etc. sharing buttons. “Press This” is another feature you can try.

Hi Ehtis,
Reblog is a key reason why we decided invest time into a site redesign last year and also to pay annual fees to WordPress.
The removal of Reblog was done with very little fanfare and it arbitrarily changed the relationship you have with your customers. Last week we had thought that Reblog was buried under a different menu (when we needed it), but couldn’t find it then. Now we really need to Reblog (it’s a key function that had been around for a very long time). It’s clear from this forum that Reblog was yanked without warning. It would be greatly appreciated if you could put it back.

Posting the same copy and paste into every thread like this one despite the fact you have been instructed to post to https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/action-bar-feedback?replies=86 and have done that does not impress anyone. Stop this annoying childish behavior please and thanks, in advance, for listening. -

Long story short. WordPress.com liked the reblog function Tumblr bloggers had so they introduced that here and bloggers who didn’t know how to properly backlink to relevant posts in new posts of their own loved using it as it was and is a no brain required click. Now the reblog link/button has been removed from the Admin bar https://en.blog.wordpress.com/2015/08/26/new-action-bar/ so those who used it are crying the blues to Staff in the sticky post I linked to above at https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/action-bar-feedback?replies=86 -
