Under sharing settings there is a button for “comment likes are” and the box next to it, which is unmarked on my site, states “on for all comments.” The support site indicates that I can uncheck the box under sharing that controls this, which I have done, but I still get notifications of comment likes. How do I truly disable this?

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

How long ago did you make that change in the settings? Recently or a while ago?

I did not make a change to the settings. It has always been that way.

Oops!

My apology. Please disregard that previous reply. That was for a different forum thread.

Just to clarify, you are getting notifications for “likes” made on your comments on your own blog? Or notifications of likes on comments that you have left on other blogs?

Likes on comments I leave for folks who comment on my blog.

Thanks for that clarification! The Comment Likes setting you mention is for your own site. Other users can enable likes on their own sites as well. So when you comment on a site that isn’t yours, they may have likes enabled. Then other users can ‘like’ your comment.

Does that clarify things? Let me know if you have other questions.

Thank you for your clarification. I get comment likes on comments that I write on my own blog answering those who comment on my posts.

Is my understanding correct that if someone from another blog comments on my posts, I respond with a comment, that their site drives the like button on my comment to them?

Hmm. No, that should be controlled by your site’s setting. Can you link me to a comment that got one of these likes?

Not sure how to do that. Gary Lum liked my comment to him on my post Chinese Char Siu Ribs.

A) Wow. Those ribs look absolutely delicious. :D

B) You can click on the date of the comment to get a direct link to it. I was able to find the one you meant though. Is it okay if I post a test comment on your site? Then, I’d like you to post a reply comment and I’ll see where I’m able to ‘like’ that comment.

We just added the ‘like comment’ feature to the notifications panel and the mobile notifications, so it may be that one of those places isn’t respecting your blog setting.

Let me know!

Thanks! I just left a comment on that post. It’s awaiting moderation. If you would approve it and then make a comment reply, I’ll let you know what I find. :)

Done! :) Thanks for your help with this Shawna!

Awesome! I just ‘liked’ your comment. This is happening through the notification bar (but not the mobile app!). I’ll submit a ticket for our developers to get this fixed. :)

I’ll let you know when I hear back from them!

Perfect! Thank you for all the help with this! ^..^

Hello again!

I just chatted with the developer about this. Readers can ‘like’ content from their notifications, Reader, and eventually mobile apps regardless of the blog’s display settings.

Hope this clarifies things! Let me know if you have more questions. :)

This was not the case before. Something new I guess.

Sad that it overrides the blog settings…

Thank you Shawna!

Happy to help. Sorry I wasn’t able to make this work the way you want.

Let me know if there’s anything else I can do.
