  I have a bunch of likes on some posts that are obviously from spam accounts. Is there any way to delete these likes similar to how you can delete spam blogs who follow your blog?

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

  Hi there,

  It is not possible to remove likes from a post, no. If a site/post is public, anyone with a WordPress.com account can like it.

  We can force blogs to unfollow us by removing them from the Follower’s section of the “People” settings, but we can’t forcefully remove their likes from our own posts? That’s… A little weird, IMO. It seems like if you’re able to do one, then you should be able to do the other.

  Ah, well. Thanks for your help, hun!

  You cannot force anyone to unfollow you. You can remove them from your followers, but nothing prevents them from following again if they notice that.

  Removing someone from your followers list… Is… Forcing them to unfollow you…. And of course they can follow you again if they notice it? Without a block feature, that’s… Kind of how that works.
