  I am having difficult posting the correct amount of followers for my site. The default number ‘232’ is incorrect and I do not know how to adjust it.
  Can you please help?
  Also is there no feature to connect the sharing with instagram? I can automatically share on facebook, but I cannot share on instagram?

  Hi @beutiflee,

  I am having difficult posting the correct amount of followers for my site.

  How do you know the default number of ‘232’ is incorrect?

  Have you looked at how stats are counted at https://en.support.wordpress.com/followers/? Your numbers can be broken down in a variety of ways.

  Also is there no feature to connect the sharing with instagram?

  Unfortunately, there is no current way to automatically share with Instagram. It’s offered for many social media platforms. WordPress.com has a forum dedicated to ideas like yours. Feel free to post it at https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/ideas.

  For now, the best way to incorporate Instagram into your site is the widget you’re already using. Should you need more tips you can visit https://en.support.wordpress.com/instagram/ for ways on how to integrate Instagram with beutiflee.wordpress.com.

  Let me know if I can assist you further!

  @beutiflee,
  I have been dealing with a similar situation. My combined follower number jumped from 90 one day to over 300 the next with no increase in views or visitors. I believe the 300 number is wrong, but I don’t know for sure and if it is, I don’t know how to fix it. My site is http://www.stepbackandbreathe.com

  Is there a way of finding out how many followers I have and who they are. I have a number who have said that they have signed up to ‘follow’ me but would like to know just how many.
  Thanks in anticipation
