  I’ve been getting email notifications to the email registered with wordpress alerting me to new followers (over 50 of them), yet not a single one is showing up on my follower list nor showing up as an alert on the wordpress homepage.

  Any idea why this is? Both my wordpress followers and my email follower count has stayed the same for months, yet almost daily i’m receiving notifications letting me know new people are following. It’s getting a bit frustrating.

  Does anyone have any idea how to sort this out?

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

  *replace NAME_OF_BLOG in that URL with the actual name of your site.
