  Why does my blog count more than 3’000 followers in the follow blog widget, while under dashboard site stats, it only counts 120. My site is https://siempreconcuba.wordpress.com/

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

  OK. I know that. But my question is why the Follow blog widget counts 3’070 followers instead of the 120 appearing in my stats. Where are the rest?

  Hi there,

  When you’re looking at your Stats page, you’ll see all of your WordPress.com and email followers in the “Followers” box and your social media followers in the “Publicize” box there. If you add all of those up, you’ll get the follower count that appears on your blog.

  Please let me know if you have any questions about that. :)
