  Hi, I’ve had a few people telling me they can’t find the follow button on any of my pages. I’ve added a subscribe bar on my homepage but is there any way I can get the follow button to show up on every page or even jus the homepage? Thanks

  WP.com: Yes
  Jetpack: No
  Correct account: Yes

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to moderators and staff)

  Hey there,

  Happy to help with this!

  I can see the subscription block has been added to the page template, and then what’s left is to add this to the single template, which is the template used for posts.

  This can be added here: https://myslicemyblog.wordpress.com/wp-admin/site-editor.php?postType=wp_template&postId=pub%2Frussell%2F%2Fsingle

  I like the look of your blog by the way, what are you plans for it exactly? Perhaps I can find ways to take it to the next level. :)

  I hope this helps so far and looking forward to hearing more!

  Just a thought, is there any way to make the subscribe and the search blocks narrower so they don’t stretch across the whole page? Thanks again.

  I just had a look and, indeed, see a Subscribe button on all your posts, good job!

  is there any way to make the subscribe and the search blocks narrower so they don’t stretch across the whole page?

  Some themes will allow you to edit the dimensions of the block:

  Add the Subscribe block to encourage readers to keep up-to-date on your posts. Your subscribers can choose to receive an email each time you publish a post, to receive daily or weekly digests of all of your latest posts, or select to receive no emails but to read your posts in the WordPress.com Reader. This block is available to all WordPress.com sites. If you have a self-hosted site, install t

  Usually, though, any block will take the width of the main content column. It is still possible to modify that, but you’ll want to use some custom CSS code for it. These kinds of customizations are available on plans Premium and above:

  No problem! It’s also worth bearing in mind that your site does have a default ‘follow’ button in our Action Bar – that comes up on pretty much any page of your blog when a visitor scrolls down; and it looks a little different depending on whether you’re logged in with a WordPress.com account or not. We have extra information about it in this guide:
