  I am trying to use the follow button widget, and I would like it to show my follower count.

  It used to show the correct number, but ever since I changed my theme, it says I have 0 followers whenever I turn “show follower count” on.

  Any help is greatly appreciated!

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

  I tagged this thread for Staff. Note that the follower counts do take time to update and there’s no need to panic. This happens frequently and Staff will deal with this thread and all the others on the same issue when they can. Please subscribe to the thread so you are notified when they respond and please be patient while waiting.

  Timethief … I have the same issue. My follower count has been showing a number, until today — well, at least it was today that I noticed it. I’ve been using the widget since it was launched … and it’s worked fine.

  Several bloggers have the same issue and I believe I have tagged all the relevant threads for Staff. It’s the weekend so do be patient while waiting.
