  Hello!

  Every time I get an email that I have a new follower for my blog, neither the follow account, nor the email subscribers tabs update. I cleared my browser and website caches, but it still isn’t working.

  How is this possible?

  My blog is http://www.regalreads.com/

  Hi there!

  Your site hosted with bluehost.com – you can check this info by using a great resource – who.is


  Unfortunately, volunteers or staff cannot access files or data for sites that are hosted elsewhere, can only assist with sites that are hosted on wordpress.com servers. I advise searching for an answer on the host’s support blog. I found it here for you – Blue host support
  Cheers!

  Hello there,

  Many thanks for reaching out.

  This button here: https://d.pr/i/EIqi0u works with only WordPress.com sites.

  Have you added this manually to the sidebar?

  Many thanks.

  @hostaanita, since this is a different issue from the one in the original post, could you start a new topic here?
  https://en.forums.wordpress.com/?new=1

  You can add a “modlook” tag if you’d like to get staff attention.

  That way the people who have been working on this topic won’t get unwanted notifications as we troubleshoot your issue. Thanks!
