Followers issue

    Rootjosh–

    I wanted to let you know about a connected issue of mine to this thread. I am part of TOS Review Crew this year, and hope to be next year. For the past year, their requirement was that a blogger had to have 25 followers to participate as a reviewer. For 2014, the requirement is being upped to 50 followers.

    I’m working on that part (increasing our followers) but here is my dilemma: my blog still says I have only 40 followers. When I hand-count them, I have 29 WP followers and 15 email followers. So our numbers are inching up…but the Follow box on our main page still only says 40, not the actual 44.

    Applications to re-up for the Review Crew ought to come out for us in mid-November. It would be a great gift if my numbers could show the actual count by then…..if your staff could isolate the problem! I know they will believe me when I tell them how many I have plus the count issue WP is having….but you get the picture.

    Thanks so much, in advance!

    I’m having the same problem with my WordPress follower count. It’s stuck on 11 even though it shows 14. I’ve deactivated and reactivated my Jetpack subscriber plugin but didn’t fix it.

    Can you tell me what the problem is? I understand their were duplicates and the count change resulted from this correction but don’t understand the discrepancy in the follower count in my WordPress followers.

    Thank you — my site is http://plaintalkandordinarywisdom.com

    My numbers match the names on my Stats page, but while liking and commenting on my posts Oct 23 and 24, this blogger

    http://aquileana.wordpress.com

    followed me BOTH days and never showed up on my Stats list. I got email notification on both follows.

    When this happened some months back with another blogger (though it was just a single follow, not double), Staff said the blogger probably changed his mind after following, and so didn’t make the list.

    So I can imagine this reader could’ve done that the first time, on the 23rd, but change his mind twice? And neither time show up on my Stats?

    I thought it was fixed but just noticed my WordPress follower count is still not correct with the # of followers on the list.

    @Holistic Wayfarer That user is not currently following your site.

    @Found This Painted That Your count in the widget and in your Site Stats are showing the same number for me – 276, and those counts are correct as compared to the list of followers.

    @Pat – Please note that Jetpack sites do not include the number of Facebook, Twitter, or other publicize followers as part of the total follower count as they do on WordPress.com. If this doesn’t explain your issue, please open a new thread so we can take a look, or contact Jetpack support here:
    http://jetpack.me/contact-support/

    Because this thread has gotten very lengthy and the original issue has been resolved, I’m going to close it. If anyone is still having any trouble with their follower count, please open a new thread, so we can take a look. Thanks! :)
