How do I add the 'follow' button?

    Hi, I have recently switched off of my .wordpress.com site and onto a wordpress.org site. I have moved all of my previous subscriptions onto​ my new site and​ have the option to follow my blog with the WordPress blue button and an option to subscribe via email for people who don’t have WordPress. However, I am wondering how I get the little gray​ follow button that appears in the bottom right-hand​ corner when you open up a WordPress site? Thanks in advanced!

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

    Hi @mckenzmorgan,

    I believe what you’re referring to is the “actionbar” and unfortunately that is a feature exclusive only to WordPress.com sites.

    WordPress.com users would be able to see this only when logged in and viewing other sites that are also hosted on WordPress.com.

    I would recommend visiting the WordPress.org forums, which is where you can find help for self-hosted WordPress sites and maybe even an alternative way to implement a follow button similar to the actionbar.

    Hi there,

    The action bar is not available for self-hosted sites yet, but the team on Jetpack is working on it. I can’t give you a timeline on when it should be released. But as long as you keep the Jetpack plugin up to date, you should get that the moment it’s ready.
