  Whenever I try to follow a blog that uses WordPress, I get a response that my email address has blocked blogs. I can’t find the setting to change. I’d welcome any assistance!

  Hi,

  Please log into your blog account and check the following settings:

  Check the Discussion Settings page to make sure email notifications are activated.
  Check the Notifications page to be sure you haven’t blocked all emails from WordPress.com.
  Check the spam folder in your email program to make sure the messages were not sent there by mistake.
  If you are still having trouble, please contact Support for help and include an example of a post URL where you expected to receive a comment or other notification.

  https://wordpress.com/me/notifications/
  https://wordpress.com/me/notifications/subscriptions
  https://wordpress.com/settings/discussion/

  Please note that these forums are for WordPress.com hosted sites only. If your site is using the open-source WordPress.org software you need to seek help at these forums:

  Hope the above helps.

  Cheers !!

  Hi there,

  Yes, this is because you had block emails enabled under your notification settings:

  https://wordpress.com/me/notifications/subscriptions

  However, I see that you were able to disable the block, so you should be good to go.

  Please let us know if you have any other questions or issues.

  Thanks,
