I can’t use the ‘like’ button
-
For some time now, when I am on somebody’s blog and want to ‘like’ the post I’ve read, I click on ‘like’, a window pops up and disappears again – this is very quick, I don’t know what the content of the window is – and nothing has happened, I haven’t ‘liked’ the post.
I’d like to fix this please.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

PS: It goes without saying (but I’m going to say it) that the blog I need help with isn’t my own. I’m not so sad and lonely I need to sit about liking my own posts. But I don’t know how to edit that information out above. It’s all the other blogs on WP.

I should add, I can the like button works fine for liking comments. But on the same post, I’ll be able to like a comment and not the actual post.

Hi there,
This happens if something is preventing us from detecting that you’re logged in, most likely due to a browser extension or a setting that is blocking cookies.
Please make sure third-party cookies are allowed in your browser, and if you’re using any anti-tracking or security extesions, see if disabling those make any difference.

Thank you – I checked cookies and permitted wordpress.com. That has worked, I can now like posts. I note that the window still very quickly pops up and disappears, which doesn’t matter, but it seems odd.

What operating system and what browser version are you using so I can better troubleshoot this?
