Today, I attempted to follow a blogger who had just followed mine. When I clicked on “Follow” it showed that I had followed. I refreshed the page and it changed back to unfollowed.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

The problem shouldn’t lie in any of those areas. I’ve followed a lot of blogs in the past including today. I ran into this issue before but that was last year and I think it was something that WP had done to prevent me from following. When I posted this issue then, I spoke to a couple of people on that thread and the problem was resolved the next day.

Hi there,
I checked our records — they show you successfully subscribed to https://alphawanderlust.wordpress.com/ and are still subscribed to it. If you visit that site now, do you see the “Following” indicator in the admin bar at the top of the page?
