Is something broken?

  • Unknown's avatar

    I am trying to “Like” some posts done by other WordPress bloggers but when I press the Like button, it asks me for my username and password. Even though I am already logged in to my WP account, I type the information in and press Log In. This takes me back to the start of the post. I scroll down to see if my Gravatar image is there and it is not, so I press “Like” again. Again, it asks for my username and password which I again type in and press Log In. I have tried this at least 5 times and I am still not able to get my Gravatar to show that I like the post. I have cleared cookies and cache, re-logged in and tried the who procedure over again. I do not know what else to do. This is *not* a blog that I am following. I can go to my Reader and the like button works on those posts, but not out and about on others’ blogs. It has worked in the past. I use Firefox exclusively.

    Any ideas what I may be doing wrong or need to correct? Thank you for your assistance.

    Thanks for your assistance. It must have been that the third-party cookies were disabled. Seems to be working properly now.
