Like Button Does Not Stick On Other Blogs
-
I had this problem before and you helped me with it. Now again, this same issue is happening. Here’s what happened last time and is now happening again:
“On a lot of blogs lately, I’m having a problem with the LIKE button sticking on another person’s blog. If I like a post or page, it puts my Gravatar there and says LIKED at the top as well. But if I click on another post or page on that same blog and then go back to the page or post that I just LIKED, it disappears and looks as though I didn’t like the post or page at all. So I do it, but the same thing keeps happening over and over. I did this 3 times on several different blogs on the same post or page and it appeared to work correctly but when I went back to visit that post or page it had disappeared as though I never LIKED it.”
Here’s one example of a post I “liked” several times, but it never sticks: http://kindnessblog.com/2014/01/23/cop-gives-a-homeless-man-a-bottle-of-water-and-his-boots/
This is happening on several blogs though. I cleared the cache too based on your last response. I just don’t want to waste my time “liking” something if it’s not going to stick anyway. Thanks for any help with this.The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
