  No likes are recorded – people are leaving because liking a post takes them to WordPress.org to sign up.

  Hi there,

  The WordPress.com Like button added on your site by the Jetpack plugin has no connection at all to WordPress.org, and what you’re describing is not possible.

  Using that plugin requires a WordPress.com account, so if someone visits your site and try to use that button, they will be directed to log into WordPress.COM, or to create a WordPress.com account if they don’t have one, but they won’t be sent to WordPress.ORG for any reason.

  If I visit your site while logged out of WordPress.com and try to use the Like button that is all that’s happening for me.

  If people are being redirected to WordPress.org from your site, it’s something else doing it. For help troubleshooting what it might be, please ask in the WordPress.org forums which provide support for the WordPress software you’re using for your site.
