Loss of "like" function

    I have been blogging daily on WP for almost 9 years and recently, I am not able to “like” other blog posts. When I click a like button, a white, window opens, but nothing happens. Further, even though my passwords and user info has been saved, each time I want to comment on a blog, WP or another platform, I need to provide my e-mail, username, and url and then the WP prompt asks for my password. My guess is that it may be something that I changed, but I don’t recall doing so and it has become very frustrating. Any thoughts out there?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi there!

    Could you please share the link of the post which you are trying to like?

    Also, which browser are you using to open that website?

    Please share these details and then we can look at your options.

    I’ve actually seen a few cases recently where your browser is blocking third party tracking that allows you to “like” on some other domain using your wordpress.com account. Can you check your browser settings for that?

    You can see a similar report here from a few days ago:
