Lost all followers!

    So a few weeks ago I changed my URL to a newer one and it meant that I lost all of my followers. Even now when people follow me, by the next day it makes them unfollow me. Most of my posts also don’t allow any comments on them and don’t show up in the reader. Would love some insight please??

    what is the URL of your site?

    Hi there,

    This is a know issue that sometimes occurs after a site address change. The followers are not actually gone, though.

    If you look at your site’s Reader feed at https://wordpress.com/read/feeds/102386651 it shows 488 followers for your site, and all those followers are still seeing your posts in their Reader feeds.

    I also followed your site now as a test, and your most recent posts immediately became visible in my Reader feed. So essentially it’s just the follower list under People that’s broken.

    We realise this is frustrating, but it’s not something our developers are able to fix at this time. I have reported this to them, though.
