  I have been having this issue for sometime now. I have wordpress with a self-hosted website and when I search in the reader section it doesn’t show up. I thought it takes a long time to appear after publishing a post but I can’t seem to find a solution to it.

  Hey there,

  I added your site under my account and was able to see your posts in my Reader. Are you still having trouble seeing the site?

  Let me know,

  Thanks!

  Hey,
  Thank you for checking my blog and follow.
  So only followers can see my posts? What about the other readers?
  Well, I published a new post yesterday and when I search for it cannot find it. Even my older posts are not to be found. Not sure what the problem is. Thanks again.

  Currently, tag pages in the Reader on WordPress.com display content from WordPress.com blogs and not for self-hosted blogs. So, you won’t be able to search for your site via the tag feature at the moment.

  That is what is happening to mine. Just titles. No content. I have not tagged anything though. I want the public to see mine.

  @pickle9pink,

  Are you referring to a self-hosted site? I do not see one connected to your account via JetPack. If not, let me know if you are referring to WordPress.com site.

  Thanks!

  “So, you won’t be able to search for your site via the tag feature at the moment.”

  Not sure I understand this.

  Is there another way I can make my posts visible to WordPress.com readers when I hit publish on my self-hosted site? After I moved my content from WordPress.com to a self hosting there is a huge decrease of traffic. I want readers to be able to view my content. Thank you so much.

  Hi there,

  So if users follow your site via the Reader, your posts will show up in their Reader. However, your posts will not be seen via the tag search feature, for that is exclusively for WordPress.com sites:

  https://wordpress.com/tags/

  Let me know if you have any questions.

  Thanks!
