My posts don't show in Reader

  • Unknown's avatar

    Please help! Since one month or so, my posts have not been showing in Reader. I think this may be a reason why I am having much less visitors!?
    I follow my own blog, and usually as soon as I publish something, I go to Reader to check that it is “public”. And it no longer shows there. (However, e.g. last night I published something with a tag “Crete”. Just now I went to see wordpress posts under the “Crete” tag, and did find mine)

    PS I did write to an older thread about the same problem, and one of the staff responded last week saying they are looking into my problem. However, since I would like this to be solved asap (especially if it is affecting statistics), I wanted to create a new thread. Thank you for your help!

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

    When I go to the Reader, I am seeing your most recent post:

    Please let me know why you believe your posts are not appearing, and I’d be happy to look into it further.

    Hello Jackie,

    Thank you for your prompt response.

    Indeed, I have asked a few of my followers (who follow only by wordpress and not by email) and this is the last post they see. It is the last one I see, too. And I have written several since this one.

    So, since most of my followers are “wordpress followers”, this means that a large part of my followers do not notice that I am active :-(

    I have no idea what this could be. I do not think I have changed any settings (will you be able to check?)

    Once we know what the problem is, I wonder if it is possible to post those posts (that I have written during this time) on Reader …? Is there a way to do it manually…

    Thank you for your help!

    Hi again, actually I just realized something. The problem started with the post http://pearlspotting.wordpress.com/2013/09/12/le-train-bleu-exquisite-and-elegant/

    I remember that I was writing this post and waiting for a photo to upload and suddenly, instead of simply having a new photo inserted, my unfinished post got published! And I had not clicked publish. It was as if a virus had decided to do something totally unexpected.
    I panicked (the post was not finished) and quickly found a way to delete it. I then found one of the drafts and continued writing it. Upon completion, I clicked publish and this is the first time when a post did not show up in Reader.

    Maybe this helps you?

    Thanks again!! Have a nice weekend.

    Could you choose ONE thread to post in, instead of two? That will save time for the volunteers.

    Sorry about this. Yes, let’s use this new thread. Thank you.

    Your most recent post “Sfakian delights” is showing up in the Reader:

    I’m not sure what happened with your post from 12 September, but it’s possible that for some reason there was a glitch with how it was published that prevented it from showing up in the Reader. Your other posts are appearing as usual.

    Hello Jackie,

    Thank you, but it still does not show up in my reader :-(
    The last post in my reader is the one I posted Sep 10, but every post I have written since then (nine in total!) have not shown.. including the one I posted today.
    Anything else you can do about this….?

    Thank you again.

    There was something awry in your blog’s RSS feed, which was causing your blog not to post to the Reader. We’ve sorted that out for you now and everything should be working normally again.

    Yes, each one of those nine posts is now showing in my Reader!
    Thank you so much for your efficient assistance!
    Have a lovely weekend.
