    @writelightuk, have you read the entire thread?
    Do, there’s a dear.

    No, don’t pay for premium upgrade. I have a premium site and it has been happening to me for weeks now. I got no different information than what we have heard here so far. Same problem, same response, same questions, and still waiting.

    the likes come and go. It takes about 24 hours for them to finally come and stay. See what happens tomorrow…

  • Unknown's avatar

    Yes, I have noticed that too. The likes seems to stabalize after about 24-48 hours. But I can’t tell if the instability is affecting who/how many have access to the post prior to that time. Does anyone know the answer to this?

    I have a good habit to go on those blogs that often leaves me a ,,like,, reading my blog, I believe it is a form of courtesy and friendship in time …
    to some of these, the great wordpress do not allow for leave a ,,like,, you open a card that tells me only the other … nothing!…
    here is the link that I open when I put the ,,like,, for the others:

    https://wordpress.com/public.api/connect/?action=verify&service=wordpress

    who can tell me what does this mean and why …
    thank you so much

  • Is it a ploy to make us pay for premium services???

    Premium services have nothing to do with this issue. Personally, I don’t think having something broken would be a very good advertising method.

    I had the same problem with my blog http://www.abudhabidaysblog.wordpress.com but I followed @johncaelan advice and now they have appeared!
    I just liked my own post, refreshed, and disliked it, and magically the other likes (of which I had notification but were not appearing on the blog) appeared out of nothing!
    It would be good to have a definitive fix though. :)

    Just wanted to say most of mine are now working, a few are a bit slow to load but thanks for support everyone.

    If there is any news about the issue of no likes, please keep me informed.

    I apologize if I offended anyone, but I give up … thanks so much

    Was there a fix to the appearing, disappearing, under reporting of the likes data on our blogs?

    “This is the Like button, and it’s a way for people to show their appreciation for posts they come across on WordPress.com. It’s also a way for authors to show the world how popular their content has become.”

    Recently I read there was a fix…simply empty the cache…well that doesn’t work and hasn’t. Would you mind an update on this problem. I cannot find the previous thread so perhaps fixed but not for me.

    Common scenario: reports 4 likes when there are actually say 20; or says “be the first to like” when there are quite a few already. I believe this goes toward the vibrancy of a blog and a barometer or measure of worth amongst peers. It is invaluable as a gage.

    The blog I need help with is swittersb.wordpress.com.

    The man above gives up? Unfortunate, but his frustration with not just a fix, more with the lack of basic courtesies? Hmmm?

  • Unknown's avatar

    No, there’s no fix yet. We must all go on with the status quo, which is driving us bonkers. However, we must all also note that the Automattic staff are being driven even MORE bonkers than we are by this problem. They do not enjoy being unable to fix techo failings. Still less do they like not being able to ascertain what the techo failings actually are.
    We’re frustrated. They’re frustrated. The bloke you mention, for whom English is not his mother-tongue, was additionally frustrated by that, I’d think.

    Tried johncaelan’s Jan 18th post here re: temporary “fix”: like, then unlike your own post, then refresh.

  • Unknown's avatar

    Just to lighten the tone a bit, I did the ‘like-your-own-post’ fix and was hugely amused to get a WP e-mail telling me that ‘I’m so vain’…

    Does anyone know, does this fix affect your ‘like’ stats? Or does ‘unliking’ it again remove the ‘like’ from the stats?

  • Unknown's avatar

    Just click on it again to remove it. I doubt very much that it has any effect on anything, other than generating that message.

    new adventure.. we now have the likes but no icon to show who liked the post. just this.. “10 people like this” – so now we cannot go to new bloggers and see what they are posting.. I think this is worse.

    I’ve been having the same problems for some time now.
    Other times notifications are stuck, showing the same person liking my posts every time another presses the like button. Sometimes the counter is stuck, sometimes the counter shows different number than the actual gravatars. Now, the counter says 20 people like this, but there are no gravatars…

    my blog is: pellymade.wordpress.com

    @eve
    Just wait. It’ll change.

  • Unknown's avatar

    Just as an update to the tech team, my issue seems to have gotten worse in the last 2 days.

    My initial issue was that I would receive notifications about likes without them showing on the post. Now I don’t receive any ‘likes’ notifications other than by email (i.e.: the ‘notifications’ button at the top right of my blog is now no longer showing likes, although it shows all other notifications).

    I know that I’m getting likes because I receive the emails, but they do not come up at all on my blog and they do not come up at all in the notifications button.

    I’m not sure if you changed something that might have created this, but thought it may help to know.

    My blog is http://www.theimperfectkitchen.net

    And for me, this-morning I’ve frequently found (nearly always) that blogs I’m following do not offer me “comment on this post?”.
