No Likes appearing

  • Unknown's avatar

    I wrote some days ago with the same problem “No likes showing under my posts” but after a couple of hours, like nothing ever happened, hey presto.. the likes were back.
    NOW, the issue has appeared yet again. GRRRR…
    Hello? Computer geniuses and hackers and such.. PUH-LEASE help us sorry folk! :(

    Yes – even though I briefly looked like a narcissist – I attempted to ‘like’ my own post and miraculously all the missing likes from fellow bloggers appeared.

    (Thankfully, I have rapidly unliked my post).

    WordPress developers – do you need a hand hunting for this needle in a haystack ‘likes issue’? Tell us what to look for and I am sure a good few of us will have a go at trying to find it …….

    I too have found the like –> unlike –> refresh combination to work. I am also still a bit confused by the lack of progress and communication over what seems like a long amount of time. But, oh well…there seems to be nothing to do but wait and help each other out with these little tips at this point. Onward!

    I do appreciate the community support (mostly) even if the tech support seems a bit thin at the moment.

    Yes – the community support is wonderful. I’m still amazed that doing that simple thing enabled the other likes to appear. I shall attempt to spread the word via my blog. One does wonder why it should take such a long time to solve such a conundrum.

    My offer still stands to the WP developers. Surely the problem could be solved with a little help from some friends ;-)

    The like unlike scenario is not lasting however. Noting seems to last for long…a few hours, overnight and it all reverts back to (for me): ‘be the first to like this post’ (quite a few already have but are invisible) or four likes are shown but (behind the scenes 27 have) or well it changes daily and has for the past month or so. Not sure why it bothers me….guess I became enamored with who was visiting amongst peers.

    Rare communication, of late, over this whether forum or support.

    Sigh!

    Jan 28th 2013: So I guess I’m not the first to have this problem – but it just happened to me overnight – I got up this morning and half of my “like gravatars” are gone and there is a scrolling bar in their place…
    and same as a lot of people, I get notifications of new subscribers and likes in my email but they aren’t showing up on my home page – am I losing readers?
    How do we fix this – or better yet, how does WordPress fix this?

  • Hello all. Thank you for your patience.

    We believe that we’ve finally tracked down the problem and the amazing programmer elves have squashed the bug.

    Please let me know what you experience as far as the disappearing/reappearing likes over the next 24 hours.

    Good GRIEF! – wunderbar!!!
    I hope the bug was squashed into so many bits that there’s no chance of their ever coming back together again. Like … [thinks] … naah, all I know is that it’s a sea creature of some kind. No matter.
    Thank you, rootjosh – the best news for a loong time.
    I shall certainly let this thread know if the problem recurs.

  • I’m encouraged by the lack of “this is broken” posts. But I would feel better if I saw some “everything is okay!” posts.

  • Unknown's avatar

    So far, so good – thanks. Thought I’d give it a few more hours before reporting back… :)

    Hi Rootjosh:
    sorry to say my posts are back to broken – please let me know how to reboot them or fix them or what…

  • Unknown's avatar

    It usually happens when a new post goes up, and I haven’t posted a new one yet. Will let you know when I do. Thanks, Josh.

  • Unknown's avatar

    I’m sorry to say that the problem is not fixed for me, either. I see the total number of likes, but the gravatars of all the people who like the post don’t show up. Some do show up (one out of every 5 or 6 people), but others never do.

    on my blog, Sathyasaimemories, (as of today) I am not even receiving emails to say the post was liked. We thought the post might not be visible,but when my husband “liked” the post, then two more “Likes” showed up on the post, but then disappeared again.. So for me it is worse than before..

    thanks for trying..

    On my other blog, Camera Catches, the likes are appearing in emails and on the post.. So here are two different stories on the continuing journey of the word press Likes. A saga in the making, i guess.

  • Unknown's avatar

    Just posted a new blog. So far, I have 4 email notifications on ‘likes’ and all 4 of them have shown up on the post. I’ll keep an eye and let you know if it changes.

  • Unknown's avatar

    Un;ess your design people have suddenly decided to change things, I’ve a new wrinkle for you:
    finding a new comment in my Inbox, I clicked on the email and was taken to a box looking EXACTLY like the boxes that tell me of a new follower! I clicked through that and wrote a response. Next thing, my own response turned up in my Inbox, once again in the form of a ‘follow’ message!
    OTY.

  • Unknown's avatar

    I’ll try and post something new and see if anything changes.. Up to now nothing has happened :(

  • Unknown's avatar

    Well, I’m still getting all my likes to show up, but somehow now I’m receiving email notifications of my responses to comments. This wasn’t happening before. Is this something new, and if so, is there a way to block notifications of my own comment responses?
