  Hi there,

  When you open https://katiereviewsbooks.wordpress.com/, can you see the “Follow” button on the bottom-right part? If you click it, you can follow the site definitely.

  If you have further questions, please come back here anytime. We are willing to assist you.

  Thanks :)

  Hi everyone,

  This problem has come up quite a lot recently. The following answers from @kokkieh may help you:

  Do you have any ad-blockers installed in your browsers? Anti-malware extensions can also sometimes be the cause. Also make sure JavaScript hasn’t been deactivated in the browser in general:

  Hope this helps.

  Hi,

  Thanks for responding. No, its not a problem with ad blockers or a java script issue .. I can see the follow button on other blogs its just that it has disappeared on my blog .. I have asked my readers to check this as well and they also confirm that they cannot see the follow button. I have tried every possible setting but nothing seems to help.

  Would really appreciate someone looking into this. My blog again is

  Hi there,

  @desirantsnraves

  We’ve made changes to the follow button a while ago that it won’t show any more on sites that don’t have any posts, but a few sites with posts were mistakenly affected. I’ve asked a developer to fix this for your site.

  @kashzka

  If this is on sites that have posts published, not just pages or portfolio projects, please reach out to the owners of those sites and ask them to contact us so we can fix it for them as well. They can just reply on this thread with a link to their site.

  @missdlarson

  The site you mention is showing the follow button for me, so it’s likely something in your browser that’s the problem. Is only the follow button missing, or the entire action bar? If the entire bar is missing, then it’s something like an ad-blocker or anti-malware extension blocking the JavaScript that makes it work, as staff-frank mentioned above.
