Not receiving email notifications from blogs I follow
-
When a blog I follow posts a new blog, I am no longer notified by email. I’ve checked my settings and my spam folder (nothing there) and can’t figure what’s wrong. Please help! (email visible only to moderators and staff) Thanks!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hello ellenshriner,
Were you receiving post-follow notifications earlier? Since when did the notifications stop? Also, when you say you’re following ‘posts’, did you subscribe to the comments of the individual post(s), or were you following the blog as such?
Also, when you checked settings, did you check the discussions settings page too?
You might want to check these links for assistance… I think they should help.
On following WordPress.com blogs:

Cheers!

Hi @ellenshriner,
Could you provide an example of a site you’re currently subscribed to but have failed to receive a notification for recently?
-
Thanks for responding so quickly! You asked for examples. for more than a month, I haven’t been getting email notifications from AlyshaKaye, Chrisbykate, and my own blog, WordSisters. Since it’s a shared blog, I like knowing when my co-blogger’s posts go live. Also I like seeing what my own posts look like to my subscribers.
I fiddled with settings last night and today I received Eliza Waters blog, another one I hadn’t seen join a while.
Everything was showing up in my reader, but no emails.

Hi!
It looks like recently you may have changed your subscription setting for “Block all emails from WordPress.com.” Previously, it looks like this option was checked, which would block all subscription notifications. Now, the option is unchecked. Do you remember making that change? Can you let me know if you’re notified of new blog posts in the upcoming days?
-
Thank you so much! I was fiddling with the settings a day ago and must have changed that (unblocking emails). I don’t recall blocking them in the first place, but I must have.
I’ll give it a few days and let you know what I find out.
