Notifications of new followers
-
I used to get an e-mail telling me when someone had newly subscribed to / become a follower of my blog. I haven’t received these for my recent new followers. I can’t find a setting that would enable those e-mails again. Can anyone help with this?

Thank you for answering so quickly. I did check the discussion settings, and “email me when someone follows” is (has always been) checked. I also looked at “what if the emails aren’t getting through,” and my only email address is listed correctly there.
I’ve also looked at that troubleshooting link you provided, but the only one of its suggestions that applies in my case is the junk mail one, and that’s not the problem.
I do get all the e-mails from WordPress about comments that people submit. I even got the email telling me you’d replied to my initial question.I hate to bother you further, but would you have any other ideas about how to solve my problem?

I’d done that before, and I’ve just done it again. There’s nothing in it. And I’ve never put any kind of block on my e-mail reception.
-
Please check http://wordpress.com/#!/read/subsettings/ to make sure that you haven’t blocked all emails from us.
-
I’ve also tried that — but I can’t get into it. The page opens and says “loading…” but it whirls and grinds away for 10 minutes or more and never opens.
Besides, as I said at the beginning, I do get several kinds of e-mails from WordPress without difficulty — new comments, notices of new posts on blogs I follow, and all these forum replies from you and Timethief. It’s just the follower notices that I’m not getting.
-
Oh, those notices, sorry. Would you please check which email address you have set at Settings -> General in your blog’s Dashboard? This is the one that receives Follower notifications.
-
Look: I appreciate your putting in the time to look at my queries, but you keep asking me to try things that I have already tried and said I had tried in my earlier messages here. Seems like you haven’t been reading what I’ve written. So, once again:
Nothing in spam.
No blocks on emails.
Only one email address.
Cannot get into the subsettings screen.Is there anything else that I can do? Or that you can do to fix this?
-
Which email client are you using please and which ISP (interent service provider) are you using?
-
I use Microsoft Outlook 2010, and the ISP is AT&T on a DSL connection.
BTW, my husband, whose blog is ubriaco.wordpress.com, is also not getting follower notifications any more. We both have the same DSL connection but he uses Outlook for Mac.
-
Ok, do you have a different mainstream email address that you could try, like a Gmail or Yahoo address?
Perhaps your ISP considers our emails spam is automatically deleting them (yes, this does happen).
-
As I said THREE TIMES BEFORE in this thread, I have only one email address, and all the other kinds of emails from WordPress come through without difficulty.
-
You have three blogs on your account. Would you please tell us exactly which on you’re referring to?
-
I’m referring to dianescookbooks.wordpress.com. But we’re having the same problem with my husband’s blog, which is also on my account — ubriaco.wordpress.com.

Just a related note: my new follower notification emails used to give me some identifying info about new followers. Now the notification message just says “someone new is following you.” (or something to that effect). So now I have to go into the stats dashboard and dig up the follower list if I’m interested in knowing who the new follower is.
