  As I try to follow blogs, I get a red banner from WordPress telling me that I am unable to do so. Right now, I am only following 5 blogs, including my own, and I would like to have this fixed (I am required to follow classmates for a college course). I have tried following on the app, my personal computer, and on a campus desktop. I have even tried following people on different browsers, but still not allowed to follow anyone else.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  @ecomonroe can you tell us what the banner says? Just copy and paste the error here.

  “Sorry, there was a problem following http://simplyeasybeautifulblog.wordpress.com. Please try again.”

  This is the message that pops up, specific to this blog that I tried to follow.

  @ecomonroe thanks, and is that happening on all blogs or just this one?

  @ecomonroe do we have permission to log in as you and do some testing? We would be following a couple of blogs on your behalf, then would undo those follows when we’re done.

  @cmwmkw it sounds like your issue is different from the one @ecomonroe had. Can you start your own thread at http://en.support.wordpress.com so we can help you there? That way @ecomonroe won’t have to get notifications of all of our chatter on her unrelated thread.

  I’ll go ahead and close this thread for now.
