Reader not woking properly

  • Unknown's avatar

    The reader only shows a few posts then it repeats. This is new, never happened before. I used Safari and Firefox with the same result.

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

  • Hi there,

    I took a look at your Reader and didn’t see anything out of the ordinary. I saw at least 10-15 different posts as I scrolled your Reader. Are you still see the repetition on your end?

    Thanks for looking. I usually go through all from the day before, but now it does about the 10-15 or so and repeats. Still happening. I restarted WordPress with the same result.

  • Okay, I see what you mean. I checked your feed in our system and did not see any duplicate posts. It looks like the page jumps and glitches as you scroll. What I will do is refresh the feed on our end, and let me know if that helps.

    Let me know, thanks!

    Thanks for trying that, but it’s still glitching out and repeating.

  • I think I’ve narrowed down “Twitchy” as the problem.

    Is there any improvement if you unfollow it under https://wordpress.com/following/manage ?

    I unfollowed Twitchy but it’s still happening.

  • Please also clear your browser cache – your browser could still have the state the Reader was in while you were still following that site stored in its cache, causing it to just load it from there. Clearing the cache will force your browser to re-fetch information from our servers.

    It might also be a good idea to log out of your account and back in.

    I’ve done all you’ve suggested in both Firefox and Safari, and restarted computer. Problem still persists.

  • To clarify, you also cleared the cache following these steps?

    Solve Common Browser Issues

    Yes I did both browsers a couple of times, shut computer off and started again. Also as I go down the reader now, it repeats a few times, then it seems to go a little further, repeats at that point a few times again. Hope I’m getting everything, certain people I really want tp keep up with, but I don’t know if it’s missing things, since it seems unusually short yesterday and today.

  • Argh, this is odd and interesting.

    It’s not your browser, I can see the problem too.

    It has to be one of the sites you’re following, right when it resets, that’s the Reader essentially crashing, so it’s that post right there. Of course, we can’t see it.

    Do you recall when this started?

    Thanks for looking. It started yesterday when I checked the reader right after noontime. One person said it was Twitchy so I unfollowed it but it’s still happening.

  • Ok, you haven’t followed any new sites around that time, so it would have to be a site that posted around that time.

    I’d recommend trying to unfollow sites in order of frequency, and you can rule-out anything that hasn’t posted in the last 3 days.

    Once of those has to be the problem. When it’s narrowed down, we can dig into what’s causing it.

    Okay. I’ll start that and let you know. Thanks for your help.
