Reader shows another similar blog instead of mine when…

  • Unknown's avatar

    Reader shows another similar blog instead of mine when i click on the name of my blog in one of my posts in the “Blogs i follow” section. My blog has this ID 47371960/
    but when you click on the name in one of my posts while in “Blogs i follow” section this appears: https://wordpress.com/read/blog/id/55155778/
    Is there a way to fix that? I want to restore that because i want to make my blog to appear on reader tags. It is a greek blog by the way.

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

    At https://wordpress.com/following/edit/, click the “x” to unfollow the Word Avenue blog with the wrong ID, which is wordavenue.wordpress.com. That should remove it. Then add your blog, which has a different URL (http://wordavenue.com) and should not be confused with the other.

    It is still doing the same thing! Problem is not fixed. While i am on “Blog i follow” feed, i see many recent posts about many blogs. But if i click the name in one of mine, it reffers me to the wrong blog. But if am on the page you gave me in order to edit the link, the problem dissapears. It reffers me where it should.

    Sorry that you’re having such unexpected and undesirable results. I’ve flagged this thread for Staff attention.

    So is the Reader not working properly right now? Because I am having issues with it myself not being able to add blogs to it.

    @resourceeconomy93,

    …when you click on the name in one of my posts while in “Blogs i follow” section this appears: https://wordpress.com/read/blog/id/55155778/

    I understand how the wrong website may have gotten into your Blogs I Follow list, but not how your posts are connected to it. Someone might have added the wrong URL to your Blogs I Follow. wordavenue.wordpress.com has the same title as your website, different URL.

    If removing wordavenue.wordpress.com from Blogs I Follow by clicking on the “x” beside it, as I suggested above, didn’t resolve the issue after updating, and perhaps clearing your browser, then I don’t have any other ideas at the moment.

    Staff has been called to the rescue, but it’s the eve of a big holiday. I won’t make any more comments until Staff picks it up, because that will just result in delay. Cheers.

    Hi there, resourceconomy93! I’m sorry for the trouble with the Reader. I see the issue that you’re talking about — I can follow your blog and see your blog’s posts in my Reader, but when I click on the blog’s name I am taken to the wrong page here:

    https://wordpress.com/read/blog/id/55155778/

    It looks like something is getting mixed up in the Reader here, and I’m checking with our team to see if we can sort that out for you. I’ll let you know as soon as I get an update about that!

    Yes exactly. Alright, thanks a lot!

    Hi there! Our team looked into this, and now when I click on your blog’s name I’m taken to the correct page in the Reader for your blog. Are you still having any trouble with it, or is everything working correctly for you now?
