Reblog Button Not Working

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hi! The reblog button has not worked for about two months now; when I want to share a post, I use the ‘press this’ widget, but that doesn’t create the pingback link for the original poster. Can you help with this? Thanks.

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

  • Hi there, it sounds like we’ve got a few different issues:

    The reblog button has not worked for about two months now

    What’s happening when you try to use it? Also can you clarify whether you’re reblogging through the reader, or from a specific site? Can you send a URL?

    but that doesn’t create the pingback link for the original poster.

    Can you share more abut that? Site owners can have pingbacks disabled, or they can delete a pingback that comes through. Is a particular site owner saying they aren’t getting the pingback? And if so can they join the thread with more info?

    What’s happening when I try to use the reblog button? Nothing. It literally does not open the window to make the reblog. I am logged in and going through the reader. I can use the “Press This” widget, but not the reblog button.

    Because the reblog is not happening, there are no other site owners to ask about the pingback link. I hope this clarifies.

    Okay. Cleared the cache and cookies, which didn’t work.

    However, Firefox had an update to 67.0 that hadn’t been applied yet, and now the button works. Thank you.
