Recommendations are based on the content in posts that other wordpress.COM bloggers are publishing.
Can you access this page https://wordpress.com/recommendations?
Can you access thee tags pages below?
https://wordpress.com/tags/catholic
https://wordpress.com/tags/vatican
https://wordpress.com/tags/jesuits

Then it would appear that there are no Staff recommendations for you as no one else is publishing on the same topics.

Today I have the same problem. No recommendations at all. I can’t access the first of your pages, It takes me to Search instead.
I have also another problem that I posted a few weeks ago. I can’t click on my followers blog addresses when I go to Insights. Only the first ten of them, but when I want to see all of them, it is impossible to click and come to their blogs.

Hi folks, the search page at https://wordpress.com/read/search should still show recommendations. I’m seeing some for each of your accounts. If you aren’t, can you get a screenshot of what you do see there? You can upload it at wordpress.com/media, then send us the link.

But search page is one thing and recommendations another. The list of recommendations has disappeared, all the blogs that I went in there to find. When I click on recommendations the search page appears and that’s not what I wanted.

OK, when I go to /recommendations I’m brought to the search page, but I still see lists of recommended sites there (as well as some tags) if I have not searched for anything.
If you are not seeing that, let me do a bit of digging and see what we can find.
-
Yes, I can see some blogs if I search with tags. But that is not the same as it was before with lots of blogs without using any tags.

OK. I found out the old recommendations page was retired quite some time ago, replaced by a few different recommendation areas:
– You’ll see tag recommendations on the main page
– You should be able to see several post recommendations on the search page, with or without typing anything into the search box
– You can find site recommendations at https://wordpress.com/following/manage
I hope that helps! If it does not and you prefer the old feature, I’d be happy to pass along any specific feedback you’ve got: let us know what you found more helpful about the old setup and what your goals are, etc. I can’t promise change, but we really do take specific feedback into account as we move forward. Thanks!

Oh, and I did find you need to be following at least a few things before we can make recommendations at https://wordpress.com/following/manage . Hope that helps.

The recommendation page disappeared just a few days ago, that’s why I asked for help in the forum, and I found this post opened by misterrnobodyatall with the same problem. I don’t understand why there should be something called recommendations if it leads you to the search page. But I’ll give it a try to see if that gives the same result as before, otherwise I’ll be back here. Thank you.
But there is another problem:
“I have also another problem that I posted a few weeks ago. I can’t click on my followers blog addresses when I go to Insights. Only the first ten of them, but when I want to see all of them, it is impossible to click and come to their blogs.” -
Just noting we’ll work on the other issue in a separate thread:
https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/followers-unable-to-click-on?replies=5#post-2956836Were you able to see the recommendations now?
Also, can I ask where you are clicking a link to this other recommendations page you’ve mentioned?

Hi there @misterrnobodyatall and @abjag,
I’m an engineer here at WordPress.com, and may be able to help you find what you’re looking for.
The recommendations can be found on the search page:
https://wordpress.com/read/search.
Below the search bar, you will see posts that we have recommended. These recommendations are the same ones that existed on the old recommendations page. We removed the recommendations page because we put the recommendations on the search page.
Here is a picture of the recommendations I see on the search page!
Yours will be different. :)
If you do not see any recommendations on the search page, please take a screenshot and let us know.
Thanks!

Yes, I noticed that, I’m sorry I wrote it in this thread.
No, I am very confused. I don’t know how to do. It is not at all the same as before. The thing is that I don’t want to follow any blogs, I used to choose them from the recommendation page and from the tag list I had made on the reader. Now I don’t know how I should find the blogs I used to visit, when the recommendation list has disappeared and when the followers addresses are impossible to click at.
I found it In the reader, there are five options: Following, Discover, Search,
Recommendations and Likes. Now the R leads to the search page.
