“Sorry, there was a problem following (URL). Please try again.”

    Hello,

    For the past month or so I’ve been having issues following other blogs. I would typically follow them through the follow button on their website or through the notifications tab, but then the button would revert from ‘Following’ to ‘Follow+’ When I would try to add blogs manually through the Manage Subscriptions section, I’d get the error “Sorry, there was a problem following (URL). Please try again.” I thought this might be a temporary issue with the system, but it’s been going on for quite a while now.

    Is there a way to clear up this error either on my end or the system’s?

    Thank you.

    The blog I need help with is kurokochi.wordpress.com

    Hi there!

    Can you let us know what blogs you’re having trouble subscribing to so we can take a closer look? Also, what operating system and browser are you using? Once we have that information, we’ll be happy to take a closer look.

    Thanks!

    Hi wodpress!

    My blog is a web novel translation link aggregator, so I need to follow a lot of other translation blogs, but currently I can’t follow any more blogs, maybe my blog is listed spam item?

    I have tried it with both cell phone and laptop, please support me, thanks.

    P/S: I am Vietnamese, and I write these lines in google translate, I’m not sure if you can understand what I mean *sad*

  • Hi there!

    We can understand your messages perfectly :)

    Indeed the subscriptions for your account were disabled. This can happen when our system notices lots of follows in a short time.
    I have unblocked this feature, but bear in mind that it might happen again if you follow many blogs in a short period of time.
