  Hi

  I was suddenly not able to follow blogs anymore… (I was trying to follow 100+ blogs in a day)

  Googled and realized that there is a WordPress Follow Limit and i have triggered some kind of block meant for preventing spamming.

  My bad. Can you help me out here, please

  —

  Some context would help, i hope

  We were trying to create a system of Learning Portfolios for Medical Graduates using the WordPress platform – and it seems to be coming up well, actually.

  The thing is, i *need* to follow about 150 grads (the batch strength per year).

  Would be great if you can advise me on how i can do this without triggering the follow-ban… Like, 50 follows/day would be allowed? 100/day?

  I need to do such a follow-fest only once a year (when graduates start their blogs at the start of the academic year)

  Your help would me most appreciated.

  Hello there,

  Many thanks for reaching out.

  Is there a site in particular you’re looking to follow so that I can test the ability to follow please?

  To help minimise any triggers, you may wish to consider building the followers over the course of a number of days, in smaller batches.

  I hope this helps thus far.

  Hi there

  Sorry, i kind of lost this thread … lol. Found it again now.

  Good to hear from you guys

  Here is one of the sites i was not able to follow earlier –

  I am not sure if you already reversed something there – but i am able to follow now!! Thanks either way

  Will surely take the advise regarding following in smaller number over a period.

  Thanks again
