Sudden drop of 200 followers overnight
-
Dear good people,
When I went to sleep last night I had 1,030 followers of Learning from Dogs. Another person signed up during the night, technically taking the figure to 1,031.
Yet, at 05:30 (PDT) when I awoke and looked at my blog the number of followers had dropped to 834.
Of, course 200-odd people could have decided enough was enough! ;-) but I suspect something else.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks all,
Paul H.

Did you disconnect the Publicize app?

The followers total you see here https://wordpress.com/my-stats/?blog_subscribers includes Publicize -
TTTS, thanks for the prompt reply.
I haven’t changed any settings although will check them in the next few minutes. The followers total from your link reads 732. My home page, viz: http://learningfromdogs.com is still showing 834.
I feel a headache coming on! ;-)

Now just checked my settings-sharing page and for all three connections, ergo Facebook, Twitter and Google+ it is reporting “This connection may not be working correctly.” I will reset them all and see what that does.

I’ll tag this thread for a Staff follow-up. Please subscribe to the thread so you are notified when they respond and please be patient while waiting.

Big thanks and, yes, already subscribed. I have tried resetting the connections to Linked-In and Twitter but it is not removing the ‘not working’ error message.

Well whatever you guys did, you fixed it! This morning at 5am (PDT) the number of followers to Learning from Dogs was back up to 1,031!
Well done, the team.
Going to close the ticket; assuming I can from this end.

I had to log in under my other username account to remove the modlook tag. Best wishes with your blog.

What is the ‘modlook’ tag? Was that something I inadvertently changed at my end? Appreciate your kind wishes.

It’s the tag that alerts Staff to provide support in the thread that’s tagged with it. Not to worry as I removed it now.
