  Why does WordPress have a “follow”/ “following” toggle switch at My Followers if it doesn’t work? That is, if you toggle from “follow” to “following” on one of the blogs or websites listed at My Followers, the change doesn’t hold and you don’t become a follower of the site. Apparently, you have to go to Blogs I Follow to add any chosen site there.

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

  I’ve just tested the toggle on your site and it stuck for me. Do you have an example where this isn’t working for you?

  Thanks,

  It will change from “follow” to “following”, but no link is created at Reader > Blogs I Follow. Also, if you leave the page, My Followers, and return to it, the change doesn’t hold. Have you tried that?

  You can confirm the malfunction described above on any of my WordPress followers which I am presently not following.

  Thanks for the report, this looks like a bug to me, and I will make sure it’s reported to the devs for a fix.
