  I imported my Google Reader RSS feeds using the “Import your Google Reader subscriptions directly” link. It didn’t work the way I wanted, but I am unable to unsubscribe from those feeds in my WordPress Reader. How do I unsubscribe from these RSS feeds?

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

  Click the “x” next to the URLs found on this page http://wordpress.com/#!/read/edit/

  I would be thrilled to click the “x” next to the URLs…unfortunately they’re not there. This should be a screenshot: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-lINZsH-qkOo/UapmhvqStgI/AAAAAAAAJPw/J2EocP-rt9o/w958-h599-no/WordpressReaderNoX.JPG

  It looks the same in Firefox and Chrome. There are a few URLs that spill over to the right side of the screen. I wonder if they have pushed the “x”s off the right side of the screen. If that’s so, I really have no way of unsubscribing.

  I’m using Firefox 21 and I have the “x” displaying on the page I linked to. I’ll tag this thread for Staff assistance. Please subscribe to the thread so you are notified when they respond and please be patient while waiting.

  I just tried Internet Explorer just for fun and it looks the same there too. I had “x”s displaying before I imported my feeds from Google Reader.

  Thanks for tagging my post!

  As you tried IE you must have been desperate. ;)
  You’re welcome.

  @scottpantall – I was able to login and see the same thing you’re seeing: the x to remove a feed isn’t available. It might have something to do with those long URLs, but I’m not 100% sure about that so I’m going to have one of our developers take a look and see what is causing this.

  I’ll get back to you once I have more information.

  In the meantime, let me know if you have any questions.

  Thanks!

  Hello again!

  We’ve added a fix to the site – can you try to delete some of your feeds again? It should be working for you now.

  Let me know if you still have trouble!

  @timethief – Yes IE was a desperation move. Haha.

  helper-heroponriki – You have lived up to your title of Happiness Engineer (Shouldn’t that title be at a Disney park?). It’s fixed! You win! I am happy. Thanks for your help!

  Do you know if there are any plans to add functionality to the WordPress Reader such as categories or the ability to sort and share posts?

  Thanks a ton!

  You’re welcome! Glad I could help. :)

  The Reader continues to evolve, so we value your input. If there’s a specific feature you feel strongly about, I’d recommend you add it as a topic to our Ideas forum and hopefully other members of the community will feel the same way.
