Unfollow blogs from my Reader
-
Although I have turned off emails from the blogs which I was following by default after making the WordPress account, I am still getting the posts from these blogs in my Reader. I don’t want them and there is no way I can do that, currently. Yes, I have read all the pages on this. The ‘Manage’ button in the Followed Sites of my reader only lets me change the email subscription settings of these blogs, whereas if I visit these sites, there is no button which allows me to unfollow them (the ‘Follow’ button has been turned off by them so that option is gone). Ridiculous!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

How to Unfollow a blog if you’re a WordPress.com user

As mentioned in my initial post, the options do not help: the “Manage” button in the Reader (https://wordpress.com/following/edit) lists the blogs, but from there I can change only the email subscription option, and if I visit the respective websites (https://en.support.wordpress.com/following/#how-to-unfollow-a-blog-if-youre-a-wordpress-com-user), then such a green “Following” button does not appear either, since these sites have put off this option from their Reader).

I don’t have those issues. I am on a PC running windows 10 and FF 51.

Okay, the problem was not with my OS or machine, it was with my current browser. I tried some other browser, there I can see a button to “unfollow” at the right of each blog when I open the Manage button in my Reader. I also got the option from the same browser, in another machine. Clearing the cache and cookies on mine didn’t help.
I have made the changes, thank you very much!! Now I have to understand what is wrong with this browser…
