Why aren't the likes on other peoples' sites working?
-
when I click like on other peoples blogs the like is not always recorded. so I click “like” and it says “liked” but then if you refresh the page it goes back to saying “like” again. This happens around fifty percent of the time. Is there something I can do to fix it?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
I have tried to replicate this issue on my end, but the “like” seems to stay in place even after I refresh the page. I’ve pasted a screenshot here for reference even after I refreshed:
Have you tried to replicate this issue in another browser?
Best,

Thank you. I’ve had it happen on different computers but always google chrome so could that be why? It happens on and off – like I could be blogging for an hour with no problem and then it happens and the likes don’t stick. I have to give it a break and come back later.

Hi there,
I’m thinking this is a browser-related issue. When this happens next, could you try logging out of WordPress and logging back on to see if this fixes the issue? Please let me know if that works!
Cheers,
Jeremey

Thanks Jeremy. Logging out and logging back in didn’t make any difference. Sometimes it’s good for hours at a time (as it is this morning) and other times it just stops working. But I’ll just keep trying your suggestions when that happens, alternating between browsers etc, and hopefully that’ll help. I only asked you because I thought maybe it was something simple that could be corrected.
Thanks for your help anyway.

Hey Violet, I definitely want to get to the bottom of this as it shouldn’t be happening. The next time it happens, could you send over the link to the post you’re trying to “like”?

It happened again and I changed browser. I liked several posts, then I refreshed. Some of them stuck and some of them didn’t. On the following posts the likes disappeared:

And yet on these posts they stayed:

Can you make sure you’re using the latest version of Chrome? In your menu bar, click Chrome -> About. That should tell you whether or not you need to update your browser. Also, can you make sure you have third party cookies and javascript enabled? Instructions for both can be found here:

Thank you very much for all your help. I have followed all of your instructions, and I think the problem has improved. I find that I can successfully like posts for hours at a time. Sometimes the likes stop working, on and off, but generally it is working very well.
Thank you again.
Best wishes.
