Why can't I like some posts?
-
Hello team,
I’m having a problem ‘liking’ some great posts on wordpress blogs. When I press the like button, a window pops up briefly (presumably checking to ensure I’m logged in) but the post doesn’t register my ‘like’. This has happened on two different blogs. I recently upgraded to Firefox as a browser, but I don’t think this is the problem as I can still ‘like’ other sites.
Incidentally, one of the sites I can’t ‘like’ is one that I follow. That is, I can like posts in ‘reader’ mode, but not from the screen.
I have logged out and back in again to check that this wasn’t the problem.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
Yours,
AngelaThe blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi Angela,
Could you point me to the URL of a post that you’re trying to “Like” but having trouble?
-
Sure Jeremy. This is a blog I follow, which lets me ‘like’ in reader mode but not in ‘post’ mode:
And this blog I don’t follow but would periodically like to ‘like’ posts such as this one:

Thanks for any help you can provide,

Hi Angela,
Thanks for sending these over! I was able to “like” this post when logged in under your account in Chrome (since un-liked):
Since you’re only experiencing this issue intermittently, I wouldn’t think it’s a browser issue, but could you try Chrome or Safari just to be certain?

Thanks Jeremey. I was able to like both posts from Safari, so maybe it is a browser issue (which is a pain). I also note that the speech bubble option (top right hand corner of blog page when logged in) doesn’t really work in Firefox either. Oh well!
Thanks for your help.

Hi Angela,
At least now we know what we’re working with! Can you try resetting Firefox as described here?

Please note, this will reset all of the items here:
That’s a quick way to restore default settings and see if that fixes the issue.
