  Hi, I am having trouble with the follow me widget. It only shows the reader how many followers I have, but there isn’t a button or a box to allow them to enter their email and click follow.

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

  If you’d like to allow folks to also follow your blog via email then you need to add this widget.

  I don’t see the widget my colleague mentioned on your page.

  Would you please add it as mentioned so we can investigate the issue?

  Hi there,

  You don’t see a box to enter your email address because you are logged into WordPress.com. If anyone logged into WordPress.com clicks that button, they will be subscribed using the email address they gave for their WordPress.com account.

  Only people not logged into WordPress.com at all will see a box to add their email address. That is how this widget works.

  oooo i see! Thankyou Kokkieh.

  I was getting confused because when you make changes to the blog, you can instantly see it on the customizer.

  Thankyou guys for all your help!
