  Hi,
  I subscribe to a WordPress blog (om.co) in WordPress Reader but the posts from the site do not show up in the Reader. Any idea why not?
  Thanks,
  Nick

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

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

  Hi there, it looks like their feed ID may have updated recently, though I don’t have any way to see why.

  Are you able to follow this feed instead?

  Hi,
  No, I’m afraid that doesn’t work either.
  When I use that URL, Reader says it has subscribed to a WordPress site but actually neither the site appears in the list of Subscriptions nor its posts in the Reader stream.

  Hi Nick,

  Thanks for letting us know. That does seem a little weird! Here’s how the above-linked feed appears for me, for comparison:

  

  Could I ask you to try possibly either logging out and in again to WordPress.com, or potentially clearing your browser cache? If you need, we have guides for how to do that in various browsers here:

  Yeah, that is weird as it’s clearly working for you.
  I’ve already logged in and out and cleared my browser cache and still no luck.
  I don’t know if this is helpful but it doesn’t appear in Reader in the Wordress iOS app either so it wouldn’t seem to be a browser issue.

  Hi there,

  To clarify, is this an issue only with the Om Malik blog you are following? or do you have other sites you follow but are not showing in the Reader?

  Also, out of curiosity, you appear to be trying to access the Reader over your mobile device, yes? What if you were to log in to WordPress.com from your desktop computer and try there? Any difference now that you are on a different device? or the same issue?

  If you do spot the same issue, can you please share a link of the page you are on? Even if the page is blank, we’d like to know that URL so we can check it out and see if we have the same issue. Thanks!

  Yes, only the Om Malik blog. All the other blogs I follow (50) all work fine.

  I don’t have a desktop computer nor access to one 😕

  I use WordPress exclusively via the iOS app and sometimes mobile browser (Safari)

  Thanks for your continued efforts 🙏

  Really we’re just looking to see if something is amiss with your app, so could you try unsubscribing via the app, then viewing that link in your mobile browser and letting us know what you see? You should also be able to subscribe again via that link. Please confirm your findings.
