Can’t subscribe to blogs due to pending subscriptions

I tried to subscribe to a wordpress blog but it did not allow me to due to “pending subscriptions”. Following the link to https://wordpress.com/subscriptions/pending I find that the tab highlights 9 pending subscriptions but the actual page is blank and I do not have any way of deleting or clearing pending subscriptions. I want to note I do not remember subscribing to any blogs in the past so I do not know what those 9 are, nor are there any confirmation emails concerning subscriptions in my mail.

Hi there,

What is the URL site that you are trying to subscribe to? If you have attempted to subscribe to the site in the past and tried to again, you won’t receive any additional email notifications about it. So, I would check to see if you can find an earlier email in your inbox with a link to that subscription.

If you don’t find anything, let us know the site URL, and we’ll be happy to look into this for you. Thanks!

I was trying to subscribe to https://jaysbrickblog.com/list-of-lego-sets-2023/. Looking through my email I could not find any prior links to subscribe

I see that you are now under a different account than when you initially created this thread. From which account were you trying to subscribe to https://jaysbrickblog.com/list-of-lego-sets-2023/? comixsinc or alexanderhyperbeam ?

The comixsinc one. I was able to successfully subscribe on the Alexanderhyperbeam one. Could the reason I couldn’t subscribe before be due to having two accounts logged in at the same time?

That very could be possible, particularly if you were trying to subscribe to the site while under Alexanderhyperbeam which is already subscribed to the account. I would log completely out of your Alexanderhyperbeam account, and make sure you are logged in while under comixsinc , and attempt to subscribe. Let me know whether that works, and we can go from there.

Thanks!

Didn’t seem to work. I even tried on a seperate computer. The pending tab in my comixsinc subscriptions is still blank despite the number saying I have 9 pending.

Hey there,

To check, are you also seeing this:

Do you have a link to these 9 subscriptions if you made them? I get the sense we need to retrace some steps here.

Hi there, @comixsinc and @alexanderhyperbeam!

I believe I was able to clear out those pending subscriptions for you. Can you please check out the following link and let me know what you see?

View pending subscriptions here: https://wordpress.com/subscriptions/pending

Please try following a blog and let me know how that goes! I will be standing by.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Thanks! That seems to have fixed it
