Same problem for me at artmoscow.wordpress.com.
The counter’s been dead for some time today after a rather inaccurate update yesterday. I went to the Follows page in the “stat department. There is a total of 136 pages with 20 followers on each, When someone new comes in, someone goes off from the last page, like newcomers push out oldtimers. Perhaps there’s a limit on the number of pages? I don’t know… -
I am having the follower count problem too. It seems that older followers drop off to make way for the new followers. The total number of pages of followers hasn’t changed so each time I get a new follower the oldest follower on the last page just disappears.
Seems others are having this problem too. Maybe a hang-over of the issue a few days agao where all followers disappeared for many people???
And I’ve checked thhis out from 3 different devices with cache and cookies cleared (and one device never used before) and the problem is still there!!

I had the follower count problem yesterday…It got resolved after some time but is back again today….It seems the count is stuck on a number…For example I had 74 followers yesterday and when I got two new followers today it is still showing 74…Probably it will be OK after some time and the count will reach 76 but then it will become static again even when I will get more followers…I have cleared by browser cache and cookies..No change…..
Can anybody help….. -
Alarmingly I have noticed that 2 of the followers that have been pushed off my last page by new followers have re-followed, ie, appeared as new followers. I hope their following wasn’t removed and they’ve clicked follow again. I have had about 50 new followers over the last 2 or 3 days!! I’d hate to have lost 50 old timers. :(

So does anybody know how to find out from WP? I did a search in the help section but didn’t see any new information on this. Do they monitor these forums? Not sure what to do…

It seems to be resolved for me now so thank you to whoever sorted it out. And I really don’t think this was a browser issue. I woke up this morning and on all devices I tried the count was as it should be and my old followers were returned to my last pages.

Hi,
I’m using Google Chrome Version 29.0.1547.65 (up to date) on a Mac. I connect using Verizon Phios. I also tried to view my followers in Safari. I somehow lost 13 of them on Thursday. What else should I do? Is this forum the best way to contact support? -
@findingninee

Blog stats should be back to normal for everyone at this point. Please post here if you are still seeing weirdness.

Same here, there’s still a problem. Although I have the people back on my last pages my tally hasn’t moved up much despite quite a few joining. Total number of followers does not equal the amount of people on my follower pages.
-
Yup, I’m still having an issue as well. Getting email notifications that new folks are following, but the number of followers on my stats page doesn’t change.

Please note that while you receive notifications when someone follows your site, but not when someone unfollows. So you may have lost a couple followers as well as gained new ones. The counter will also have a delay between when someone adds your site and when it shows up in your stats. That is normal.

Hi, my counter has been not moving for a day, but when I count manually there are 2793 followers, but it shows 2782
