'Like' is not working
-
I have had 3 friends ‘like’ my posts today and i have had no orange notifications and there are no ‘likes’ showing on the posts either. Is this a problem with the ‘like’ in general?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
-
I believe there could be a caching issue and advise that you simply wait for awhile and see if the “likes” from other WordPress.com users appear (you will see theie gavatars below the posts they liked right above the comment box).
-
OK thank you, will do, but my friends liked newer posts today too and nothing shows, not in the likes nor in the notifications, and also same thing for yesterday. I usually get likes from my followers too, aswell as random people so it’s odd that nothing is showing.
-
Please post the URLs of the posts that you are sure the like buttons have been clicked on but no gravatar is appearing below the like button on.
-
This is just one url as i didn’t know if i should post them all, and can i also say, the posts my friends liked yesterday have lost the likes too. This is one from today that was liked by 3 that i know of but nothing shows http://overbyhere.wordpress.com/2012/04/17/cherry-blossom-trees/

Yeah, I notice that in the WordPress.com “Reader” the blogs that I click on “Like” does not stay blue when I refresh it. If I click on the actual blog post, it does not show my gravatar even though I clearly clicked the like button. The only way that the like is working is by navigating to the actual url post and liking it on the blog, but on WP it does not work. I have clicked on multiple post in the “Reader” and the same failed result. Here is a post in Reader that I have liked and it does not show liked: http://reesephoto.me/2012/04/17/candy-hearts-in-bloom/

Same issue here. I also now get a little box after I click like that tells me where I can see my liked posts. I think the issue started at the same time.

I see 5 likes and gravatars on that post you linked to above. If you do not see them please and as you are having trouble clicking buttons please try some troubleshooting. These are the troubleshooting steps we take whenever any issues like this arise:
clearing your browser cache and cookies > http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=32050
using the browser with all extensions or add-ons disabled
updating the browser to the latest stable version (not a buggy BETA browser version) http://browsehappy.com/
confirming third party cookies is enabled http://support.google.com/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=61416
confirming JavaScript is enabled http://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?answer=12654
confirming Flash is updated http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ and if required installing the latest version of Flash http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/
resetting your router and modem and rebooting your computer
then logging in using the secure https:// log-in see http://en.support.wordpress.com/https/
trying another browserIf those do not work we need to know
(1) How are you connecting to the internet and to WordPress.com? The way you connect to the internet (mobile, satellite, DSL, dial-up) and to your blog, and how many proxy server jumps etc. it takes to connect can cause problems. There maybe be problems with your ISP and/or with the proxy servers.
(2) Exactly which browser and version of it are you using. If you don’t know click here to find out > http://whatsmyuseragent.com/ -
Well I’m still waiting for help, and just to add, my friends have tried again and again tonight to like my posts and nothing is showing and no notifications.

I think this issue may be connected with moving our stats and other blog pages to the main WordPress.com blog page, but I could be wrong. Staff will respond to this thread as soon as they can. -

I had the same problem as well, but I just updated the Java on my Macbook. I’m not sure if it has anything to do with it, but everything seems to be working fine now. If this really is the solution, you’re all gonna ‘like’ one of my blogposts, aren’t you?
-
Mine is working this morning, so far! Two of my friends liked my posts again and this time i got the notifications and their Grav is now showing in the likes.
-
Yes, nevermind my advice. Two minutes later I seem to encounter the exact same problem as before.

@timethief Nothing has changed on my end. It worked before, but doesn’t work now.
I was using Google Chrome when it was working on “Reader”, and I’m using Google Chrome now that it isn’t working. Version: 18.0.1025.162 m
ISP is through school district. I’m not sure of exact type, but it very fast. Speedtest.net right now shows 39 mbs download and 94 mbs upload. Not sure of how many proxy servers.
As far as the post ( http://reesephoto.me/2012/04/17/candy-hearts-in-bloom/ )that has gravatars, mine is not listed, even though I clearly liked the post through the “Reader”. Do you see my gravatar? I see 7 listed on the blog now, whereas yesterday it was only 5 people liked it. That tells me it’s not a caching issue since the number of likes has increased. If I want a post to be liked, I have to go to the actual post url and like it on the blog. However, liking on the “Reader” does not work. I have tested this many times yesterday and today. I will try it at my home on a mac and see if it works there.
Curious, are you able to “Like” a new post on the “Reader” and then navigate to that post url and see that it has been liked by you?
What other info. would I need to provide for support to be better informed about this problem?

@TimeThief
I am using a PC with Windows XP Professional. Do you know of any issues lately with that OS and the “Like” function in “Reader” for WP? -
