WordPress Like button not loading
-
Hi,
It’s been over a month and I haven’t been able to press Like on any blog post that I follow. The WordPress Like button simply doesn’t load for me, and has disappeared from the top black band as well. I have been facing this problem all across the site, including my own blog. The Like button does not load for my own posts also. The other Facebook, Twitter etc buttons are working fine though.
Please help.. Thank you! :)

That is good to hear. Let me know if the issue pops up again. I’m hearing reports of it working and then weirding out again shortly thereafter.

Hello, my like button constantly loading all day for my blog and all the ones I visit (unable to like anything) … all other buttons f/b etc fine … http://www.poetrycottage.wordpress.com. Help please!

I am having the same problem – Like button not loading. Can WP do anything about it at their end?
-
I seem to have got it working again by switching to https.
However, on my latest post it has gone haywire. It says there’s only one like when there are several, and the dashboard notifications display just one.

My blog is http://mikeosbornphoto.com

Yes I see – it’s OK on your homepage but not on your post page. How do you switch to https?
-
The latest post is acting up on both pages. I can keep track via the reader, which says I have 13 likes so far. Something’s gone awry!
It’s a tick box for https: http://en.support.wordpress.com/https/

OK. I was just able to like the post on your homepage http://mikeosbornphoto.com
but i could not Like it on the post page http://mikeosbornphoto.com/2014/01/01/favourite-shots-of-2013-part-ii/
I think I will wait for a WP fix…
Thanks v much for the https tip. -

Yes, seems to need some proper tinkering under the bonnet, but glad your cleared cache has done the trick!
-
The likes on my latest post have put themselves right, though notifications have yet to catch up…
-
Is this something we will have to do to correct problem ourselves or do we wait? … I’m afraid I’m not a computer ‘mechanic’ and some of the advice given here is like another language to me …. still having problems by the way. Happy New Year to everyone.

I have just switched browers and it works fine there. I was on Firefox and it stopped working now I do wordpress through explorer again. Glad it works thank you!

I also am not able to click on the like buttons on other people’s blogs. It is constantly loading. This is a new 2014 problem. It was working fine yesterday (in 2013)! I do not want to have to switch browsers. All of my bookmarks and such are on Firefox. Hope this is an easy fix for the wordpress technical team.
