I am having trouble ‘liking’ wordpress posts online. I’m using an iPad and have cleared my browsing history etc.
What am I missing? It’s frustrating because I have so many blogs that I visit and wish to like posts.
** Edited to add in that it’s suddenly all working again. Im not sure if it’s something that wordpress did or I did, but I emailed them and told the, my issues. No reply as of yet, it’s working anyway so I am not complaining **
I have trouble too,on the ones who have their own websites it makes me log in again and doesn’t register.
Experienced the problem where after a certain amount of likes, you can’t continue “liking”. I log out and give WP about an hour to “rest”. I can then continue to “like”. That’s what I have been doing to date. I also hope someone has a better solution than mine. 🙂
Mine is working again. It wasn’t even the quantity of likes because I had just gone on to start reading.
Good to know! Wonder what my problem is then. Thank you.
I don’t have an iPad myself so I have no idea…but a quick Google search produced this: https://en.blog.wordpress.com/2017/03/24/a-new-wordpress-app-update-designed-for-the-ipad/
I didn’t see anything there addressing the like feature specifically but they would probably be able to give you the best help.
Good luck.
Thankyou. I use the app too, the reader works well but it’s hard to see an entire page when you are reading blogs. It seems to be working again for now, thankyou.
I also find I can only “like” or comment on posts from my laptop. Even if I go into the wordpress app, it still then takes me in circles to ‘log in’ again. Very frustrating
Maddening. Well, call this a coincidence but I emailed tech support, and it’s all working again.
I have the same problem. When I want to like a post a small window pops up for a half second, and I assume that want me to ask for signing in, but it disappears too fast. Above all: I am always logged in. So I can like many posts only in the reader here. 😯
That’s been it for me. So I wrote off to wordpress earlier, and suddenly the liking has started to work again. I wonder if there’s a correlation. Had you been working on another site by any chance? I have been making a website for someone and had wondered even if that had somehow messed up some settings. Who knows but for now it works.
No, I don’t working on another site, and I am only working on my laptop. First I will follow your advice and will log out and wait for a while. Maybe there was an update and my system don’t noticed that. 😉 If it will further not work I will write to the support, too.
I sometimes have that issue. I’m not sure why. I reset my browser. Sometimes I just go back the next day, and all of the sudden it’s working again.
Thankyou. It’s all working again for some reason…not complaining.
I have an iPad Air. When I open WordPress on a browser, I will have trouble liking a post and/or following a blog. I’m not sure why this is, but I understand your frustration.
Hi
I’ve been having the same issue. I can only ‘Like’ and comment on me Reader. I’ve been contacted by the HappyHelpers. They have been having me try many things. So far, Nothing.
Now, sometimes it works and at other times it does not 😫
If you figure it out. Thank you 😊

Ps … my Like button worked in here from my IPHONE.
I’ve gotten that bug sometimes too. I try logging out and logging back in and sometimes that fixes it. Glad it’s all back up and running now!
Glad it’s working again. I’ve had this problem from time to time, where I’d have to log in every time to like or comment. Eventually it starts working, and I have turned it all off for a little bit. Maybe it resets or something.
I have troubles on my tablet so I guess it’s an app thing. Sorry I didn’t think of that before
When THINGS start to happen I always look to WP first. 🙂
wp is glitchy at times. i find if i close and return things clear up or like you, it just clears up without doing anything
I seem to do okay on the laptop but have difficulty sometimes on the iPhone. I turn the phone off and then on and sometimes it asks me to log in too. I then can like a post. It’s somewhat aggravating. 🙂
I know others have said it is a WP thing…..believe me it is. This like thingy is a pain in the you know what 😀
