Blogger help – no email notifications from blogs I follow

Hi there, I could do with some help…

Have you experienced this? I no longer get email notifications via my Reader “blogs I follow”. (I am getting the RSS feeds)

To see who has posted I now have to go to my Reader.

And over the past few days I have found that not all the “blogs I follow” are showing up there.

On checking the forums there have been messages in the past, but none were resolved.

I miss getting notifications of your posts and being able to connect with ease!

Any techies out there who have a suggestion?

Thank you!

    This happened to me. I just lost everything and had to start over. It happened about a year ago. xo

    Email notifications seem incredibly fickle Val, and have done for many months. I rely on them myself, and almost never go to my reader. Just today I realised I had missed a post from John Hanagan, and I did so because I always make a point of looking to see what the previous post is on any site. Some people complain that they get unsubscribed completely, though I have only ever noticed sporadic failures of notifications.

      Fickle seems like a good word here Hariod! I will make it work for me … And hopefully ride those fickle inconsistent and incomprehensible Waves!
      So hum 🙂

    Hi Val – I’ve not been experiencing any difficulties with email notifications. Have you chatted with or reached out to WordPress? I’ve always found them to be VERY helpful. Meanwhile, I continue to enjoy your posts here as well as on LinkedIn! 🙂

      Thanks Carrie. I leave for a few days vacation in Florida tomorrow, and will see if resolves itself or I will follow up when I return.
      I hope to bring Spring back to those who are ready for it 😉

    Val, I haven’t had this problem at all but you’re not the first to notify about it. Hope you get this solved without too much stress. 🙂

    Sorry to hear you’re having this problem, I suppose you already clicked on Blogs I Follow in the Dashboard and Settings? I depend completely on my Reader these days, just got used to going through them like this…

    Me, too. Totally intermittent. Can’t figure it out. Sometimes I can’t see comments left through the reader either.

    I have no clue Val. Try to ask the WordPress support team, they will be able to help. Good luck and enjoy your week. A blessing in disguise yes? 🙂

    Sorry you are having difficulties connecting, Val. I have had “strange” hiccups at times with WP…they usually work themselves out. Have a safe and wonderful trip!! Maybe we will pass each other in the sunshine state! 🙂

    Val I can sympathise.. I just came from a blog I had not seen either in the emails or in the reader.. I usually try if possible to go from my email.. but the list is so long I know I miss many as I follow many. And if I am absent a couple of days the list grows longer..
    I know others have had similar problems Val.. and I know some that I have followed upon inspection as to why I have not had updates it seems I was unfollowed from them.. Yet I know I had not unfollowed them.. this has happened a lot to those who pay premiums to WP…

    I hope your problem can get sorted soon..

    Sunday I had problems with the drop down comment/like notifications column on the right side – nothing there! It did resolve itself. Perhaps WP adjusting things?

    I have had this same problem for about 2 weeks. And I can’t help but wonder if it has something to do with the updates to my iPhone as I use it primarily. Plus I noticed I have to check into my Admin on WP to now view the blogs I follow, the app no longer shows them. Finally, I subscribe to my own blogs to see if they get into the reader. In the last month, they often don’t show up for 3-4 days post my posting them. I always know when there is a problem when people don’t reapond. I just haven’t figured out how to fix it. 😔 I did see this today. So that’s good. 💫
