The easy to use reblog button seems to have disappeared. I just noticed that, when someone informed me that they had to cut and paste one of my posts, instead of being able to reblog.
Anyone got any ideas, or know the reason why?
Or is it just another famous WordPress glitch?
This always happens to me!!! I’m going to read all these comments and googlvestigate myself because I love reblogging my friend’s posts occasionally.😓 I just finished a book that had some wild names, Pete as well! Haha! So I know when I post my review you will enjoy the names!

One of the reasons why I’ve kept my WordPress.com blog (apart from one never knows when I’ll decide to close the WordPress.org one) was the option of reblogging, but, as I was telling another author a couple of weeks ago, we wouldn’t know what to do with ourselves if WordPress didn’t give us anything to complain about… 😉

I have had the same thing happen-where did my reblog button go? It came back eventually with no explanation! Then my posts carried everyone a different route to get to my blog-next, my posts quit publishing! A messy affair, but now all is back to normal. If Ihad a solution, I would gladly share it with you, being such a fan.

the reblog and Press this button are very similar and the press this button seems to have been updated and is now easier to use and you can schedule posts without having to come out and edit to reschedule maybe they have phased out the reblog as is there a point to having two very similar buttons?

I have never used the Press This one, Carol. But as far as I can see this morning, both have gone.
Answers from WP imply that the reblog option will be back soon.

I know I had to select the reblog on my sites (settings / sharing) so I could reblog my own posts so I know that the button is ‘on’ for Travel Words and the garden blogs. Just been to check and yes, the button is MIA. Oh, well. Luckily I have decided to copy and paste manually and link.

Yeah not all changes are good if I am being honest. Sometimes they mess with things that are good already, and totally seem to waste it. Hopefully this won’t be the case with the editor, as I think it’s fine the way it is now. But maybe that’s just me.
