Just to let you know, my blog has been suffering from some WP glitches this weekend.
Some followers have been appearing as ‘Anonymous’ when they have left a comment.
Using the notification sidebar to reply to comments has made those comments disappear, though my reply has appeared on the blog.
A few comments from regular readers have been found in the Spam or Trash folders.
I have been asked to approve comments from people who regularly comment, even if they do not contain links.
So if my replies are delayed, or your comment is missing, you know why.

It’s been more challenging recently to track down both “followers” and “likes’. WordPress has not been sending them to my GMail. There have been other small things that do not help when one is trying to focus on creating a decent post! Thanks for giving us all space to vent.

Check your notification settings in the menu. Mine had been ‘Unticked’. (Not by me)
Settings>Discussion>Likes Notifications
Settings>Discussion>Social Notifications
Best wishes, Pete.

The most recent ‘anonymous’ is actually Eddy, in Poland. No idea why he hasn’t been identified.

I can’t comment on my Ipad using my WordPress account any more but I can here on my desktop. While writing a blogpost if I choose a new Block and add text or an image it says I don’t have permission to save. If I close the site down and reopen, retype text I can save it!! So timewasting. I’m glad my other blog is on blogger.

The glitches do not seem to be getting any less with this new system. I am still using the Classic editor, and having issues with the notification sidebar. I also no longer get an email when someone follows my blog, despite having that option ticked.
Best wishes, Pete.

We don’t know what to expect anymore, GP. Some days it still works as normal, and on others it seems to be all over the place.

I’ve been thinking of setting a time for tomorrow’s post to be published. Do you find that to be stable on the new editor?

I have never done that, GP. In all the time i have been blogging, I have always just published immediately after writing, or saved it as a draft until the next day.

I usually schedule a post for the next day and it still works but start with the time then the date or it closes and you have to go back in!

WP is full of glitches. When I use the app on my phone I can comment and like blogs and reply to comments in the notifications. But if I then try to view the post on the browser I am told that I am not logged in, so can’t comment!

I don’t have the app on my phone, but it is on my Tablet. That is working better than the main site this weekend.

Things have been glitchy for a few days when it comes to comments. There were also a couple of blogs this week where the comments wouldn’t load in the reader, or I could not even comment from the reader. Crazy times. Thanks for letting us know at least Pete😊
