It must be a wordpress problem and not about individual subscribers.

Happy to report that after a few days, almost all my subscribers were back again. It's very worrying when it happens though!

Rather it sounds like the large number of lost subscribers was the action of a bot (=robot) and that's probably how, a few months ago, I suddenly gained 160 subscribers. They are not real subscribers, but some number that a WordPress glitch came up with.

I've still lost 1,400 but at least half are back. It might be worth trying that. Good luck

When the post was up a few minutes later, I noticed that my subscribers were down to 25. I have two other blogs and there the numbers also dropped by 160. It's comforting to know this happened to others, too, but what caused it. Obviously, a systems problem.

And if you disconnect and reconnect afterwards??

I seem still to be connected to twitter. But I can't think how over 2,800 subscribers disappeared overnight :(

Dropped with 530 subscribers. You need to reconnect to FB, Twitter, LinkedIn etc via Settings > Sharing > and then reconnect. My problem is that I still don't have everybody back. I'm missing my normal subscribers who don't have FB, twitter etc!
So any help is appreciated!!

This can't be true. Is there any other explanation?
