Can't Like Posts – Why?
-
For some reason, I am unable to like the posts of the blogs I follow anymore. A blank window will pop up but there’s no sign in or anything. I tried using Firefox 32.0.2 and Google Chrome, but the problem still persists.
Please help.

The WordPres.com like button is an in-house like button just like the Facebook one and every other in house like button is.You have to be a logged WordPress.com/gravatar account holder to click it on any WordPress.com blog.
BTW I’m sorry but we cannot provide accurate answers to any blogger who fails to provide the exact URL starting with http:// for the exact blog they refer to so we can verify where it is hosted. Please do that now.

I have the exact same problem. Here is one of the many urls that will not accept my pressing the “like” button on their WordPress blog site: http://mastcellblog.wordpress.com/2014/10/24/flares/
I hope you can help “invisibleautistic” and myself. My blog url is: sunshinebrightblog.wordpress.comThank you.
