Disable FOLLOW popup?

    Hi all,

    I would like to diasble the follow pop-up in the lower right hand corner that I see when I log out. I would prefer to keep my # of followers private and readers have many ways to follow me via my sidebar. Is there any way I can do this?

    Thanks in advance,
    Lisa

    The blog I need help with is lisamichele.wordpress.com.

    To disable the follow button > Dashboard > Settings > Reading > Email. But that only disables the Follow button for logged out WordPress.com users and those who don't have WordPress.com accounts.

    now changed to Dashboard > Settings > Reading > Follower Settings
    These settings change emails sent from your blog to followers.

    Thank you, timethief. However, the box is unchecked, and it's still popping up when I log out.

    I want to let you know I logged out and I can see that follow button on your blog too.

    It's definitely gone, but you might need to clear your browser's cache to see it yourself.

    Thanks so much. It comes and goes, but as you mentioned, it's about clearing my browser cache. As long as no one else sees it, I'm ok :)
