The ‘followers’ link on my blog (http://barnabasproject.wordpress.com) says that I have 175 followers, when in fact I have only 28. can you fix this please?
The blog I need help with is barnabasproject.wordpress.com.
How many subscribers (WordPress.com Followers) do you see here?
http://wordpress.com/#!/my-stats/?blog_subscribersHow many email subscribers (Email Followers) do you see here?
http://wordpress.com/#!/my-stats/?blog_subscribers&type=email10 and 18 respectively
Staff can look into this for you. I tagged this thread for their assistance. Please subscribe to it so you are notified when they respond.
The total followers includes your Publicize connections, so in this case, 147 from Facebook.
This is very misleading, and in any case I don’t understand how I can have any ‘publicise’ connections. I haven’t authorised any on the settings/sharing page. I haven’t even got a facebook account. How can I turn this off?
It would appear that you or one of the other users connected the blog to https://www.facebook.com/lenny.anderson3
We consider your Facebook followers to part of your total followers, as they are following you via Facebook and will see the posts sent there via Publicize.
I forgot to add that the user who connected it can disconnect it via Settings -> Sharing in the blog’s Dashboard.
Thanks
You’re welcome!
