This month, I have featured the Southern yellow billed hornbill as my In Touch With Nature featured creature. Such a lovely and interesting bird. Thanks to Kaye Lynne Booth for hosting.
I am having trouble with reblogs. The button doesn’t bring up a link to the post like it used to. Now, that button just creates a blank page on my blog and I have to manually copy and paste the link. It is a nuisance as I can’t reblog nearly as quickly or easily. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

I don’t think I’ve ever reblogged anything. I clicked on the Reblog icon to see what would happen. It led me to my blog on an empty page like you said.

It’s a little annoying for me as I always reblog posts that I guest write to help share the word. Oh well, I can do the work around. Thanks, Kay.

Hi, Robbie, it sounds like either A you need to update WP or B they’re doing away with the reblog.
I have to create my own reblog posts. I’ve been doing it that way for years because of my hosting platform.
It’s time consuming. It’s why some people hire me to do work.

On the whole, I can’t complain about WP but this is something new and a bit irritating as I do reblog. Any how …

Hi, again.
Another work around I have done for this is to enable the post via email. For example on posts where people have the email a link to a friend sharing option enabled I select that option and then, using an email address WP generated when I set up that free feature I simply write my intro copy my text and link, and email it all.
If on the smart device just use the sharing option and it does the rest when you select the email or wp tab.
If you have the wp app on your phone or other smart device it’s a snap.
This is a lot of what people have me doing for them because it is so time consuming no one wants to do it. LOL.

I have used the re-blog option a couple times, though I stopped because I couldn’t edit them later if need be (and it shows up blank in WordPress, though it didn’t for the site itself back then). That’s why if the WordPress sharing button is available, I go for that.

I tried to reblog a post a few weeks ago and had the same result. I didn’t bother asking WP about it because their standard solution is “Clear your cache.” So I cleared the cache, but the reblog still didn’t work.

The classic tech response is, “Clear your cache.” What they don’t tell you is that this has about a 2% success rate.

Actually, I was having the opposite problem with the last two times I tried to reblog. I wanted to add an obvious link to the other blog (because I’ve found that a lot of people don’t understand what to do with the reblogged tidbit on the screen) and no matter what I did, rather than the link, it returned the snippet… WordPress is more than ever full of strange and frustrating things.
Wishing you a good weekend. Hugs.
