It seems that perhaps I need to hire someone to design my website.
I have spent all morning trying to get the WordPress features to work right, during my attempt to redesign my blog.
And I discovered that my plan no longer allows me to have Happiness Engineer assistance on the weekends, though that is how it was when I first purchased my plan.
Anyone else unhappy with WordPress as of late?
Advice?

I’ll bet! And, you know, I went on Twitter, which I complained about in an earlier blog, and it’s so much easier to go through your list of followers (with the revamp), then it is on WordPress.

😮 Huh? The Happiness Engineers do not work on weekends?
Anyway, I hate not having the freedom to adjust the fonts on the new batch of WordPress themes (That can only be done by using CSS; which is only accessible to those with paid plans).

You can change the fonts with CSS? LOL (Still trying to teach myself CSS)

Hee, they do, but only if you have a business plan now. So weird to type that, because I feel like a diva…but it wouldn’t even be an issue, if it hadn’t been that way previously. *laugh*

I’ve been noticing a lot of glitches lately with WP and it’s so frustrating. It will tell me I’m not following a blog when I know I am. So I have to refresh the page every time. Comments aren’t going through on some. It’s getting on my nerves. 🤔

You know, it’s been years since that glitch with the follow/not follow has been going on. It’s like “Why don’t they fix anything?” I’ve had to refresh pages I visit so many times till it says I’m following them.

I have noticed that some people who follow should be in the spam folder. The follower count is inaccurate also.
Some people have recommended other blogs, or a ‘back-up’ but that might be more of a hassle. I think there is a discussion board on here somewhere to ask for problems to be fixed.

Have you had a problem with WordPress pages loading that you go to to read new blog entries? Or the “Like” button failing to show up?

Yes. There are a few where the like button never shows up no matter how many times I refresh.

I’m so glad you mentioned that…I was thinking that it was a problem with my internet service. It’s bizarre. And strange, given that I just posted a blog complaining about Twitter, but WordPress could take a page from them, because it’s a lot easier to go through the follow list on Twitter than it is WordPress.

So, what are the alternatives? It’s pricey to switch over the domain I have. But I did check out some options…

I’ve switched to wp.org, but it still happens. I don’t want to leave WP because everything is here so I’m hoping they get it all fixed soon.

Yeah I don’t want to leave, either…but if they don’t…well, we’ll see.

Interesting post and comments… but all my doubts are still there. First of all what is the advantage of having a paid plan? Does it work better? How much is it?

Well, it’s not working better as of late. I mainly did it for the domain name.
