Unable to disable “follow blog”

Hi there! This is a bug, and it’s being tracked here:

https://github.com/Automattic/jetpack/issues/5769

It should be fixed in the next release. Until then, you can change those options under Settings > Discussion in your dashboard, at the bottom of the page.

No. My issue is not the same as on the link posted.

In my case, the settings are not lost after reloading the page. The issue is that disabling ‘follow blog’ does not disable ‘Notify me of new posts via email’ under the comment box.

Disabling both “follow comments” and “follow blog” successfully removes both “Notify me of new comments via email” and “Notify me of new posts via email” from under the comment box.

Does this mean that you can only disable or enable both options at once, but not set them separately? Did I understand correctly?

Do you experience the same issue when updating the options via Settings > Discussion?

@jeherve You understood correctly!

Thanks for the tip! Updating the options under Settings > Discussion helped!

It makes no sense having settings for the same thing in two places. No wonder it did not work earlier!

I hope that the jetpack team takes note of this issue!

Excellent, I’m glad to hear you could work around the problem!

These settings used to be only available under Settings > Discussion. We decided to make them available in the Jetpack settings screen as well, since that’s where a lot of people go look for those settings (as you did.)

Obviously, that’s only useful when the toggles and checkboxes actually work! We’ll make sure this is fixed in a future Jetpack release. Thanks for the report!

Thanks for taking note of the issue! ??
