Comment Notification Emails
We were all concerned when Google made changes and left us with no comment email notification.
The Easy Fix - Go into Settings on your dashboard.
Click Email.
Your email address should be in the box. Remove it! Click Save settings. Now Add it back in, click enter and click Save settings.
You will then receive an email from Noreply+subscribe@blogger.com
It will be addressed to your blog email.

The next item is HTTPS notice from Blogger.
You will most likely see this notice above your blog posts.
If you see this message, you can go to Settings and make the changes. Change the No to Yes.
It will then process. After a few minutes or so, refresh your blog. The next item, HTTPS Redirect should show up. After changing no to yes, make sure to click save. Below is what it looks like.
There is a site to check to see if your blog is secure.
It will give you test results. Sometimes, if it fails, it says mixed content. That means some of your widgets, photos or a signature are HTTP. Changing these items will make your blog secure. These items need to be HTTPS.
I re-made my signature, because initially it was HTTP.
I hope this clears up some issues you may have.

Lisa, it's good to share the knowledge.
DeleteHey, great job on the update, did a post on this subject, as you know last week! We need this kind of helpful information to stay secure and to be what I call a clean web site!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Roxy
Yes, by all means sharing the knowledge is the best! Roxy, thanks for sharing at Dishing It & Digging It.
DeleteThanks for the valuable info, Linda! I clicked on "why no padlock" and two things showed up: Protocols and Form Failure, and I don't quite understand what they mean. The first said that I have TLSv1 is enabled and that is being phased out and should have been disabled by 6/30/2018. I don't know where to find this to disable and also, it says a form with the *http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify* or another secure URL for your padlock to return. So how do I update this? Thanks!

DeleteYou never cease to amaze me in terms of your knowledge and expertise! This is all Greek to me, but I can see that many other people know exactly what you are writing about. I'm such a technology "old lady."

DeleteLinda, you are very helpful in compiling this. My blog was already https without any mixed content, but I hadn't been receiving comments for over 8 months, since early last October. A few other bloggers I know were impacted then, but only until this GDPR mess did everyone seem to be affected. Thank you, I hope it works!
ReplyDeleteRite, I know Blogger put us all in through the ringer. You should start receiving email notifications again. If you have a problem, drop me a line.
DeleteOh, Linda you are the best. I have everything working except when I did the "secure" test it said something about I needed to put HTTPS on my feedburner but I have no idea where it is and since it's working okay I'll just leave it for now. Thanks for the heads up! Have a happy 4th and sure hope your Mom's surgery goes well.
ReplyDeleteIf I still have access, I can fix it for you Lea.

DeleteHi Linda, my only question is, when you say to delete our email, do you mean to click that "choose your contacts-remove" area, or just delete our email in the box? I tried just deleting my email in the box, saving, and then adding it back, and saving it again, but I didn't receive any invitation.
ReplyDeleteHappy 4th to you and your hubby!
Kitty, just delete your address in the box, then save. Add it back in and save again.

DeleteHi Linda,
ReplyDeletethanks for the information. I tried the secure test and says I have 2 soft failure errors, and that the url needs to be updated to a secure url for the padlock to return. Can you advise me on how I do that? Appreciate any help?!

better late than never, I tried to tackle the fact that I don't get e-mails when someone comments on my blog. I've tried what you are explaining here and I'm so glad I found this. However, unfortunately, when I go into this Setting-Email-Comment notification email box, it says:
ReplyDeleteThere are no emails
Can I can not change anything in that box. It's dead, so to speak! Any suggestions? I'm getting so frustrated because I don't quite understand why this is not an easy fix.
Thanks a bunch for your great explanation!
