Migrating wordpress.com blog over self-hosted site" http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/help-migrating-wordpresscom-blog-over-self-hosted-site#post-1069053 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 20:47:56 +0000 aledipie 1069053@http://en.forums.wordpress.com/ I am planning to migrate my WordPress.com blog over a self-hosted site.

Along with the content (posts, pages, media, comments, etc.), I would like to keep my email subscribers.

I also need to transfer the domain name (alessandradipietro.it) that is currently mapping my blog (godete.wordpress.com) to the new website.

Would it suffice to follow the instructions in http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/, or there is any particular advice I should take into account before moving?

Thanks,
Alessandra

If you have email subscriptions set up here then you will have to set up a new one at some place like feedburner. You can export your email subscribers from here to a CSV file, but there is no way to import them at feedburner - at least not that I have ever found. They would have to resubscribe at feedburner.

If all you want is a domain name, why not just buy it and the mapping upgrade for $17 a year and stay here?

If you do actually move off WP.com, then all people subscribed to your WP.com feed will have to re-subscribe to your new one. If you don't move, the feed will still go to them as usual.

Also, there's this:

http://en.support.wordpress.com/offsite-redirect/ although I don't believe the redirect has any effect on the feed. You can ask staff directly via your dashboard Help button, or maybe one of the other volunteers knows.

Will this change effect those currently subscribed to my wordpress.com blog? How do I ensure that I don't lose them?

Additionally, I assume this change will mean that I will need to pay to redirect traffic to the new blog?

Have you checked that? If it is empty it is a .COM issue, if it is not empty it is a .ORG issue.

I clicked on export to generate a file, went to my BH site and clicked on import. I get a message that says...

Sorry, there has been an error.

File is empty. Please upload something more substantial. This error could also be caused by uploads being disabled in your php.ini or by post_max_size being defined as smaller than upload_max_filesize in php.ini.

Which place is at fault? WP.com? WP.org or BH? Which one do I go to for help?

Google will update eventually, but you can facilitate it reading your new blog by registering at Google Blogsearch.

I did not have very much content on my .com blog, so what I did was just install the new blog, and manually entered the new content, I then deleted my old blog.

When I have been checking Goolge for my keyword search testing, I see that my old blog permalinks, tags, etc. are there, and when one clicks on them, WP.com tells them that the user has deleted this blog.

My question is, is there a way for me to re-open that blog, and just forward the domain traffic to my new location (if so, how do I do this)? Or is there a way to get Google to pick up my new blog location (it has the same content, keywords, etc. as my old blog), but for some reason, Google is showing my old blog.
