    Hello Support,

    I have moved my wordpress.com site digitaloskar.wordpress.com to a new self-hosted site http://www.digitaloskarphotography.co.uk installed jetpack and connected to wordpress.com.

    I would like to have my followers (not content) moved to the new site please. I couldn't find anything to tell me how to contact you other than posting here.

    Thanks very much
    Oskar

    The blog I need help with is digitaloskar.wordpress.com.

    Hello, I am also in the process of setting up my new self hosted blog , and I'm trying find a way to move my subscribers from sensorysmartparent.wordpress.com to http://www.sensorysmartparent.com/blog.

    Is it possible to keep those subscribers, and move them to my new blog as well?
    Thank you!

    Hi - I have the same issue. Would you mind terribly transferring mine as well? The WordPress is http://thegaudyblog.wordpress.com and the self-hosted address is http://www.thegaudyblog.com. I have installed Jetpack.

    Thank you so much.

    Thanks macmanx. One question. On my wordpress.com site, I had 160ish subscribers, but only 44 have transferred. Is that normal?

    Only email subscribers can be transfered.

    Can email subscribers only be moved to self-hosted sites or can they also be transferred to another wordpress.com site?

    Hi,

    I have just moved my WordPress blog to a WordPress.org site and would like my followers transferred. Can this please be done. I have a total of 37 followers. Will they all get moved?

    Here are the details:

    blog: http://www.roadiswheretheheartis.wordpress.com
    new site: http://www.roadiswheretheheartis.com

    This is hosted via Bluehost and I have activated Jetpack.

    Thanks a lot.

    Hi, It's me again.

    I am having trouble with the WordPress website. My home page has suddenly gone blank and the site is not letting me import content again from my blog.

    Can anyone help me with this? Is this a BlueHost issue or WordPress? I was trying to change themes when this happened.

    Site name- http://www.roadiswheretheheartis.com

    please hold off moving subscribers till this issue is resolved.

    Thanks a lot.
    Priyanka

    Is this a BlueHost issue or WordPress?

    It's a wordpress.org issue. You need to got to this page http://wordpress.org/support and register a username account there on the top right hand corner of the page.

    Thank You. 22 followers out of 37 got transferred, I am guessing others got lost in the transition.

    Is there any way to retrieve them?

    Thanks

    Only email subscribers are transferred. The rest were WordPress.com Reader subscribers, and the Reader only supports WordPress.com blogs.
