Moving WordPress Followers
-
I am in need of assistance in moving my active followers from my wordpress blog to the blog that I am now hosting in my own domain. The blog I want to remove from subscribers FROM is http://miffalicious.wordpress.com. The self-hosted site I want to move my followers TO is http://www.miffalicious.com. I’ve only been able to find information for email subscribers but I would like to move my WordPress user followers!
Blog url: http://miffalicious.wordpress.comThe blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

The blog you specified at http://www.miffalicious.com does not appear to be hosted at WordPress.com.
This support forum is for blogs hosted at WordPress.com. If your question is about a self-hosted WordPress blog then you’ll find help at the WordPress.org forums.
If you don’t understand the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org, you may find this information helpful.
If you forgot to include a link to your blog, you can reply and include it below. It’ll help people to answer your question.

As long as you have the Jetpack plugin installed on your self-hosted blog, Staff can transfer your WordPress.com and email subscribers from your WordPress.com blog to your new self-hosted blog. I have flagged this thread for Staff attention. -

Hi miffalicious,
I believe your miffalicious.com site isn’t connected via Jetpack yet. I couldn’t find it in the list of connected sites. When you install Jetpack, you then have to authenticate with WordPress.com which will allow you to connect your site to WordPress.com and thus enable the Jetpack features.
Once you confirm that’s done, we’ll be able to move those subscribers over.
Thanks!

Hi Jkudish!
I have reconnected it again; would it be possible for you to see if it is authenticated now?
Thank you!!

I have moved your subscribers as requested.
Please let us know if you need any further assistance!
-
Thank you very much!
I’d just like to ask, how would I be able to check the number of followers? And from hereon, would it be right for me to say that readers can only follow my blog through email subscriptions?

You’re welcome!
You can check your subscribers via a similar link near the bottom-left of your stats page.
The WordPress.com Reader does not support self-hosted blogs, so email is their only subscription option, besides using your RSS feed in a third-party reader.

HELLO,
I just moved from wp.com to self hosted, activated jetpack but still don’t see my old subscribers :(
please let me know how to get them back. Thanks!

Staff can move your email subscribers for you. They need to know what the URL for your .wordpress.com blog is to do that. -
Thank you very much for your response timethief.
My new self-hosted site is http://www.livinglavidablogging.com
and my wp.com was livinglavidablogging.wordpress.com
the same name basically.
So will staff read my info here and do it?

Also, my wp.com said that I had 300 or so followers on facebook. Does are gone too. How do I get those back?
Thanks

I have transferred your subscribers as requested.
The Facebook subscribers are only listed because you had your WordPress.com set to Publicize to Facebook, but Publicize is not available on self-hosted WordPress.org blog, so this number was not transferred.
You can still automatically post to Facebook with a variety of plugins, like http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/facebook/

Hello, I’ve also just moved to a self hosted wp blog, and trying to figure out how to get my followers back. Would it be possible to have my followers from http://nancypeske.wordpress.com moved to http://www.nancypeske.com/blog as well?
