Hello!

I searched the forum and found that a tech support can help transfer the stats from my old wordpress.com blog to my self-hosted wordpress.org?

Much appreciated if someone can do this for me!

Thank you,
Angella

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

No problem, I’ve tagged staff to help with this issue: https://en.support.wordpress.com/getting-help-in-the-forums/#how-do-i-get-a-moderatorstaff-reply-for-my-question

They’ll likely respond within a few hours. Which are the sites you want to transfer from? Also, please ensure you have a Jetpack connection created by installing the Jetpack plugin on your self-hosted site.

I created my new blog on wordpress.com with the domain simplyangella.com.

I recently moved it to wordpress.org and am still struggling with what I am supposed to do with my wordpress.com (simplyangella.wordpress.com) account? I cancelled my premium plan but kept my domain.

Hi there, can you verify you want the stats for

https://simplyangella.wordpress.com/

moved to

http://www.simplyangella.com/

and I would be happy to do that for you.

I would suggest setting https://simplyangella.wordpress.com/ back to Private just in case sometime in the future you wish to revive and use that site.

Since your domain name is still registered through us, you will need to keep a site here so that you have access to the domain you purchased. That site can be set to Private and no one can access or see it, but you.

Hello!

Yes, I would like the stats moved from my old site,
https://simplyangella.wordpress.com/

to my self-hosted site, http://www.simplyangella.com/

After reading up on the forums, I have changed my old site to private. So I guess that answers my question…I should NOT delete my old site since my domain is bought through wordpress.com.

Thank you!

Hi there, your stats have been merged. Let us know if you have additional questions or problems.

And that is correct, keep it set to Private and don’t delete it. If you do, you would then not have access to the domain settings and controls.
