  Hi there,

  I’ve done so much research and am super confused. Is there a way to transfer my subscribers and blog followers from my previous blog to my now self-hosted site? These are the sites:

  Blog – http://www.theothersidereviews.wordpress.com
  Site – http://www.theothersidereviews.com

  Thank you sooooo much! :)

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

  The blog you specified at http://www.theothersidereviews.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.

  You need to install the JetPack Plugin and configure it. The staff can then move subscribers for you.

  I have flagged this for the staff to help

  Hi Nicole – Sure thing, I moved your subscribers and merged your stats for you. :)

  Hi eurello,
  THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!! However, I do not see a merge of the subscribers. I have only 39 followers, whereas I had approximately 500 on my former blog. Do I need to uninstall and reinstall something? :)

  Hi Nicole,

  We transferred all of your email and WordPress.com subscribers. The additional subscribers you had on your WordPress.com blog were social media followers who got your updates through the Publicize feature. You can set up Publicize on your new blog by following this guide: http://jetpack.me/support/publicize/

  That will make sure that all of your social media followers keep getting your updates. :) Please let us know if you have any questions about that!
