  Hi,

  I moved my blog from http://www.roshnimistry.wordpress.com to http://www.roshnimistry.com. I set up a redirect from the old blog to the new, which seems to work fine. But I keep getting notifications to say that people have followed my OLD blog.

  Can someone please move the remaining users to my correct site which is http://www.roshnimistry.com !

  Thanks
  Roshni

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

  You can do this yourself. :) Your email subscribers can be moved from your .wordpress.com blog to your WordPress.org install after you install and activate the JetPack plugin. You can then follow this guide https://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/moving-your-subscribers/#wordpress-com-to-self-hosted-site

  I already moved them once and set up the redirect on my old blog, but someone on this forum told me to ask for a migration again to move over the rest of the followers as I no longer have the option to.

  (see this link https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/moved-to-self-hosted-blog-redirected-people-still-able-to-follow-old-blog?replies=2#post-2309528)

  basically after one migration of followers I was still getting notifications of people following my old blog, even though I had a redirect set up!

  Hope someone can help!

  Thanks,
  Roshni

  I’ve moved the stragglers.

  This is happening because your old site is still connected to the reader. If you set http://www.roshnimistry.wordpress.com to private, it will still redirect correctly, but you won’t get people accidentally subscribing to the wrong site.

  Let me know if you need anything else.
