  I recently made the switch from WordPress.com to .org and somehow, I made the blog owner on the new site, myself instead of the admin of the blog and now when I try to migrate our WordPress followers, it will only let me migrate the followers from my personal blog. If I sign is as the Admin and try it, it says I’m not a blog owner and cannot migrate them. How can I get them to move over?

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

  Hey @meaganmakeover!

  I can understand the confusion, it can be a tricky process migrating between WordPress.ORG and WordPress.COM. This page discusses how to migrate your subscribers to your new .ORG site.

  Because Jetpack is linked to your WordPress.com user I would make sure you are using the correct WordPress.com account to connect it to. If you have any troubles with this or if you have already tried this please do not hesitate to respond back to this thread with those details : )

  Cheers,

  Tony
