  Can you please migrate my email subscribers to my self hosted site?

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

  For Staff to you so, please give the URL of your self-hosted WordPress site and confirm that you have jetpack installed. Thanks.

  The URL is http://www.kyngpaotest.com

  We do have Jetpack installed. Thanks so much!

  I’ve tagged this for Staff assistance. Please subscribe to this thread if you haven’t so you will see their reply.

  (I’m also a little confused because it appears that your WordPress.com site above is updated through today as well, so you will want to make the WordPress.com site Private once your subscribers have been moved over.)

  Yes, that is correct. Once we have migrated our subscribers the kyngpaotest site will become the new kentuckyguard.com

  We have imported our previous posts already, but just need our email subscribers.

  Howdy,

  Right now, the two sites are registered under different WordPress.com accounts, so we would need approval from the owner of the Jetpack connection to the kyngpaotest.com site to proceed.

  That said, it would be best to move your new site to kentuckyguard.com, disconnect and reconnect Jetpack (ideally with the same WordPress.com as yours), and then for us to move over the subscribers. That would ensure the Jetpack connection is to the right domain ( kentuckyguard.com ) and prevent some common hiccups down the road.

  Moving the subscribers over takes only a few minutes and we can do it as soon as the change has been made.

  Thanks!
