  We’re moving our blog from wordpress.com to our own domain and are still using wordpress. We downloaded the posts and comments but I want to bring the email subscribers who have subscribed to our email list over to our new blog. Is there a similar follow widget and if so how do I download the emails from these subscribers so I can continue to send them emails?

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

  As you probably know, there are two kinds of WordPress, so please clarify. You are moving to a self-hosted WordPress site, which means you’re no longer hosted by WordPress.com?

  Currently, we’re moving from example.wordpress.com to example.com, using the WordPress.org system.

  According to this, email subscribers are not transferred but there are alternatives to use your existing subscriber list.

  (Note that the thread refers to the Guided Transfer by WordPress.com staff, but I believe the information also applies to a do-it-yourself transfer.)

  Hello, My trouble looks similar but I am not sure??!

  I have parched my domain from wordpress.com (example.wordpress.com to example.com) and want to remove widget that shows wordpress.com links from side bar. I have tried to open widget link from dash board to inactivate them but I do not see any positive result. Any idea on how to remove them?
