  • Are these the ones who confirmed that they are not seeing your blog updates in Reader, or not receiving emails, or both?

    (this list should be fine, I don’t need more)

    I have no means of reaching those users to know. I was only able to reach one, sharonstonger (I didn’t list her because I was able to contact her elsewhere and she’s now signed up via email instead). I am assuming they are in a similar state as she was because they have not commented since the transfer. A number of them used to comment semi-regularly.

    Added modlook tag. Post above is newest

  • Ok, I looked into the users you listed, and they are all following the blog via the Reader as an RSS feed, so they don’t have any email options.

    This can happen if Jetpack is disabled at the time we make the transfer, or if you’re using a very outdated version of Jetpack.

    In this case, they would need to unfollow and re-follow the blog.

    If you post, they won’t receive an email, but they’ll still see it in their WordPress.com Reader, so you can still notify them by making a new post.

    (also, there’s no need to keep adding the modlook tag)

    The thing is, I don’t believe that was their previous setting when I was under wordpress. They likely don’t check the readers and are expecting email notifications. That’s how it was for sharonstonger.

  • At this point, there is no way to undo whatever happened. They were reverted to standard RSS subscriptions during the transfer, which usually happens if Jetpack is either disabled or very outdated during the transfer.

    I’d recommend just making a post, and they might notice. Some had quite a few non-email subscriptions, so they probably still check their Reader.
