  I need to transfer my stats and followers to WordPress.org. I recently just switched my website http://www.onestophotspot.net from wordpress.com to the wordpress.org platform. I already transferred over my post, comments, tags, etc., but I need my followers and stats to switch over too. I read in the forums, that I can request this here.

  I also already set up the jetpack with wordpress.org. When I log into my http://www.onestophotspot.wordpress.com site, I see that I have the option to look at both the jetpack and wp.com stats, however my old stats are not listed there. I only see it at the bottom of the dashboard.

  My stats were 32,624 with 410 followers. Can you switch this over for me?

  Hi there, I transferred your stats and followers to your new blog at onestophotspot.net, as requested.

  You’ll notice that not all of the 410 followers on your WordPress.com blog were transferred. That’s because that follower count includes your social media followers who are updated via Publicize. The transfer moves your WordPress.com and email followers, but you’ll need to set up Publicize on your self-hosted site if you want your social media followers to stay up to date: http://jetpack.me/support/publicize/

  Your email followers will continue to receive email updates, and your WordPress.com followers will continue to see your new posts in the Reader. If your WordPress.com followers would like to receive email updates, as well, they can subscribe via email on your new blog.

  Please let me know if you have any questions about that!
