  I am moving my blog from a self-hosted blog to a WordPress.com blog. It is all set up. Now how can I move my subscribers? Everything on WordPress says I should contact them, but only paid premium members can contact them. Is there a way to do this without paying $100? Thank you!

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

  We are able to move subscribers between WordPress.com sites and self-hosted sites when the self hosted site is connected to the same WordPress.com account via Jetpack, and you were using the Jetpack subscriber features. I don’t see your self hosted site connected to this account. Were you using Jetpack on your self hosted site?

  I have Jetpack on the self-hosted site, but I had created a new wordpress.com account because I was having trouble with the other. I suppose that’s where things went wrong. I’m not sure if there’s anything that can be done in that case?

  Thanks for responding! This really helps!

  The two sites really need to be in the same account. If you disconnect Jetpack from your old account and reconnect it to this one I’ll be able to move the stats.

  I have made that change. Does it appear properly now?

  That’s what I needed. I’ve moved your subscribers.

  Note: This only moves the people who subscribed using Jetpack tools. If you had another subscriber plugin those won’t be moved.

  That’s good to know, thanks. And I see the comments also moved over. But the stats didn’t. Is there something else I need to do for the stats to transfer?

  Thank you so much for all of your help!!

  I just missed that you wanted the stats moved as well. I’ve moved them now so you are all set.
