How can I move to a self-hosted WordPress blog my old stats?

  • Unknown's avatar

    First of all, hello! My name is María and I have a blog called Rebeautys.com (I have an external dominium but you could access it also at rebeautys.wordpress.com).

    At the moment I have it at wordpress.com but I want to move it to a different server, having my own instalation of WordPress 3.9.1. I have carefully readed instructions for the exportation and importation process but I still have some doubts I’d like to solve before doing it. (Of course I tried to look for it before asking but I couldn’t find it, please bear with me I hope I’m not wrong when I say no one said it before in the forum, even if I find it a little weird… I beg your pardon if I’m wrong).

    1. Is there a way I can export also my stats from the WordPress.com to WordPress.org?
    2. When I finish the import process from the new selfhosted WordPress instalation, will all the moved contents still be in the WordPress.com server as a copy or they will be deleted?

    Hope I could explain my doubt clearly as I am not a native English speaker… thank you very much in advance

    Hey María!

    Please see my answers below:

    Is there a way I can export also my stats from the WordPress.com to WordPress.org?

    Of course! First, I’ll just need you to connect your self-hosted blog to Jetpack following the instructions here:

    http://jetpack.me/support/getting-started-with-jetpack/

    Once you’ve imported all of your content and are ready to make the switch, I’m happy to transfer over your stats for you.

    When I finish the import process from the new selfhosted WordPress instalation, will all the moved contents still be in the WordPress.com server as a copy or they will be deleted?

    Your content will essentially be copied onto your self-hosted server provided you’re following the instructions here:

    http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#moving-to-wordpress-org

    It will all still be available at WordPress.com at rebeautys.wordpress.com unless you choose to delete that site (which is a separate process).

    Let me know if you have any additional questions!

    Then… I finally did the big step! I’d like to move my stats from http://www.rebeautys.com to rebeautys.com as soon as you can! May you help me please?

    I was really nervous to do this as I’m not a pro, but I really feel happy now ! :) Thank yoy for your help and support in this :)

    Hi there!

    I’ve moved the stats from rebeautys.wordpress.com to rebeautys.com so you should see all of your historical site data on your self-hosted site now.

    I noticed you still have the Domain Mapping upgrade active for rebeautys.com. Would you like me to remove that from your account so you’re no longer charged?

    Lastly, would you like me to move your subscribers as well to your new self-hosted site?

    Just reply back to confirm!

    Great! :) Thank you! I just noticed the historical date transfer, thank you! :)

    It would be really great if you could transfer my suscribers and remove my Domain Mapping upgrade, ¡thank you! :)

    Hi María,

    I see that Carolyn helped you via email with your subscribers, so you’re all set with those.

    I just removed your domain mapping upgrade and sent you a refund for that upgrade’s renewal. You should see the refund come through in the next week or so.

    Just let us know if we can help with anything else! :)
