  I need to transfer my jetpack followers to my new self-hosted wordpress blog. I can’t figure out how to do it. Could you help me?

  Thanks!

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

  Hi,

  There is not a way to transfer followers; one of those features that would be ripe for abuse.

  My suggestion is to, once the new blog is setup, make a final post inviting your followers to visit your new blog and reaffirm their desire to follow you.

  Cheers!

  Hi,
  Actually, I might be wrong on this. Be sure to install Jetpack and have it activated.

  @ryanmoreno, Staff can transfer your followers as long as you have jetpack installed and it is connected to the account here that has the old blog on it. I’ll tag this thread for staff attention and hopefully they will be around shortly to take care of that for you.

  @thesacredpath – No problem. Glad I was misinformed on that point and thankfully only replied as such on one other thread (corrected and flagged).

  @ryan – My apologies for the confusion!

  @ryanmoreno could you please confirm the blog you’d like your followers moved from and the blog you’d like your followers moved to?

  Hi @katziya, can you please confirm that this is the blog you want your visitors transferred from: paleomodernadotcom.wordpress.com? I can then transfer your subscribers for you.

  Thanks!
