  I recently moved my domain http://www.uwanma.com from WordPress hosting. I find that my WordPress site is still available as http://www.uwanma.wordpress.com and my followers are still there and not on my new domain address http://www.uwanma.com hosted elsewhere.

  a) Can you please move my followers?
  b) After (a) is done I would like to delete the http://www.uwanma.wordpress.com site. Or at least make it invisible to the public

  Thanks a lot.

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

  Hey there,
  Your new domain is now a WordPress.org site, so we can’t help you move your followers in this forum. Please note the differences between WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  This support document will guide you on moving your followers:

  After you transfer your followers, and want to delete your account, please refer to this support document for instructions:

  Delete a Website

  Please keep in mind that once you delete your wordpress.com domain, you can NEVER get it back, no exceptions.

  I hope this helps! Good luck. =)

  Hello again,
  I apologize for steering you in the wrong direction on transferring your followers. Please refer to this thread, specifically timethief’s response:
