  Hi, I’ve moved my blog from wordpress.com (lyleandpaige.wordpress.com) to a self-hosted WordPress site (www.momentsforthejourney.net). I want to move my wordpress.com followers (as well as the email followers) over to my new blog. Please can you tell me know how I do that? I have Jetpack installed on my new site.

  Many thanks.

  The blog I need help with is lyleandpaige.wordpress.com.

  I have migrated your subscribers and followers to your new site.

  Let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.

  Thank you so much! Is there any way to transfer my site stats?

  If your post IDs match up, I will be able to do that for you. If not, I cannot.

  I will look into that right now.

  I am sorry, but the post IDs for your new site do not match the IDs for your old site. Stats cannot be transferred.

  I wish I had better news. But the stats are based on the specific posts and if they do not match when we merge them, they will be massively incorrect.

  That’s ok. I really appreciate you taking the time to check it out for me. I decided just to copy the stats into a document. They’re a little hard to follow because the format of copy and pasting is bad, but as long as I still have them for a reference that’s ok. Again, thank you.
