  I moved from wordpress.com to managed wordpress hosting at Godaddy and connected my site to jetpack but its not pulling all the stats from the wordpress.com and I am not sure if the subscribers moved when I connected jetpack.

  The stats from texasepiscopalian.wordpress.com migrated to TexasEpiscopalian.com please!

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

  Hi there,

  I can move your followers and stats from texasepiscopalian.wordpress.com over to http://www.texasepiscopalian.com for you.

  Once they are moved, your email followers will continue to receive email updates, and your WordPress.com followers will continue to see your new posts in the Reader. If your WordPress.com followers would like to receive email updates, as well, they can subscribe via email on your new blog.

  Please let me know if you have any questions about that! If it all sounds ok to you, please reply to confirm and I’ll go ahead and move them over for you.

  Thanks for confirming! I just moved over your stats and followers, so you’re all set with that. :) Just let me know if I can do anything more to help.

  Hi, sorry to high jack this post but I’m looking for the exact same thing. I have moved my site from wordpress.com to private hosting using wordpress. I transfered all my content but have lost my 1.8 million hits. New site name is http://www.twinstickgaming.com, old space is now http://www.twinstickgaming.wordpress.com

  Please help!

  Hi mikejbutcher,

  Usually it’s best to start a new forum thread for requests like this — that helps us make sure we don’t lose track of your request or get it mixed up with another user’s request (even when you need help with the same issue). But since you’re already here, I can certainly help you with this. :)

  However, I noticed that the new self-hosted site at http://www.twinstickgaming.com is linked to a different WordPress.com account. Can you please either unlink that blog from that account and link it to your mikejbutcher account, or reply to this thread from the other account to confirm your request? Once I get that confirmation I can go ahead and move your followers and stats over for you. Thanks!

  Sorry for jumping in on this thread.

  How do I disconnect my other wordpress profile? Is it simply a case of disconnecting jetpack?

  Yep, you can disconnect Jetpack from WordPress.com in the self-hosted blog’s dashboard, and then connect it again to this account. Just let me know when you do that and then I can move those followers and stats over for you.

  I’ve connected my new site to this account via Jetpack now. Its showing in my blogs section. Is there anything else you need me to do?

  Thanks

  I think I’ve done something wrong as I now cannot login using http://twinstickgaming.com/wp-login.php. I keep getting a 403 forbidden error?

  I was changing a setting in ‘Reading’ when it happened. I can access my wordpress.com version of the site.

  For help resolving this, I’d recommend contacting your host or checking the WordPress.org support forums here:

  http://wordpress.org/support/

  Since that site is self-hosted, there’s not much the staff here at WordPress.com can do to help resolve that access issue. If the change you made in your settings was to your site’s URL, this WordPress.org support page may help you get that issue fixed:

  http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL

  As far as moving your followers and stats over to that site, everything is ready for the move. Would you like me to do that now or wait until you get this other issue resolved first?

  Hi, would it be ok to hold on the stats transfer until I resolve this redirect issue?

• 

  rachelmcr · Member · Jul 18, 2014 at 11:11 am

  Sure, not a problem! Just let me know when you’re ready for the transfer and I can take care of it for you.

  Hi rachelmcr, I finally got my redirect issue sorted. Could I please have all my lovely stats now?

  Thanks.

  Alrighty! I moved those stats and your followers over to your new site, so you’re all set there. Just let me know if you have any questions. :)
