I want to combine two of my sites that are under my wordpress blog and keep all followers

  • Great, thanks. I’ll do that now.

  • I’ve migrated the followers over.

    Are you going to redirect the old sites to the new one or do you want to just make them private?

    Or, are you going to keep the existing sites for something?

    Let me know; once the sites are either redirected or marked private, I can migrate their stats over if you’d like.

    I have no need to keep them. I was just going to delete them once everything is completed from your end. Do I need to redirect for some reason or can I just delete them once you are done transferring everything over including stats?

    Thank you!

    What about the likes? Will they be transferred over too? The likes by other bloggers? I thought they would be transferred as well.
    Thanks!

  • @tsoutreach Hmm, social likes for Facebook and what not will not transfer. If the other likes didn’t transfer I’m not sure whether they can.

    Do you want me to proceed with moving the stats over?

    Regarding the redirects: if your old sites get plenty of traffic from existing links on out the web, you can either send that traffic to the new sites, or you can send it to a page saying the site no longer exists. Let me know what you’d like to do.

    Hello, yes, I understand- no social sharing transfers like FB, etc, but I was referring to what you stated here- “I can help transfer content of those sites to a single site, and I can help transfer WordPress.com likes, WordPress.com followers, and WordPress.com stats. “.

    I was referring to the wordpress.com likes as you stated above. Is this part of the stats? Can these be transferred?

    Not going to redirect, will just delete the old sites once you state its ok to do so after you transfer everything that is left. So yes, please transfer over stats and whatever else is left.

    yes, thank you again so much!

  • @tsoutreach I thought they could, but I’m not sure now whether they can move within multiple sites on our servers. They *might* move when I move the site stats. I’m going to go ahead and merge stats now.

    OK thank you. Could you let me know once you are done so I may delete the old sites? Thank you again for all of your help. I truly do appreciate it.
    Best~

    And you are pretty sure there is no way to transfer WordPress blogger likes?

  • I have confirmed likes cannot be transferred from one blog to another. Sorry for my mistake there.

    The stats are merged though, so you can either delete the old sites or deactivate them at wordpress.com/settings

    Just bear in mind, if you delete the sites, their addresses will be permanently deactivated. You won’t be able to re-register them later. So if you think you may ever want to use the old addresses (even for buying a redirect) please only make them private.
