    Hi staff-doublebassd,
    Thanks, Sorry for late reply and incomplete response.

    jetpack URL – http://www.bishalbaishya.com
    wordpress.com – baishyabishal.wordpress.com

    I want to upgrade wordpress.com after the migration. I wish you could help me with stats and other necessary migration too not possible while using export option. I did the necessary export possible by XML option, will wait for your end so I can upgrade wordpress.com site.

    Thanks and Regards
    Bishal Baishya

    Adding to reply, my main aim is to have everything back in wordpress.com after the upgrade, I will switch WordPress one to custom domain http://www.bishalbaishya.com and retain as much of self-hosted setup as much possible.

    I already migrated content as much I can, also wish jetpack stats and followers migrated too if possible after which I will enable the google analytics and hope I can somehow migrate that for this site too. Will try.

    If You suggest something about this, it will be really helpful. Was planning the Premium plan.

    Regards,
    Bishal

    Hello there,

    Many thanks for these details.

    To move the site http://www.bishalbaishya.com over to WordPress.com, you would need to follow these instructions here: https://wordpress.com/support/moving-from-self-hosted-wordpress-to-wordpress-com/

    The upgrade will take place prior to the migration and it’s the business plan that will be required. https://wordpress.com/pricing/

    Once done, you can reach out for assistance here, for help migrate the stats: https://wordpress.com/help/contact

    Once migrated, the domain can then be connected as per: https://wordpress.com/support/domains/connect-existing-domain/

    I hope this helps.

    Hi @aleone89
    I did migrate the content using option 2 in the link you mentioned (As I already said above).
    I do not intend to migrate any custom plugins or themes. The only thing I need back first is the subscribers. I have a few questions,

    1. Will it be possible before the upgrade or do I need to do an upgrade prior to this?

    2. And won’t Premium or Personal plans work, if I want to migrate followers?

    3. After subscriber migration, can you migrate stats too in the same Personal or Premium plan?

    Regards, Bishal

    Hi @bishalbaishya, we can merge (not migrate) stats. We can move subscribers as well. This won’t require any paid plan, however, you will need a paid plan to connect your domain. I’d recommend that so you don’t lose any existing links on the web.

    Let us know whether you have more questions, or whether you’re ready. Thanks!

    Hi @supernovia, thanks.
    I request for merging stats and moving subscribers. From http://www.bishalbaishya.com to baishyabishal.wordpress.com

    I am connecting the domain soon after you are completed with it. I migrated all content, just waiting for this part so I can finally connect domain and do necessary customisations. Thanks :-)

    Regards, Bishal

    Thanks for confirming.

    I’ve migrated your subscribers, and merged your stats, so it should now be safe to disconnect Jetpack, take your site offline, and connect/move the domain to your WordPress.com site.
