  Hi,

  I recently moved to a self hosted .org site and wanted to import/move my followers from the wordpress.com blog. Is this possible? I have Jetpack activated on my .org but unable to move my followers. Please help.

  Thanks,

  Hi!

  You should be able to do this following the instructions here:

  Can you give that a try?

  Hey, thanks for the link. I do have Jetpack activated and the Subscribers module as well. However, I seem to be stuck when I’m looking for ‘migrate followers’ in ‘settings’ on my Jetpack enabled site. What am i doing wrong?

  I don’t think you’re doing anything wrong! I just tried from your account and something seems a bit odd. I believe the issue might be that your domain is registered here but mapped elsewhere.

  Either way, I can do this for you right away. Just to confirm, you would like your subscribers moved from travellingidesofmarch.wordpress.com to travellingidesofmarch.com. Correct?

  The domain is registered on WordPress.com however I moved the hosting recently, to Bluehost. Perhaps that’s why?

  Yes please, I’m trying to move my followers/subscribers from travellingidesofmarch.wordpress.com to travellingidesofmarch.com. Thank you!

  I believe that is why. Thanks for clarifying! I’ve moved your followers as requested. Your followers can now be seen here:
