    l have recently changed my blog from wordpress.com to wordpress.org.

    My blog is baconandjackrussells.com.

    Today my link is still wrong, this is what subscribers see when they subscribe to my blog or when they log in. Can you help advise what is the issue?

    When they click on the website link, it is incorrect and an error message appears.

    This is what they see in their email – and it appears as spam.

    Howdy, thanks for reporting this. It should be cleared up if you disconnect Jetpack and then reconnect it to WordPress.com. That will update the database with the new, proper site address.

    If disconnecting and reconnecting to WordPress.com doesn’t sort it out please do let me know. Thanks!

    HI Andrew,

    Thank you for your advice. We tried disconnecting and reconnecting to WordPress com and it works – it shows the proper link now.

    However today i discovered 3 more issues… could it be that the disconnecting of the jetpack caused this issue?

    – I logged on today and was surprised to see that my site stats are missing altogether. It only registers today’s views and with only 1 new follower. The last I checked yesterday (wordpress com has transferred over my followers for me), i had 340. They are missing today.
    Maybe the disconnection of the jetpack cancelled out the site stats??

    – I scheduled for a new post this morning and my friend who follows my blog said he has received the email notification. It seems that some followers can get and others cannot. I did not receive any notification this morning myself from the blog. An example of 2 email addresses that did not receive are
    – (email visible only to moderators and staff)
    – (email visible only to moderators and staff)

    – When i transferred wordpress com to org, the likes from the previous posts did not get transferred over. Is there a way to transfer them over?

    Thank you for help.
