Losing of followers
-
Hello. So i recently changed my blog URl from theartoflivingby.wordpress.com to http://www.paperbacksandpen.wordpress.com and i noticed today that all my previous followers have been wiped out of record. When new people followed, it did not add up either and disappeared after a while. At the same time, some people are seeing a different number of followers while subscribing / following through email.
I have really worked hard on this blog and losing all my followers is a real big set back. If there is any way to somehow restore that or tackle this problem, please do let me know. -

Hi there,
You haven’t lost any followers: If you look at your site’s Reader feed at https://wordpress.com/read/feeds/102744296 you’ll see the correct follower count there, and all those followers are still receiving your posts.
But the followers are not showing at https://wordpress.com/read/blogs/131350297, and that is where your stats is pulling the number from.
This can happen sometimes with an address change, but we’re not sure why it happens, and at the moment we have no way of fixing it. I realise this is frustrating, but you can rest assured that everyone who has subscribed to your site are still seeing your posts in their Reader feeds, and those who are subscribed via email are still being sent notifications there of new posts.

If the issue tends to happen a lot and there is no fix as of yet, maybe a sticky is warranted on the boards?
I have been looking at responses on this issue as far back as 2013. So, the problem been around a while.
