  I need to migrate my followers from https://hope.world/blog to my new dev site I am building here: https://wordpress-494619-2597113.cloudwaysapps.com/

  I submitted 2 requests last week through this site https://wordpress.com/help/contact but I have not recieved a reply. I know that a support member has to do this migration as I went through this before.

  Can you please help ASAP. Thank you!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there!

  Neither site is hosted here at WordPress.com, so you’ll need to contact Jetpack support in order to do this.

  Additionally, I know they will ask if the dev site URL is the final one or if it will change in the future.

  Jetpack’s subscriptions and stats are tied to a unique blog ID tied to the URL of the site when Jetpack is first connected. If you connect a temporary/development URL, changing it to a production URL at a later date will cause problems with Jetpack down the road. Therefore, they typically won’t transfer subscribers or merge stats until after the site has its final URL.

  If you have further questions, direct them to Jetpack support and they’ll be happy to help.

  I hope that clarifies things!
