  I’m in the process of moving my Bluehost WP site to a Godaddy WP site. I’m working on the new site right now and want to get it right before changing the DNS record and making the new site live. What I can’t figure out is how to migrate the followers of my Bluehost WP site (that I can see in jetpack) to the new Godaddy WP site (which has jetpack installed).

  The (soon to be) old (bluehost) site is:
  transadvocate.com

  The new (godaddy) site is (for the moment, until the DNS is updated):
  transadvocate.tfahouston.com

  Both sites are connected to my WP.com management. When I follow the migration instructions, I come to this form and can go no further:

  How can I migrate my followers?

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

  Neither site is hosted by wordpress.COM. What you are looking for is Jetpack support.

  We provide support only for wordpress.COM hosted sites. Our support docs do not apply to
  (1) local installs of wordpress.ORG software on your own server or
  (2) wordpress.ORG software installs on paid hosting, and we do not provide support for them at wordpress.COM.

  Also, note that we do not provide Jetpack support https://jetpack.me/support/ for sites linked to wordpress.COM accounts with the Jetpack plugin so they display on the My Sites wordpress.com account page.

  Some Jetpack solutions are here http://jetpack.me/support/

  Others are in the Jetpack support forum at WordPress.org
  http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/jetpack

  However, if help cannot be found at either one then they can file a Jetpack support ticket here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/?jetpack=needs-service

  WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  If you are referring to a site that is not hosted here, and if you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG account, then click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right-hand corner of the page that opens, https://wordpress.org/support/register.php so you can post to the support forums there.

  WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page
