  Hello

  I would like to migrate my followers that I have on a wordpress.com blog to a jetpack-connected self hosted wordpress but I change my wordpress account.

  Is it possible to migrate my followers ? If yes, how can I proceed ?

  Thank you for your help,

  Anna

  Yes but my problem is not addressed there because I changed my wordpress account ;D

  I should contact them. But funnel, I can’t seem to reach them except on the forum…

  Thank you for your reply !

  Hi there,

  To migrate WordPress.com followers to a self-hosted site I need 3 things:

  1. For the owner of the WordPress.com site to request it.

  2. The self-hosted site must have Jetpack installed and connected to the WordPress.com account.

  3. I need to know the actual URLs of the sites as it’s impossible to transfer subscribers if I don’t know between which sites.

  Thanks for the information. Your followers have been migrated. Note that if your followers still want to receive email notifications on the Jetpack site you’ll need to add the Jetpack subscriptions widget on that site and they’ll need to sign up there again. At the moment they will only see your new posts in the Reader.
