  I have an updated version of word press and am unable to understand the forums help pages regarding how to migrate my followers to a secondary account.

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

  What are the URLs please?
  Are both sites hosted by WordPress.COM?

  Yes the first URL is:

  Which is the site that I want to transfer my followers to my new site:

  Thank you!

  Hello, can I have your help again!

  I have had this problem yesterday, and my followers from one blog aren’t being transferred automatically; the followers from (email visible only to moderators and staff) got moved yesterday to thetruthbehindfashion.wordpress.com but now that I have a few more followers on the first blog, they aren’t moving to my new blog instantly, is there a way to assure this happens?

  Thank you!

  The blog I need help with is thetruthbehindfashion.wordpress.com.

  Hi Charlotte!

  They aren’t moving to my new blog instantly, is there a way to assure this happens?

  New followers will not be moved automatically. Readers can still subscribe to your old blog provided it’s public. One solution would be to make charlottejoy17.wordpress.com private:

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/

  That way, your old site would not be publicly available any longer. Would that work?

  I went ahead and transferred the new followers on charlottejoy17.wordpress.com to thetruthbehindfashion.wordpress.com.
