  Hi,

  I’ll be happy to move your subscribers to your new self-hosted site – you’ll need to install the Jetpack plugin so I can do so. Let me know once that is installed, and I’ll move the subscribers over.

  Hi,

  I would like to migrate subscribers from our old site at 1and1 to our new site http://natgreeneflyfishers.wordpress.com. Do you know if that can be done. Is it easier to send a blast out from the old site requesting sign ups on the WordPress site?

  Thanks, Laura

  I’m sorry but this thread pertains to moving subscribers from .wordpress.com blogs to WordPress.org installs. Staff can transfer email subscribers after the bloggers have installed the JetPack plugin and activated it on their WordPress.org installs.

  What would be the correct forum? Is JetPack a free add on to WordPress.com and is that what I would need?

  There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.COM blogs and we bloggers cannot install any plugins. JetPack is a plugin for WordPress.ORG installs.
