  I have been with wordpress.com for a while but decided a move to hostgator was right for my site. Currently my domain is registered at wordpress with the DNS pointed to Hostgator.

  My site was recently transferred to hostgator from WordPress but my blog followers are not showing up. Is there a way I can transfer the blog followers from wordpress.com to hostgator?

  Thanks for any help or advice offered.

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

  I have flagged this for the staff to help

  Have you installed and configured the jetPack Plugin? That is needed for the subscribers to be transferred

  Auxclass thanks for responding.

  I do have jetpack installed and configured.

  I hope there is a way to do this and thanks for flagging my thread for staff help.

  Howdy,

  You’re all set now. Your followers have been migrated and stats merged. One particular thing to note is that your stats page on WordPress.com listed your Twitter followers along side your blog followers while Jetpack only displays blog followers.

  Please let us know if you have any questions or need anything else. Congrats on your new site!
