  Hi,
  I had an original domain,
  alienideology.wordpress.com
  Due to some personal problems, I changed the site to the new domain
  alienideologyblog.wordpress.com (Adding blog at the end)
  The old domain still exists privately. I can still switch to that site.
  I’m hoping there is a way to move the new site back to the old domain along which all contents (posts, pages, customization, comments) and subscribers.
  Is that possible?

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

  Hi there,

  You can export the contents of alienideologyblog.wordpress.com by following these instructions:

  Export Your Website’s Content

  and then import them to alienideology.wordpress.com by following these instructions:

  Import a Website

  Make sure to switch the theme as well. alienideologyblog.wordpress.com uses the Baskerville 2 theme.

  If you have any other questions, just let me know and I’ll be happy to help.

  Thank you for replying.
  If I’m correct, exporting and importing the blog’s content doesn’t include the wordpress.com followers? If I export and import to alienideology.wordpress.com, then the site would have 0 followers?

  I was hoping for a way to transfer wordpress.com followers (Also Email followers, but that’s easier) between wordpress.com sites.

  Note: alienideology.wordpress.com is an empty site that I changed site address from.

  Thank you for helping!
  I am ready for that step. Do I need to make the new site public?
  (I imported and edited the new site)
  Also, I would like to know if the sites’ stats and posts’ likes are able to be transferred.

  @alienideology Sure. All of that in progress now, and should be done in the next several minutes. Cheers :)

  I think the likes of posts weren’t transferred. Is it possible to transfer those too? Sorry for the inconvenience.
  I can live with it if that’s not possible.
  Thank you guys so much!

  They aren’t transferable except through the rename tool. Sorry about that. Cheers!
