  I need to move my blog followers from uulafayette.wordpress.com to uuctc.org, our self-hosted site. I’ve installed Jetpack. Thanks for any assistance you can provide on this matter.

  Sorry to spam the forums, but the help document for this task says to contact WordPress for help with the last step of this job. It links here; I can’t find any other contact info to email WordPress directly.

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

  I’m in the same boat too. I need to move my email subscribers from thefancygeek.wordpress.com to my self-hosted site lefancygeek.com. I’ve installed Jetpack as well.

  Hopefully someone can assist us with this soon!

  I’m in the same boat as you guys are. Meanwhile, I posted an update with a link on my wordpress site to direct people to my self-hosted site.

  Nothing says we can’t do both, right?

  I’m very confused. The help on this issue specifically says to “contact us” for help with this issue, and then redirects to this forum there seems to be no way to get help. Is this a WordPress MO? I hope not.

  Ninaph, did you get any response? Christryon3, did you?

  WordPress folks, please help us with this individual issue, and then update your help file on this to be more precise about how to contact you to get this done. Thanks!

  Provided you have installed and activated the JetPack plugin http://jetpack.me on your WordPress.org install, and you post the relevant URL(s) into a forum thread, Staff will do the transfer of both subscribers and stats for you. Do that now please as I have tagged this thread for their attention.
