  Seems that I have to post in the forum in order for customer service to do something that the forum said they need to do… silly.

  I want to move email subscribers from withinaquaterinch.wordpress.com to withinaquarterinch.com

  I have jetpack installed.

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

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

  Hi – and thanks.
  Only a few were transferred- there are still 3,859 email subscribers left to transfer.
  You can see this on the top left of this site: (old)
  withinaquarterinch.wordpress.com

  The top right of this site:
  withinaquarterinch.com(new) shows that only 242 were transferred.

  How do we get the rest moved over?

  The number of followers in the follow widget on withinaquarterinch.wordpress.com include Facebook and Twitter followers. These can’t be transferred.

  do you know of any way that information was collected and can be accessed to import into the new site?

  This comes directly from your Facebook and Twitter profile and is included in the Follow Blog Widget on WordPress.com, but not available to self-hosted sites.

  Alternatively you can use the ‘Share a link’ Twitter Button: https://twitter.com/about/resources/buttons#tweet

  and the Facebook Like Box widget, which is available in Jetpack.
