  I’m trying to move my email subscribers from my wordpress.com site to my new self-hosted wordpress.org site and I’ve been reading on forums that I need a (free) guided transfer.

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

  It is different than what we call a “Guided Transfer”, but I can help you get that done.

  What is your old site and your new site?

  My old site is http://thecavalierstrategy.com/ and my new site is currently http://69.195.124.133/~thecava3

  http://69.195.124.133/~thecava3 looks like a temporary or development domain. Can you please disconnect Jetpack and reconnect to your permanent domain? Once that is done, I can migrate your followers for oyu.

  What can you do while it’s in the development domain in terms of follower migration?

  I can’t use thecavalierstrategy.com domain yet because we just sent out an email clicking through to that current site (currently hosted by wordpress.com, not .org) and the development site isn’t completely done yet for a full launch.

  Transferring subscribers is the last thing you want to do before you start posting on your new site.

  Get everything else set up and then post to this thread whenever you are ready. I’ll get an alert and can help you migrate.
