  I’m currently trying to move my wordpress followers from my old blog (www.mylifeonlinexx.wordpress.com) to my new blog (www.beccandbeyond.wordpress.com). I was told by the WordPressdotcom Twitter that this needed staff help and to post on here asking for it.

  Many thanks, becca

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

  Hi Becca,

  Thanks for posting here.

  As transferring followers removes them from the site, we need this request to come from the owner of the site losing the followers. So can you please log in as your mylifeonlinexx account and just confirm for me? Then I can take care of this for you.

  Hi,
  Thank you so much! This is the account I would like the followers to be taken from.

  Thanks for confirming. I’ve moved your followers to the new site, so they will now see that site in their Reader and/or email notifications instead of the old one.

  One final question:
  Will the stats on my new blog (this blog) show all of my 1,700+ followers (from my old blog)? Currently it only shows 60 followers.

  Never mind! They show on the desktop version of WordPress, just not in the mobile app!

  Try restarting your mobile device. That should force a refresh.

  I can move the actual site stats for you as well, if you want. That way you’ll still have the historic view data for any content that you migrated over to the new site. Just let me know.
