  Staff will do the transfer of both subscribers and stats for you. I have tagged this thread for their attention. Please subscribe to the thread so you are notified when they respond and please be patient while waiting.

  I have also moved to incorporate this blog on my own website. How can I get my subscriber information so I can contact them? Thanks.

  @collettemarie
  Provided you have installed and activated the JetPack plugin http://jetpack.me on your WordPress.org install, Staff will do the transfer of both subscribers and stats for you. However it appears you are expecting Staff to be able to transfer them to a squarespace site and that’s not possible.

  Thanks @timethief There isn’t a plugin menu on my dashboard which means Jetpack is already being used.

  “Staff will do the transfer of both subscribers and stats for you. However it appears you are expecting Staff to be able to transfer them to a squarespace site and that’s not possible.”

  Are you saying they can transfer the info to me and cannot transfer to squarespace because it is a policy or that it is technically impossible to do the transfer? If I get the info will I be able to do it myself? Please clarify. Thanks.

  @aravindsivaraman-

  Hi there,

  I have responded to you here:

  https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/moving-wordpresscom-followers-and-stats-1?replies=2

  Long story short, your followers have been transferred!

  @collettemarie-

  Hi there,

  I see that you did not activate Jetpack on your WordPress.org site. As @timethief stated please install and activate Jetpack on your WordPress.org install – not your WordPress.com account.

  Once that is done I can transfer them for you.

  I am picking this up and managing it for my girlfriend, Collette. I don’t know what you mean by ‘wordpress.org install’

  I downloaded Jetpack but cannot figure out how to “install” it and then activate it on wordpress.org site. What are you referring to? Thanks for your help.

  Jetpack is a plugin that you can activate for every WordPress.org self-hosted site. It should look something like this:

  

  Once it’s connected to your WordPress.com account let me know and I can transfer the followers for you.

  If you have any questions about this please go to the support community at WordPress.org:

  I’m trying to get to SquareSpace.

  This was missed in the above thread. Is it technically possible or is it against policy?

  HI Collette,

  I’m sorry but we cannot transfer subscribers to Squarespace.

  Thank you!
