  Can anyone help me transfer my email subscribers? I’ve moved from wordpress.com to .org and would hate to lose them all. I’ve seen other places where people were able to get help.

  Here is the new url: http://www.lifeloveandsugar.com/

  Thanks!!

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

  Download and install the JetPack plugin on your self hosted WordPress account. A WordPress.com staff member will have to help you transfer your WordPress.com email subscribers from your old site to the new one.

  Can you confirm the WordPress.com blog that has the subscribers you wish to migrate to your new site?

  Hi there, I’d be glad to transfer your subscribers for you. I noticed the site is currently connected to Jetpack under a temporary address:

  http://69.195.124.60/~lifelow9/

  Before I do the transfer, I strongly suggest you disconnect and reconnect to Jetpack through your WordPress.com account so that the account is under your permanent URL, http://www.lifeloveandsugar.com. You don’t need to reinstall the plugin, just disconnecting and reconnecting should be enough.

  Just let me know if you need further help.

  Thank you for your help!

  I have Jetpack installed. I just need the transfer. How do I get in touch with a staff member? I can’t seem to find contact info other than the forums.

  The wordpress.com blog is/was http://lifeloveandsugar.com. That’s basically the same as my self hosted one, but it now redirects to http://www.lifeloveandsugar.com (has www.).

  Thanks again for the help!!

  Hi there, I’m a staff member and would be glad to do the transfer for you.

  As I mentioned before, please disconnect and reconnect from Jetpack to set up the site on your permanent domain. Right now your Jetpack connection is showing as 69.195.124.60/~lifelow9/ in our system.

  Thanks!

  I’m sorry, I didn’t see the earlier one, before I responded! I deactivated then reactivated. Is that right?

  Thanks for your help!!

  No worries! Your subscribers and followers have been transferred as requested. Just a heads-up that any WordPress.com followers who opted to receive email updates will need to re-subscribe again on your new site through the Jetpack signup box, otherwise they’ll only see new posts in their Reader. Non-WordPress.com email subscribers will continue to get email updates.

  Just let me know if you need further help.
