  I need to transfer my stats and followers from https://lummifilm.wordpress.com/

  To my new self hosted blog at dalneitzel.com

  Hi there, I’d be glad to help you with this.

  Your self-hosted site is currently connected to Jetpack on this domain:

  0185aae.netsolhost.com/wordpress1/

  I strongly suggest that you get that changed to dalneitzel.com before I do the transfer, otherwise you may see issues with stats and followers.

  Let me know when it’s done and I’ll recheck before doing the transfer. Thanks!

  I believe the connection is now to dalneitzel.com. If that seems okay would you please go ahead and make the transfer of stats and followers?
  Thanks!

  Hi there, our system is still showing 0185aae.netsolhost.com/wordpress1/

  Have you disconnected and reconnected Jetpack from your WordPress.com account to reset the connection?

  Okay…disconnected and reconnected jetpack. How does it look now?

  Yes, that did it!

  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.

  Best of luck with your self-hosted site!

  The stats didn’t transfer. What do we have to do to get the old stats over here?

  Hi there, stats can only be merged if the content and post IDs of both sites are the same, so could you verify whether you did a straight export of content from your WordPress.com site to the self-hosted site before I go ahead? Thanks!

  Yes. It was a straight export of content.

  Great – I’ve gone ahead and merged your stats as requested.
