  Hello,

  We went to a self hosting implementation of our blog, watchguardwire and used jetpack to reconnect to our followers. We have decided to go back to a wordpress.com hosted site and need to have our followers reconnected. How is that accomplished?

  Thank you,

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

  Hi there,

  Provide me the site URL of your Jetpack site and the WordPress.com site you want them add to.

  Cheers!

  My self-hosted is offline currently.

  It would only work if you have Jetpack active on your self-hosted site. Please activate it and I can transfer them.

  I’m curious why the inactive site needs to be spun up again. Does jetpack actually port over contact info to the self hosted site?

  The followers would be coming from your Jetpack plugin, so if that is disabled I wouldn’t be able to transfer over the followers.

  Understood. I’ll get that spun up ASAP
