    PLEASE help me migrate my subscribers to the new self hosted site. yes, I’ve read all your suggested articles and none of it is working. Yes I have the jetpack and it is connected with subscribers turned on in a widget on the sidebar.

    my old blog is http://www.homegrownhostess.wordpress.com

    new one, hosted by bluehost, http://www.homegrownhostess.com

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

    Hey thanks so much for your help- I tried that and it told me that I can’t do that without being the owner. Its so strange since I double checked and made sure I’m logging into the old wordpress.com account and listing myself in both platforms as administrator. No one else has ever been the owner/creator.

    That is strange. As I’m not entirely certain why you’re encountering that error, I’m happy to complete the transfer for you. I do need confirmation that you want the followers from homegrownhostess.wordpress.com to be migrated to your self-hosted, Jetpack site, homegrownhostess.com/.

    Let me know if this is the case and I can manually transfer your subscribers. Thanks much!

    Hey there!
    No problem. I took care of your follower migration this morning. I moved 109 WordPress.com subscribers and 4 email subscribers (113 total) to your new, self-hosted site.

    It may take a couple hours for these numbers to appear in your stats, but they should show up quite soon.

    Just a heads up, only your site’s followers are moved during this migration. Facebook and Twitter followers are not.

    Let me know if you have any other questions. Cheers!
