  I have a bunch of e-mail subscribers (600+) when I go to the “users” section of my WordPress dashboard. However, I have installed JetPack and would like all those users transferred to JetPack where I only have a few subscribers (<100). I want to make one big list and have chosen JetPack. How do I do this?
  Thank you in advance.

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

  Flagged for the staff to help

  What is the base WordPress.COM blog you need the subscribers moved from?

  I’ve reposted this on WordPress.org. My issue is that I was using the built in e-mail subscriber list (where subscriibers appear as users in WordPress) and JetPack.
  I had thought since JetPack was by WordPress.com this was the right area to post but the bot seems to indicate otherwise.

  Heelo,
  You have posted to the correct support forum which is here.

  Please answer auxclass:

  What is the base WordPress.COM blog you need the subscribers moved from?

  Provided you have installed and activated the JetPack plugin http://jetpack.me on your WordPress.org install, and you post the relevant URL(s) into a forum thread, Staff will do the transfer of both subscribers and stats for you.

  OK, sorry. My blog is http://22Catholic.com.
  So I would be transferring those listed as subscribers to becoming JetPack subscribers. The transfer is within the same site.

  You must have JetPack installed and activated http://jetpack.me on your WordPress.org install for Staff to be able to do this for you.

  I thought it was activated. I open http://jetpack.me (via link from here) and it automatically shows me as logged in as Matthew (just like here). Then I go to JetPack on my dashboard and it says “Connected to WordPress.com”. What do I need to do so http://jetpack.me is active?

  Howdy Brother,

  If I understand your issue correctly, there isn’t a way to transfer users on a self-hosted WordPress site into Jetpack. You can add the Jetpack Subscription Widget (in Appearance->Widgets to start encouraging people to subscribe there; however, that’s the best option involving Jetpack.

  There is likely a way to export the users to upload to a different mailing list service, but that’s outside the scope of support we offer (as we offer it only for WordPress.com-hosted sites… more on the difference between WordPress.com and self-hosted sites: WordPress.com and WordPress.org).

  For self-hosted sites, the forums at http://wordpress.org/support/ can be really helpful.

  Please let me know if you have any questions.

  Peace!
