Traffic data, likes, followers migration from wordpress.com to wordpress.org

    Hello! I migrated the content from goodlifeoclock.wordpress.com to my official website goodlifeoclock.com but I noticed that the traffic, readers and followers have not been transferred.
    On my previous blog goodlifeoclock.wordpress.com I could see the likes people left under my posts, as well as the count sharings but those have not been transferred on my new website. The same for the followers, and I feel I can’t find my community anymore.
    Can the traffic data, readers, followers, likes be connected to my new website? I would like to reconnect with my community.
    Also, when I check the traffic on my new website via Jetpack I can only visualise the last two years of my blog and would love to find the same visualisation as in my old wordpress.com where also the world map with the visits was available.
    Another thing, I noticed that I still have traffic on my old website https://goodlifeoclock.wordpress.com/
    Some contents where shared on Pinterest. Yesterday a lady contacted me saying she found my recipe on my old blog. Why not in the new one as the recipe is the same? do you suggest to suspend the old blog to avoid confusion? In this case, how can I do?
    Another questions. Under my posts on the old blog I added the sharing buttons where the counts of sharings is visible. I would love the same with the right sharing traffic under my new blog. Is it possible?
    I feel that since I upgraded and migrated the content from my old blog I lost visibility and my community.
    Hope you can help me,
    Thank you in advance,
    Gianpiera

    Hi Gianpiera, here’s how to migrate your followers:
    http://jetpack.me/support/subscription-migration-tool/

    We can’t do much for old pinterest links. What you can do is redirect the old site to the new:
    https://wordpress.com/domains/add/site-redirect/

    Or if you don’t want that upgrade, you can simply make the old site private, but the redirect will help you get any traffic that would have headed there to your new site.

    We can merge the traffic for you if you’d like; please confirm.

    Hi Supermovia,

    I already redirected the old site to the new one via my web hosting Siteground.
    They migrated the whole content from wordpress.com to wordpress.org, but unfortunately I didn’t get the traffic and followers I had before. Could you help me to migrate the followers to my new website? Once done it, will I be able to see the likes, under my posts? Where will I find the followers on my new website?

    I would like to keep my website on wordpress.org via Siteground.
    What does imply the redirection from the old to the new site that you mentioned? Is that different from what Siteground did already? Is it a wordpress.com upgrade? Is it a charged service? Doing it, would my actual website be modified in the structure? I’ve been working a lot on it and don’t want to loose all the work done already.

    Thanks a lot for your support,
    Gianpiera

    Hi, let’s take this one step at a time actually. We aren’t able to migrate likes or social links.

    For the follower situation, did you try this yet?

    Hi Supernovia,
    I’ve migrated the followers, although I can’t find them anywhere.
    How about the likes under my posts?

    Another thing, I’ve noticed that I can’t moderate the comments. When I click on pending comments I can’t visualize them.
    Thanks in advance for your support,
    Gianpiera

    I’ve migrated the followers, although I can’t find them anywhere.

    I can see that I have transferred the followers to your new site 2 months ago already. It was 114 WordPress.com users and 72 email subscribers. Because of that, there are no followers on the old blog anymore and even though your transfer was successful, the actual transferred follower number was 0.
    You should see the followers transferred before though.

    How about the likes under my posts?

    This is not possible to transfer, those posts are now hosted elsewhere. You can only migrate the content but not the user’s reaction to those.

    Another thing, I’ve noticed that I can’t moderate the comments.

    For anything regarding your new site, goodlifeoclock.com, you’ll want to either contact your new host or write on the WordPress community forums at https://wordpress.org/support/forums/. We’re not able to help users with sites that are not hosted on our servers.

    Hello! Thank you so much for your reply.
    I managed to add the same like button (star) I had on my old goodlifeoclock.wordpress.com blog to my new wordpress.org website http://www.goodlifeoclock.com. I did it connecting the jetpack plugin. Now on my new website, on the tom menu of my dashboard I can read ‘readers’. That tab contains a list of blog I follow. But when I try to interact with them leaving likes of comment, I’m asked to connect to wordpress.com. Moreover, I’ve seen that that only wordpress.com accounts can live a like on my posts.
    Can I have the same interaction I had on wordpress.com also on wordpress.org?
    Thanks for your support

    The Like button is part of WordPress.com’s social network, so much like how a Facebook Like button would require a Facebook account, ours requires a WordPress.com account.

    As for your followers, you’ll be able to see them under https://wordpress.com/people
