  Your stats will start over. But install Jetpack and staff will move your followers and subscribers over to your new site on wp.org. Please confirm when Jetpack is installed and subscribe to this topic so you will be notified when there is a response.

  I think I’m right about the stats resetting but staff will answer for sure. Now all you need is to wait patiently for staff to get to this modlook.

  See what Staff (csonnek) says here please:

  Since stats work on a time/date and per-post basis in addition to having an unique blog ID, it’s not as simple as a follower transfer. We are able to merge your stats from your old WordPress.com site to your new site upon request, but the transfer will only work if you exported your WordPress.com site in its entirety to your new site, otherwise we’re not able to perform the merge. Also, we can’t undo a merge after the fact so you need to be sure you want this to be done. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/moving-followers-to-the-new-blog-and-stats-updates-pls?replies=11#post-1304347

  You either imported all of the content or only part of the content. Which one was it?

  Hi there,

  I’ve moved your subscribers from glittermamawishes.wordpress.com to glittermamawishes.com as you requested.

  I’ve looked at your new site, and I’m verifying something with our Gurus to make sure it won’t cause a problem. I’ll get back to you on the stats merge as soon as I hear back from them.

  I hope that helps.

  Sorry, I didn’t mean to make you worry. I just had to verify that permalink structure would not be a problem since you are using a different structure than was used at WordPress.com. The Guru’s have put my mind at ease, so I’ll put your mind at ease. I can merge your stats for you.

  Can you verify that you want the stats from http://www.glittermamawishes.com/ merged over to http://glittermamawishes.com/ please? Once I get your verification, I’ll perform the merge for you.

  Oh no problem, just as well because I don’t understand a word of what you said lol, I’m a bit clueless and new to all these words :)
  Thanks so much for doing that for me and I’m delighted to hear my stats too from wordpress.com can be transferred, thanks so much

  Are you ready? Wait for it…. Ok, check your stats on the new site. You can see the enhanced stats on the WordPress.com main page at: https://wordpress.com/#!/my-stats/?blog=53859993&unit=1

  thesacredpath, I would love to do the same — transfer my subscribers/followers/likes to my self hosted WP.org blog. It would be a transfer from thebrightnessofbeing.wordpress.com to thebrightnessofbeing.com

  Your help would be much appreciated!

  Hi @jbros35,
  I have transferred your subscribers from thebrightnessofbeing.wordpress.com to thebrightnessofbeing.com as you requested.

  Please keep in mind that while your email subscribers will continue to receive email notifications of new posts as before, WordPress.com followers will only see new posts in the Reader. They will not receive email updates unless they subscribe to receive those on your new site.

  Happy blogging!
