  I have exported from by blog from wordpress.org to wordpress.com, and most content seems to have come over, except the subscribers. How do I transfer the subscribers to the new selfhosted blog?

  Staff can can move your email subscribers only. Followers using the WordPress.com Reader cannot be transferred. What’s required is:
  installation and activation of the JetPack plugin;
  posting both URLs into this forum thread;
  tagging the thread with modlook;
  subscribing to the thread so you are notified when Staff make the transfer.

  Modlook

  I have already installed and activated the JetPack plugin.
  The old blog is emilynaff.wordpress.com
  the new one is emilynaffphotography.com/EyeTravel

  Please transfer email subscribers.

  Thank you,
  Emily

  Thank you, where can I find the list of subscribers to verify?

  Verify what? The email subscribers have been moved. Those using the WordPress.com Reader cannot be transferred.

  I was trying to find the list of email subscribers. I figured it out, and found what I was looking for under site stats.

  @cbmateam Are you referring to lsibma.server295.com/dev/ ? that’s the only Jetpack site on your account.

  Hi there user @cbmateam,

  Can you confirm the Jetpack site you’d like to transfer your users to?
