  Good Day!

  I’m unable to migrate my followers from my https://wheretogowisconsin.wordpress.com page to my new self hosted page https://wheretogowisconsin.com. I have Jetpack subscriptions but it does not offer the migration service that I found in my research. Bluehost will not help with this transfer and they thought that WordPress Support should be able to help.

  When possible, can someone please review if this can be done?

  Thank you in advance,

  Dawn Braun

  Hi @

  This is definitely something that can be done. Migrating followers is done using the JetPack Subscription Migration Tool. There are step-by-step instructions here:

  I am also adding a modlook tag to the sidebar so that a staff member can take a look and assist if necessary. Have a great day!

  Hi –

  I’ve initiated the migration of followers from the old, to the new site. It should wrap up soon. Cheers!

  Good Morning!
  I was working on resolving an issue with the comment form and was told to deactivate my plugins. Once I reactivated my plugins I found that my subscriber count went to 0 and earlier it read 13.

  Is there a way to re-transfer those followers?

  Hi there,

  I was able to transfer your followers again.

  Please let me know if you don’t see them on your new site.
