  I have transferred the blog posts from 2 of my blogs (manewales.wordpress.com/ and mammazel.wordpress.com/) to my wordpress site. I would love to take my followers and subscribers with and have my full stats information transferred from my old blogs to my new website. Your help will be greatly appreciated.

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

  Hello there!

  Once you download Jetpack (for free!) and install it on your self-hosted site’s server, you can move your subscribers from WordPress.com to WordPress.org.

  Here is a link to download Jetpack:
  http://jetpack.me

  And here is the information about transferring subscribers:

  Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks much!

  Thank you. I’m however more lost than before. lomi.co.za is also a wordpress site (Its wordpress url is lomicreations.wordpress.com). As I understand it, jetpack can only be used to transfer to a self-hosted site.

  Is it possible to also move the old blog statistics to the new site?

  You are absolutely correct! I’m so sorry to cause confusion! I thought you were transferring to a self-hosted site via WordPress.org.

  I can move your subscribers for you. Because this is a permanent move, could you confirm for me which site you want these followers to come FROM, and which you want them moved TO?

  Once I have the okay from you to start the process, I will.

  Thanks very much!

  Thanks a million. My bad as well. I’m not very technically inclined and only realised once I read your links on jetpack that I should have given you the wordpress url and not my domain name.

  I actually need 2 moves (I’m trying to merge my 2 different existing blogs onto my new one). I want to move followers from manewales.wordpress.com/ to lomicreations.wordpress.com. I also want to move them from mammazel.wordpress.com/ to lomicreations.wordpress.com.

  Hoping this is possible.

  Hi again!

  Thank you so much for the clarification :)

  I have moved your followers from mammazel.wordpress.com to lomicreations.wordpress.com. There were 13 all together.

  The problem with transferring from manewales.wordpress.com tolomicreations.wordpress.com, is that your user name, momzel, is not listed as the owner of that first site.

  I am going to send a note confirming blog ownership to the administrative email address listed for the site, manewales.wordpress.com. Once you get it, please confirm that you own the site and that I may transfer over the subscribers.

  Thanks very much! All the best to you!

  Thank you so much.

  I have replied to your e-mail.

  Is it possible to merge the site stats as well?

  Hi there! I responded via private email and you’ll see more information there. But the short answer is…yes, I was able to merge your stats :)

  I’ve been dreading merging the blogs, but with your help it turned out to be a breeze!

  Thanks again.
