  Hello,
  I need to have subscribers’ email addresses from our old site to a new site. Both sites are WordPress.com sites. There may be a couple of subscribers who have already subscribed on the new site, so if that can be taken into account, that will be wonderful.

  Old site: friendsofthehklibrary.wordpress.com
  New site: hkfol.org

  Thank you so very much!

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

  I can help you with this, but since the sites are owned by different WordPress.com accounts, I need verification from both that this is what you want. If you could have the owner of the other site login and confirm that they want the transfer as well I can do this for you.

  Hi – I am the owner of hkfol.org. yes, please go ahead and transfer all subscribers to this new site. By the way, there may be a few people who have already subscribed on their own. Is there any way you can NOT duplicate the same address in that case?

  Just out of curiosity, is there any way we can see these addresses?
  Thank you.

  I’ve moved the subscribers, The system automatically removes duplicates, so you don’t have to worry about that.

  Just out of curiosity, is there any way we can see these addresses?

  Your stats page includes a list of all of your WordPress.com and Email followers in the “Followers” section.

  Let me know if you have any more questions!

  Thank you!
  But, “followers” section shows zero for the old site and only 2 (including hkfol) for the new site. I know there were about 26 on old site and a few on the new site before your transporting from the old site. What am I missing?
  Thank you for all your help.

  Please disregard my last reply. I didn’t realize there was a drop down selection for email, apart from wordpress.com! Now I see all email subscribers. Thank you for your help!
