Transferring WordPress Subscribers to Self Hosted Blog
-
Hello! I’ve just transferred my WordPress.com website (www.ForwardWalking.com) to a self-hosting service.
I’ve installed Jetpack on the self-hosted site, but I haven’t been able to transfer the 1,000+ subscribers from WordPress to the new site (which still uses the WordPress platform). How do I do this?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

As you have installed and activated the JetPack plugin http://jetpack.me on your WordPress.org install, and you posted the relevant URL(s) into a forum thread, Staff will do the transfer of both subscribers and stats for you. I tagged this thread for their assistance. Please subscribe to it so you are notified when they respond and please be patient while waiting.

I can help you with that. At the moment, I’m seeing jetpack connected to http://litstone.com/domains/forwardwalking/ is that your final URL for that site? Or is it a temp or development URL?
Before transfering your followers, you need have your site connected to jetpack at its final location.

Thank you! We just BARELY got it transferred to the new host (as in, within the last hour). So I believe that if you were to go to ForwardWalking.com right now you would see it at its final location.
Would you still be able to help with the subscribers/followers?

I’m seeing two jetpack connected sites.
1: http://litstone.com/domains/forwardwalking/
2: http://brushfiresofliberty.comSo you may need to disconnect and reconnect to ForwardWalking.com if that is what you are going to use.
Let me know.

So I just disconnected and reconnected ForwardWalking.com. Did that help?
I’m also going to delete that brushfiresofliberty.com site.

That did it.
I have migrated your subscribers and followers to your new site.
Let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.

Sweet!!! Thanks! Does it take a while for the subscribers, followers and statistics to all show on the blog?

We’ve run across an issue with the cache not updating that info accurately. The subscribers are there, they just aren’t showing. The dev team is working on it and last I heard, things should be going back to normal. Let me know if they are not for you.
