  Just to be clear—I need to transfer my WordPress.com followers and email subscribers at “rprtphoto.wordpress.com” to my Jetpack-connected self-hosted WordPress site at “rprtphoto.com”. I will also post a notice on my old site about my upcoming move to keep my readers informed.

  I’m having the exact same issue… I’m trying to use the tutorial offered by Jet Pack but get the response “Unable to load manage page for this blog”

  I’m trying to take my followers from makeanddohandmade.wordpress.com over to my new url: makeanddoblog.com

  Please help!!

  Hey there rprtphoto and makeanddohandmade!

  I went ahead and moved your old blogs’ subscribers to your new ones. Let me know if things are looking good on your end.

  If you experience issues with this or have any questions about Jetpack, you can
  contact the Jetpack support team here:

  Thank you!

  Thanks so much, Druesome :)

  Jetpack’s subscription migration tool says that “Keep in mind that while your email subscribers will continue to receive email notifications of new posts as before, WordPress.com followers will only see new posts in the Reader. They will not receive email updates unless they subscribe to receive those on your new site. You might want to post a notice on your old site about your upcoming move to keep your readers informed.”

  I’m assuming that a simple post to that effect is what is meant?

  Yes, your assumption is correct. :)

  Five new followers have shown up on the old blog. Will they auto-migrate over to the new website? [It doesn’t look like it] Please give me instructions on how to take care of this myself instead of doing it for me?

  Could you try out the Subscription Migration Tool again by following these instructions?

  If that still doesn’t work, I can transfer the remaining subscribers for you. Let me know how it goes! :)
