I am switching to .org soon, and I just want to make sure that with the GUIDED TRANSFER FEE, my post will remain 100% the same. I am a music blog, and I use BANDCAMP WordPress.com codes. Will the engineer convert them to the standard codes? Also convert the youtube video codes?

Just want to make sure PICTURES, BIO, and ALL MUSIC STREAM LINKS will be the same.

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

If you install the Jetpack plugin prior to transferring your content in, it recognizes WP.com shortcodes I believe. I will flag this for staff confirmation, though.

My most recent bandcamp post example: http://ughhblog.com/2013/05/27/no-one-oceanside-ca-going-gets-rough-undergroundhiphopblog-com/

The bandcamp music widget code used for WordPress.com is:
[bandcamp track=4180317046 bgcol=000000 linkcol=ffffff size=venti]

My .org site will need this code to remain the same:
<iframe width=”400″ height=”100″ style=”position: relative; display: block; width: 400px; height: 100px;” src=”http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/v=2/track=4180317046/size=venti/bgcol=000000/linkcol=ffffff/” allowtransparency=”true” frameborder=”0″>Going Gets Rough by No One</iframe>

Bandcamp for some reason has 2 different codes for .com, and .org. Just want to make sure its converted too. I think the engineer might have to go thru all my posts with bandcamp widgets, and manually convert them, referring to the bandcamp song page.

No, I doubt you’d find an engineer on Earth who’d do all that for $100. But we never hear any complaints that the transfer doesn’t work, so I’d assume it does.

The Jetpack plugin will be installed with the Guided Transfer, and it brings many of the WordPress.com shortcodes to self-hosted .org blogs, including Bandcamp: http://jetpack.me/support/shortcode-embeds/ (under audio). So all of your Bandcamp shortcodes should work just fine in the new site with no need for modification.
