    I used to blogged at prisailurophileblog.wordpress.com

    I’ve since switched to pressedupinabook.com

    Noticed that my followers from my old blog did not received any posts from my new blog. This is a very common (and idiotic, believe me I know) question, but I’m so new to this. Darn confused. And there’s no follow button too. Which plugin should I activate? I’m just so messed up right now. Help is appreciated!

    From an amateur.

    to get all your wp.com followers moved over to following your new wp.org site you first have to install the jetpack plugin by wordpress.com. it is the “subscriptions” feature of jetpack that will allow your followers to be moved over and add the follow options to your new site. activate the subscriptions feature, then contact and request the wp.com support staff to transfer your followers over for you.

    if you want, you can also redirect your old wp.com site to your new site by purchasing the “site redirect” item from the wordpress.com store. that will forward all traffic it gets to your new site.

    more info about site redirect.

    good luck!

    I thought I wouldn’t get any replies! Wow, thank you so much, dohman. Everything’s fine now and I’m about to contact the wp.com support staff. It’s a huge relief. Thanks!
