Getting the WordPress.com admin/action bar to appear on my www.ads-software.com site?

  • Hi guys,

    I’m attempting to move from a free WordPress.com blog, to my own domain/hosting www.ads-software.com setup.

    Everything has gone smoothly, apart from one thing… The majority of my followers/subscribers come from WordPress.com members, and most importantly, the reader.

    When I’m logged in to my WordPress.com account, and I follow a link to a bloggers homepage on their own domain, I see an admin tooldbar at the top of the page that looks like – https://gyazo.com/fdb8c7f47c7d4d68e414097cf36571d7 – As well as a small action bar to follow them, and a few other things that looks like – https://gyazo.com/203c93e5b2c03f25ce714d789b2bba65

    A few examples of sites that have this functionality:

    – https://jetpack.me/
    – https://nutritionlately.com/
    – https://timeisnomadic.com/
    – and so on…

    Can anyone explain how I can get this functionality to appear on my newly transferred site?

    I’m assuming this is part of Jetpacks functionality, but due to search terms being similar and vague, I’m having trouble using Google to find any related information.

  • ou are right, you will need to install and set up the Jetpack plugin on your site to transfer subscribers from WordPress.com

    I know that I can use Jetpack to move my subscribers, and I’ve done so.

    What I want is that toolbar to show up (the ones shown in the images of my OP) when people visit my www.ads-software.com site, and they are logged in to WordPress.com.

    If you are logged in to WordPress.com, and access any of the three sites I linked in my OP, you’ll see what I mean.

    When those sites get traffic to their site through a search engine, the ability for the visitor to follow their blogs is super simple, there’s a button right there (as shown in the second image of my OP). Getting a visitor to sign up with an e-mail address (as is the only option I seem to have at the moment) will really hurt conversion rates.

    It can be done, as seen in the example links I’ve provided. I just don’t know how… Thus this forum question. ??

    The Jetpack site is one of WordPress’s internal sites, so that will have it’s own coding for that. The other two sites are hosted by WordPress.COM so they have the toolbar like all other WordPress.com sites do. I hate to say it, but not of the examples that you’ve given use the www.ads-software.com self-hosted software.

    So at the moment the only way to achieve the desired results are to pay $13 a year to point a wordpress.COM blog to my domain name, which still means I won’t actually own my content… Or wait and hope that this feature comes with Jetpack at some point in the future?

    I don’t know of any ways, but there could be someone else out there that knows more about it than I do. If you think it’s usefull the best place to ask about it in Jetpacks own support area on here.

    Okay, thanks for your input on the subject, I’ll have a post there, but I’m not holding my breath.
