# Automatically Duplicate posts to WordPress.com Site

 * **QUESTION:**
    Is there any way to automatically duplicate all new posts (with
   tags, categories, featured images) to a WordPress.com site?
 * **WHY DO I WANT TO DO THIS:**
    I was originally looking to migrate my blog from
   WordPress.com to a self hosted wordpress, but then I realised I would lose all
   my WordPress.com community followers.
 * By creating a duplicate posting on WordPress.com I am hoping to keep all my WordPress.
   com followers AND gain the flexibility of plug-ins and especially the Google 
   Analytics for unique visitors etc.
 * **HOW DO I SEE IT WORKING?**
    1. I hit publish a new post on my self hosted site.
   2. Nice add-ins do things like set the featured image. 3. An add-in then takes
   the new post and duplicates it onto WordPress.com 4. WordPress.com then publishes
   it to my WordPress.com followers.
 * Point 3 is the missing piece to the puzzle. Does anyone have a plugin that can
   help (or even any other ideas/workflow/mechanism that will achieve the same goal
   overall?)
 * **WHAT IS THE BLOG SITE:**
    New: [https://wilkes888.com](http://wilkes888.com)
   Old: [https://wilkes888.wordpress.com](https://wilkes888.wordpress.com)
 * Thanks in advance all.

 * And if you do duplicate the content, you will get hit by Google’s duplicate content
   penalty. Why not just pull the RSS feed from your .org site into the .com site
   using the native RSS Widget?

 * Hi esmi,
 * Thanks for the warning. I didn’t realise there was a Google “duplicate content
   penalty”.
 * I am not familiar with the native “RSS Widget” but I’ve just read this;
    [http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/rss-widget/](http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/rss-widget/)
 * Unless I’m mistaken, it looks like my followers won’t be alerted to new content
   from the feed. Is that correct?

 * Not via the widget, no. That can only be used to post linked content from the
   new site onto the old one. But you could make one last post on the .com site 
   giving your new self-hosted site’s url and a link to the feed from your new site.
