Attempting to import my tumblr blog

  • Unknown's avatar

    Since word got out about tumblr banning adult content, I decided to try backing up my tumblr blog on wordpress just in case (as it seems perfectly clean blogs are becoming collateral damage as well).

    I’ve begun importing my blog on wordpress since yesterday, and I believe the 24-hour mark has passed. However, the import page still showed that 0 content has been imported.
    Am I still on the quene for importing, or did something go wrong?

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

  • Hi there – I’ve double checked to confirm your import is indeed still queued and waiting to run. Please do reconnect to your Tumblr account if you’ve already disconnected it.

    We’re processing quite a few imports from Tumblr at the moment, which is causing a backlog of imports in our system. While it may look like your import failed, it’s just in line for processing, and luckily it’s still in the queue. Please allow this to run another 24 hours, and if it hasn’t completed by then, update us here.

    Thanks for your patience.

    Aight, thanks!
    Guess I’ll keep the tool running and wait for a bit

    Right, it’s been way past 24 hours and progress remains 0%

    Approximately how long would it take for my turn to get imported?

  • Hi there,

    It looks like the import on your site has completed – some content has been imported, and no import is currently running.

    If you’re still missing posts, please restart the import now – posts already on your WordPress.com site will be skipped by the importer. It might take a while to complete, though, as we’re still seeing a lot of new Tumblr imports being created so there’s still a backlog. At this point I’m not able to give an estimate on how long it might take to catch up with the backlog, though.
