  Hello! I’m trying to use the import tool on my tumblr blog and left it running overnight. I didn’t see any progress so I cleared account information and tried to start it again but I’m getting an error saying ‘can only have one import running at a time’. The button still reads ‘import blog’ and does not say ‘in progress’ anywhere. Is there anything else I need to do?

  Hi there, Please read the sticky at the top of our forums on the current tumblr import situation: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/tumblr-imports/

  Regardless, I’ve gone ahead and tagged this thread for Staff assistance as they need to clear out the current import.

  Bless you!
  The blog I’m trying to import for staff purposes is:

  Note that I do want to import that blog over. I guess I’ll just manually restart once the error message goes away.

  Good morning –

  I’ve reset the Tumblr importer for your site so you can try again.

  If it seems to take long, please be patient and don’t try cancelling the process yourself – we’re experiencing a high volume of imports from Tumblr at the moment causing a backlog of pending imports in our system. The imports are being run in the order they are submitted.

  If the new import doesn’t complete within 24 hours, please let us know.
