  Hey, I’ve had help with this a few times, and I’m not sure why the importer fails, but it’s telling me that I cannot import a blog when I am already importing. I’ve tried disconnecting and reconnecting several times. I’m not sure how to get past this issue.

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

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

  Hi there! Just to check, are you importing to the free site on your account which is http://admireddisorder.wordpress.com/ ?

  Hello there,

  I see lots of posts in place in the site: https://admireddisorder.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php

  Are these the Tumblr posts?

  Yes, it was working as intended up until 2021 where I requested a fix and was responded to by staff-blorbo. It then stopped working a few weeks after and I didn’t bother looking into it again until now. Is there a maximum on what can be transferred from tumblr to WordPress?

  Hi there,

  We’re not currently seeing a pending import on our end, so I am not sure why you are receiving the message that there is an import already in process. If you can connect your Tumblr and post in this thread. I want to check if we can find anything on our end that would be causing this error.

  Thanks!

  Okay I reconnected and attempted to import from the top blog only and received the same alert “You can only have one running import at a time. Please wait for the current one to complete. If you need any further assistance please contact support.” I only clicked once on the import and I am not seeing any progress on the import.

  Hello there,

  Yes, it was working as intended up until 2021 where I requested a fix and was responded to by staff-blorbo.

  I found that thread!

  I conducted the same action as staff-blorbo, and when taking a look at our logs, I can see there’s no migration taking place.

  Out of curiosity, when this last occurred – was 2 Factor authentication enabled? The reason why I ask is because, I’m wondering if we’ve stumbled across a quirk whereby the relevant pieces can’t access the importer because of this authentication….

  The answer to the above may help to find a resolve.
